Open your eyes

eto the DC Vision Cent

The DC Vision Centre, the brand-new
optical facility at the David Lam Campus,
is now ready to welcome you. Affiliated
with the Dispensing Optician Program,
the Centre provides a retail optical outlet
for the entire Douglas College
community, their families, and the general
public.

“College employees and students, as
well as their family members, will receive
preferred prices,” says Program
Coordinator Glen Oxenbury. “Our pricing
system should allow for savings of about
30% compared to the marketplace.”

Robert Dawson, recently appointed as
DC Vision Centre optician and retail
manager, will oversee the facility, located
on the second floor of the new campus.
Hours will be Monday through Friday, 9

am to 5:30 pm, and appointments are not
necessary. Payment can be made by cash,
cheque, VISA, or MasterCard, with plans
in the works for Interact and direct billing
to employees’ extended medical plans.

Oxenbury adds that because of its
close ties to the Dispensing Optician
Program, he’s convinced the DC Vision
Centre will set the highest standards of
practice, to reflect the quality of materials
and dispensing skills demanded in the
profession today.

“Tt’s essential for our students to gain
experience in state-of-the-art products, the
manufacturing process, and the
compounds used to create frames, lenses,
and contact lenses. The key word in all of
this, and in our attention to customers, is
quality.”
