From computer screens to tablets to smartphones, our lives have become dependent on digital devices, with many of us spending several hours a day on them. This prolonged time spent focusing on digital screens has led to an increase in eye strain and related symptoms. Untreated or undiagnosed vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, can also contribute to discomfort during demanding tasks.

Our optometry clinic is located in Clover Square Village, close to No Frills and Pizza Hut, right in the heart of Cloverdale, Surrey, BC. Our family has been serving the Surrey Area for over 20 years, and we would love to see you soon.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. Unique and wide selection of frames, lots of options for smaller budgets, the staff are so charming and delightful, great hours and location. I would highly recommend Annik to everyone. I am a customer for life.
What can I say. This place is the best. Amazing friendly owners who actually care about the customer and the exceptional service they offer. Great family and very helpful when picking out the right product. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Highly recommended.
They are the best! They treat you like family and really take the time to find the best pair of glasses for you. I walked in looking for a pair of sunglasses and found a pair that I’d never expect to look good on me!
Again, they really took the time to get to know my situation and provided a comfortable experience, even fitting the glasses to my face, for that perfect fit. Thank you Annik Optical!
