Hakim Optical began more than 40 years ago with Mr. Hakim grinding lenses for the Canadian wholesale market. His craft was learned, as a youth, in his native Iran and honed, in subsequent years, grinding lenses in Germany and then camera lenses in Switzerland.

Attracted by the excitement of retail opportunities, Mr. Hakim began to pass the great deals he gave to wholesalers on to the public.

Lenses

I'm very nearsighted. Lately I've been reading about new thinner lenses and Anti-Reflection Coating. Can these be used together? What else can I do to look better?

Using these two together is not only possible, it's a very good idea! If you decide not to take advantage of these features, there are other ways to make your glasses look better. Prescription lenses work like a wedge of cheese, the further out you go, the thicker it gets. Choosing frames with a small lens size will keep your lenses thinner at the edges. The thickness of the frame, and the addition of a tint can help mask the problem. Glass lenses are thinner than plastic, but they will also be heavier and not as safe. Ask your optician about new plastics, which can be as thin as glass in most cases. Minimum edge thickness lenses with Super Anti-Reflection are always your best option.

Contacts

I've had my contact lenses for about a year; and lately I've noticed some problems tolerating them for long periods of time. Do I need new ones?

Using these two together is not only possible, it's a very good idea! It's very possible you need new contacts. In general, soft contact lenses need to be replaced after one year, and gas permeable need to be replaced every two to three years. If you over-wear your contacts, they should be replaced more frequently. Your best bet is to see one of our professional contact lens fitters.

 

Genetics

I wear glasses. Will all my children need glasses?

It is difficult to determine, exactly, how strong a factor genetics plays in this. Sometimes "yes" and sometimes, "No".
