Boulay Doctors of Optometry — Consumer Optical

Our in-house optical

Eyewear with Dr. Boulay

Designer frames, 2-for-1 packages and Nikon and Essilor lenses, most finished in our own lab — chosen and fitted by the same team that looks after your eyes. Walk in any weekday to browse, and we direct-bill most major vision insurance plans.

Our optical is known as Consumer Optical — same store, same people, has always been a part of Dr. Boulay Optometrists.

Frames

Designer and 2-for-1

We carry a large selection of designer frames and our stock is updated monthly to keep up with the latest styles. All of our frames are warrantied for two years, so your eyewear is built to last. If you have a particular brand or style in mind, call ahead and we’ll check what’s in stock for you.

2-for-1 packages: pick up a second pair — a backup, sunglasses or computer glasses — in one affordable package, quality lenses included.

Lenses

Nikon, Essilor and more

Having the right lenses in your glasses makes a real difference to how you see. We fit Nikon (opens in new tab) lenses — including the Kineo, Presio and SeeMax Ultimate lines — Essilor Varilux progressives including XR lenses with Crizal coatings. Being independent means we choose the right lens for your prescription, not one supplier’s catalogue, and quality lenses are included in our 2-for-1 packages.

Most pairs are edged in our own lab, so turnaround is usually quick. Every lens is covered by our two-year warranty and 90-day guarantee, with a no-charge prescription recheck within six months.

Already have a frame or a prescription?

Bring it in

New lenses in your own frame

If your frame still fits and feels right, we’ll fit new lenses into it. Because we do most of our edging in house, you’re usually not without your glasses for long.

Outside prescriptions welcome

Had your eye exam somewhere else? Bring the prescription and we’ll fill it — same lens options, same two-year warranty and 90-day guarantee.

Why buy your glasses here

Service you won’t find online

Direct Insurance Billing

2-Year Warranty & 90-Day Guarantee

Frames and lenses — including our value-oriented line — are warrantied for two years against defects, scratches and coating breakdowns. Any issue in the first 90 days and we'll make it right at no charge, and if your prescription needs a tweak, we recheck it free within six months.
