Social Assistance

Are you on social/income assistance? Optical Warehouse offers a range of products that will minimize your payment. You may have to pay a difference though always less than elsewhere.

If in Nova Scotia, contact your case worker to see if you are eligible.

If in Quebec, note the following from the Emploi-Quebec special benefits file:

"Before you buy glasses or contact lenses, you must have a completed form from an agent at the local Employment Center or the Customer Contact Center. This form authorizes the purchase or replacement of glasses or contact lenses under certain conditions. Costs related to the purchase of glasses or contact lenses are paid directly to the optometrist or optician by the Ministry of Employment and Social Solidarity. "

We accept the following payment solutions in our branches: cash, debit, Visa and MasterCard credit and our gift cards.

With Fairstone, you can opt to pay for your purchase over 3, 6 or 12 months. The request can be made online from any device at the time of purchase.
