Take a rest from going on a ferry to get your new glasses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For nearly 30 years Gulf Islands Optical has provided quality eyewear for islanders with excellent after sales service. During this time, people have come into the shop for repairs on their glasses and said:<\/p>\n

” I never looked on island because I assumed the prices would be higher on Salt Spring.”<\/p>\n

But here is a fact. Overheads at Gulf Islands Optical are far lower than in the city. This is a one man shop so you can deal with the owner and get a great deal.<\/p>\n

When you get your eyes tested on island, the prescription is yours. You paid for it. You can shop around. And if you shop at Gulf Islands Optical you can have quality eyewear for a reasonable price right here on Salt Spring.<\/p>\n
