Finding the right eyeglasses in Okotoks should not mean compromising on selection, quality, or value. At Fantastic Glasses, we have built our store around a simple idea: everyone in southern Alberta deserves access to expert eye care, premium frames, and honest pricing -- all in one place. Whether you need your first pair of glasses, an updated prescription, or specialty eyewear for work or sport, our team is here to make the experience straightforward and enjoyable.
Third-Generation Expertise You Can Trust
Optician Jesse Eikeland brings third-generation optical expertise to every fitting. That lineage means decades of accumulated knowledge about frame selection, lens technology, and the art of matching eyewear to individual faces, lifestyles, and visual needs. It is the kind of expertise that simply cannot be replicated by a chain store algorithm or an online quiz.
When you sit down for a fitting at Fantastic Glasses, Jesse considers factors that go beyond your prescription: your daily activities, the lighting conditions you work in, your facial measurements, the width of your nose bridge, the position of your ears relative to your temples, and how your chosen frame interacts with all of these. This attention to detail is what separates eyeglasses that technically work from eyeglasses that feel like they were made for you.
Over 2,000 Frames from Premium Brands
Selection matters. A limited frame wall forces compromises -- you settle for a shape that is close enough, a colour that will do, or a brand you did not really want. Our showroom holds over 2,000 frames, giving you the range to find exactly what you are looking for.
Brands We Carry
- Ray-Ban -- The world's most recognized eyewear brand, from the classic Wayfarer to modern optical frames
- Maui Jim -- Premium polarized sunglasses with patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, designed for maximum colour and clarity
- Oakley -- Performance-engineered frames with Prizm lens technology, ideal for sport and active lifestyles
- Acuvue -- Leading contact lens brand with options for daily, bi-weekly, and monthly wear
- Alcon -- Advanced contact lens solutions including premium daily disposables and specialty lenses
Whether you prefer bold acetate frames that make a statement at professional events, sleek titanium for everyday comfort, or rugged sport frames for athletic activities, our collection covers every style and need.
Free Eye Test with Essilor R800
Every eyewear purchase at Fantastic Glasses includes a complimentary eye test using the Essilor R800 autorefractor. This advanced instrument measures your eye's refractive error quickly and accurately, providing precise data for your prescription. The R800 is particularly useful for detecting subtle changes in your vision that you might not notice yourself but that affect comfort and clarity in your daily life.
A current prescription is the foundation of good eyewear. Even small changes in sphere, cylinder, or axis values can cause headaches, eye strain, and difficulty with depth perception. Our free eye test removes the barrier to keeping your prescription up to date -- no separate appointment fee, no additional cost.
The 3-for-1 Deal: Real Value, No Catches
Our 3-for-1 deal starting at $199 is designed for how people actually use eyeglasses. Most adults benefit from having multiple pairs for different situations -- a primary pair for daily wear, sunglasses for driving and outdoor activities, and a backup pair for when the unexpected happens. Buying these separately at full price can easily exceed a thousand dollars.
With our 3-for-1 deal, you get three complete pairs -- frames and prescription lenses -- starting at $199. This makes it practical to build a collection that genuinely covers your life:
- Everyday pair -- Your go-to frames with lenses optimized for your primary activity, whether that is office work, driving, or general use
- Sunglasses -- Prescription sunglasses with UV400 protection and optional polarization for glare-free outdoor vision
- Specialty or backup pair -- Computer glasses with blue light filtering, sport frames for recreation, or a simple backup pair for emergencies
Lens Technology for Every Need
Modern lens technology offers far more than basic vision correction. At Fantastic Glasses, we help you navigate these options to find the combination that best suits your life:
| Lens Feature | Best For | How It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Progressive lenses | Ages 40+ | Seamless near-to-far vision without visible bifocal lines |
| Blue light filtering | Screen-heavy work | Reduces digital eye strain and improves sleep quality |
| Photochromic (Transitions) | Indoor/outdoor transitions | Darkens in sunlight, clears indoors -- one pair does it all |
| Polarized | Driving, water, snow | Eliminates reflected glare for clearer, more comfortable vision |
| Anti-reflective coating | Everyone | Reduces lens glare for cleaner appearance and better night vision |
| High-index lenses | Strong prescriptions | Thinner, lighter lenses for higher prescriptions |
Contact Lenses
Beyond eyeglasses, we offer a full range of contact lenses from leading manufacturers including Acuvue and Alcon. Daily disposables are popular with active clients and those who want the convenience of a fresh lens every day. We also carry bi-weekly and monthly options for clients who prefer extended-wear lenses. Our team can help you determine which type suits your lifestyle and comfort preferences.

Fantastic Glasses serves not just Okotoks but the broader southern Alberta community including High River, Black Diamond, Turner Valley, De Winton, and south Calgary. Our convenient location and comprehensive services mean you do not need to drive into the city for quality eye care and a genuine selection of premium frames.
