All adults from 35-40 years of age and over suffer from difficulty in seeing nearby objects to some degree (presbyopia). Although these statistics are authentic, when the time comes that someone finds that they need corrective eyewear, a certain am- bivalence prevails. What these people should realize is that they now live in an age where eyewear is fashionably acceptable. New innovations appear on the market constantly so that wearing eyeglasses is more of a pleasure than a hassle. If you stop in at PORT PERRY OPTICAL you will find eyewear styles that will complement your sense of fashion, not destroy it. : PORT PERRY OPTICAL has built an'image as a one-stop optical centre where high fashion and féasonable prices could co-exist. Originally established as The Eye Shoppe in January of 1982, pre- sent owner BROCK REVILLE changed the company name in September 1989. Brock and his staff will pay attention to your par- ticular needs whether you are in search of new frames, lenses, ac- cessories or just need adjustments. PORT PERRY OPTICAL offers a choice in the traditional glass or more lightweight plastic lenses along with such options as scratch resistant and anti-glare coatings, solid or gradient tints in many dif- ferent cosmetic or filtering colours, and multi-focals with invisible seams. Most repairs are done right at this location as they have a lab on the premises and eye examinations can be arranged through this office as well. If you are about to purchase your first set of eyeglasses or perhaps are thinking of updating your present eyewear, focus your atten- tion on PORT PERRY OPTICAL. valumart DISTINCTIVE LEADERS SERVING FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE AREA SCUGOG STREET, (Hwy. 7A) in the PORT PERRY PLAZA DOWSON'S VALU-MART has a history dating back to 1949 and is one of the over 120 VALU-MART locations in Ontario alone. Each location is independently owned and operated, but they benefit from the purchasing power of a large company so that additional sav- - ings made on purchases are passed on to you, the consumer. DOWSON'S VALU-MART features a combination of top quality products along with an efficient staff which deserve a most favourable mention, as we've found the clerks to be friendly, pa-. tient and knowledgeable about the products and their location. DOWSON'S has also brought to the consumers of the area, pro- motions to save you money realistically. They feature products from Dave Nicol's "Insider's Report" which includes their number one quality "President's Choice" brand as well as over 200 "No Name" brand products and over 100 bulk foods.
