History
United Optical Dispensary Ltd was first opened in December 1965 by Doug Stephen. The goal was to always provide clients with quality products and exceptional service. Doug loved being an optician. He loved people and provided quality service for generations of families at his store. We continue to strive to achieve his vision of quality product and customer service for you today. We learned from Doug, a master craftsman, so we understand optics and we love modern style. We enjoy discussing your individual vision needs and how glasses and contact lenses can meet your needs. We invite you to let us help you see life through our lenses.
