About this business
Eyesmate Optical at First Markham Place, Unit 61, is a retail optical store offering frames, prescription lens fitting, sunglasses, and contact lenses. Optical retailers in Markham commonly help coordinate eye examinations with associated optometrists, accept most Ontario vision-care benefit plans (Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc.), and submit insurance claims directly when possible.
Frame styles range from designer to budget, and lens options include single-vision, progressive, anti-reflective, blue-light filtering, and photochromic (transition) lenses. Bring a recent prescription if you have one; otherwise the store can refer you to an in-mall or nearby optometrist.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get an eye exam at Eyesmate Optical?
Eye exams in Ontario are performed by licensed optometrists. Optical retailers like Eyesmate typically coordinate with associated optometrists or refer you to an in-mall optometrist (e.g. Dr. Albert S.Y. Ng or Dr. Kit Guan, both at FMP) for the exam. Call 905-604-8428 for the current arrangement.
Does Eyesmate accept Sun Life or other vision insurance?
Yes — most Ontario optical stores, including those at FMP, accept major group benefit plans (Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, Canada Life, etc.) and many can submit claims directly on your behalf. Bring your benefit card and member ID. Coverage rules vary by plan — call 905-604-8428 to confirm before purchase.

Call 905-604-8428 for frame selection help, lens orders, contact lens supply, and to confirm hours or insurance policies.
Are Mandarin and Cantonese spoken at Eyesmate?
Yes — staff at FMP optical stores commonly speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Communicating prescription needs (progressive, blue-light, contact lens fit) in Chinese is straightforward.
Do you sell contact lenses, including coloured contacts?
Yes — daily, bi-weekly and monthly soft contact lenses are stocked or can be ordered. Coloured/cosmetic contacts are also commonly available. A valid contact-lens prescription is required, which is separate from a glasses prescription. The store can help arrange a contact-lens fitting if you do not have one.
How long does it take to get prescription glasses ready?
Standard single-vision lenses can sometimes be ready same-day or within a few days; progressive, high-index, or specialty lenses (e.g. blue-light filter, photochromic) typically take 1–2 weeks. The store will give you a specific timeline at the time of order.
When is Eyesmate Optical open?
Generally Monday to Saturday 10:30 am to 7:30 pm, and Sunday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm — tracking FMP mall hours. For repairs, frame adjustments, or lens pickups, calling 905-604-8428 ahead can save a trip.
