Help Make the Season Kind With Downtown Vision Care

Request Appointment

This year the CBC Calgary Food Bank Drive is taking place but from a safe distance. Many local Calgary and Area businesses, including Downtown Vision Care, have joined forces to donate some fantastic items for an online auction. From private tours of the Royal Tyrrell Museum to Whiskey packages, there is something for everyone!

Make your bid on our special vision care package that includes:

  • One eye exam
  • One pair of prescription glasses
  • One pair of prescription sunglasses
  • One year supply of contact lenses
  • Value is based on prescription and will range from $1,500 – $3,500

The value of the package will depend on the winning bidder’s prescription. Single vision lenses are less expensive than multifocal lenses for contacts, sunglasses and glasses.

Make your bids here until Sunday, December 20, 2020, 07:00 PM MST!!!
