Top Eye Care in the Sandy Hill Area

Bastien, Prizant Optometry in Ottawa, Ontario

Bastien has been a trusted name in Ottawa eye care since 1913. When the jeweler R.J. Bastien started manufacturing eyeglass frames at his first location on Dalhousie Street, he recognized customer service as the most important factor of his business – a sentiment that remains a priority over a century later at Bastien Prizant Optometry.

With a patient base that spans multiple generations, the clinic is an essential fixture with deep roots in the Ottawa community. We also treat patients from Parliament Hill and Ottawa Byward Market.

Digital retinal imaging by Optomap, state of the art pre-testing instrumentation, is included in every comprehensive eye exam. The Optomap provides for a no – drops, holistic eye exam.

Direct-Ship Contact Lenses

We will direct ship contact lenses to you at no expense. Contact our office for more information.

Bastien and Prizant is located 2 blocks from the Rideau Centre on corner of Cumberland St. and Besserer St.

Q&A with Drs. Bastien and Prizant

Q: How do I know if I have Dry Eye?
A:
Dry eye can cause quite a few symptoms, anything from the eyes actually feeling dry to the eyes watering often, or having a burning, itchy, or irritated feeling. One of the most common symptoms is the eyes feeling gritty or like something is in your eye. Most people will often experience blurred vision since the tears, which comprise the outermost surface of the eye, are unstable.
