My family and i highly recommend Lions Gate Optometry & Optical. My eye examination was excellent. The Doctor was so thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. In addition, the Doctor guided me through the whole eye exam, and explained every step. I would rate the eye exam, and the fantastic customer service a 10/10. I recommend Lions Gate Optical to as many people as I can because I always leave with a beautiful pair of new, high fashion glasses, and a very excellent eye exam. My eyes feel healthy, and my eye wear gets so many compliments. My eye glasses have been receiving lots of compliments on my Zoom sessions! Thank you!!!.

I have just had my eyes tested at Dr Mahmood Gilani’s clinic I was so pleased with my visit being greeted by the staff with a smile on their faces and very polite. I find Dr Gilani to be very professional in his work he explains everything that he is doing and takes lots of time with you. I would highly recommend LionsGate Optomotrist Clinic to everybody that is apprehensive about having their eyes tested you will be very pleased with your decision after seeing Dr Gilani.

Dr. Gilani and his staff are simply amazing. Extremely professional, and thorough. Although they have two locations, Burnaby and North Vancouver, I see him at the North Vancouver office. Parking is never an issue and very centrally located, close to LGH and one block east of Lonsdale Ave. I highly recommend Lions Gate Optometry.

Ask Our Doctor a Question...

Aren’t sunglasses really only needed in the summer?

No. Although we think of summer when we think about sunglasses, the damage from UV radiation occurs year-round. Long-term exposure to UV has been shown to increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

Is there a difference between a cheap pair of regular sunglasses versus designer sunglasses?

I believe once you put on a pair of polarized sunglasses you will understand and appreciate the difference. the clarity , and the difference in color is amazing. It is also one of the best way to protect you eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. A "regular" pair of sunglasses is better than nothing ( along with wearing a hat) in protecting your eyes from the sun, but there is no comparison to polarized sunglasses

How do I know which sunwear lenses absorb UV rays the most?

Generally, most sunwear lenses will absorb UV lenses to some degree. Lenses that are marked CR-39R plastic, absorb about 88 percent of UV light. If sunglasses contain polycarbonate lenses, UV absorption will be 100 percent.
