Okay. 6700 Park
Avenue
store. Unique optic. Beautiful glazes
store.
8 to 10 p.m. So if you're
busy schools, you want to come over and
come at night
shopping. How are you? How are
you? You're the only from glasses store
here in the Mont area, right? As far as
I'm aware, Montreal has many benefits.
One of the benefits is about getting
eyeglasses for kids, right? Yes. So what
is that program for? So, the RAMQ
Medicare, which everybody's enrolled in,
uh, gives $300 for any purchase of
eyeglasses for kids every two years as
long as you have a prescription. It
could be from out of the province, it
could be from New York, it could be from
London. What do you mean from from New
York? If you're a Canadian citizen, as
long as you're you have Ram, as long as
you're
Montreal resident, your prescription
from the doctor could be from anywhere,
but the purchase has to be made in
Quebec. Okay? Okay. So, if you purchase
eyeglasses in Quebec every 2 years,
you're eligible for $300. Wow. $300. So,
you have a family of 10 kids, you get
$3,000 every two years, right? Yes. If
if every kid has a
prescription about And how much is a
typical glasses cost? So, the regular
single vision glasses for kids will
range between
230 and it can go very high because of
this. There's a new lens that doctors
are prescribing called the myopia
control. It's a little longer than this
discussion, but it's uh slows down the
the prescriptions, the minus the high
minus prescriptions from going higher.
Mhm. So that's um but that's that's a
specialty. Let's see the glass you have.
You have our new brand, you know. Yeah,
we have a live London which we'll get to
in a second, but I would like to show
you first if you just follow me here to
this wall. These are mostly kids
plastics and metals. They're both very
metals are very popular. Plastics are
always a little bit of a better choice
simply because of the durability. But uh
yeah, all of these are kids and small
adults. And then the right side is
mostly adults plastic. Well, let's say a
typical glasses is how much? Let's say
an average typical frame over here with
a single vision lens which is let's say
a minus 2 minus 3 even higher will be
about 230 to 260. So you could spend
$260 on your kids glasses and you still
get a check for 300. So what are you
supposed to do with the rest of the
money? You're going to have to figure
out what to do with it. You lot there's
a lot of lots of options today. Wow.
What to do with the So they give you
$300 and if the glasses cost more than
$300 then it's the same $300. Correct.
You'll be out of pocket for the
difference. Reason they did this
actually was done because of a study
done on kids who dropped out of school
and they traced it back to poor vision
in their childhood. Kids didn't see in
school. They weren't doing well in
school. parents weren't buying glasses,
I guess. Right. So, it works out for the
Yiddish community especially because a
lot of a lot of yidden have uh
prescription.
Wow. Beautiful. Beautiful. So, you have
many brands here. And are these Yiddisha
brands? Are these uh Canadian brands now
with the tariffs? What's going on? So,
we try to stick with Yiddisha brands
only. I think almost everything hidden
in here is from a Yiddisha vendor.
Really? There's so many Yiddisha glasses
companies. Yes. A lot. Lots of them.
Yes. From where? from American companies
from here, New York, you have a
Montreal. You have over here Montreal.
Really? Yeah. Yeah. So, let's say you
have now a new uh brand. You brought in
a new brand here. Live London. You had
retired last week. Yeah. Live London is
a is a emerging brand, very very popular
in the tri-state area right over here.
We don't have a large selection of it,
but we're getting more. It's a very
sleek, um, elegant, and just very very
much with the with the style. It's a
beautiful, beautiful frames. Um, a
little bit more expensive than than the
other frames there, but not not out of
reach. Um, and then you have a couple of
How does it go? People buy it, people go
for it. Since we got it in two weeks
ago, very much very popular. Yeah.
People know about it or you have to
explain them what it is. I had a few
people who heard of it before. They said
they saw it in New York and they're very
excited to see it here. So, we're always
always happy to hear that. What other
companies do you have here? Here we have
Nifties. An inface Nifties is a a very
unique brand because it's for um adults
with smaller faces. You know, adults
want to wear more mature frames, but
they don't want to wear kids frames. So,
there's a special line just for them.
Nifties. What else do you have?
Beautiful. And then there's Colux, which
is just a general um element. Is it also
for kids or for for adults? Colux is for
adults. Um maybe some teenagers can fit
in them too, but it's just a very sleek,
elegant, um very fine, very fine frames.

types of brands. I see even you have

Golden Hearts. The Golden Heart brand.
Okay. I'm not going to take it as of
now. But tell me about you have premium
brands, any special brands, expensive

Uh yeah. And the distributor for the
Canadian distributor is a Yid. And
they're here in Montreal. Really? And
what is the benefit of having glasses
that is handmade?
When you feel it, you'll understand.
Really, it's hard to describe. It's a
It's light. It's It's not just light.
It's extremely light. There's many light
eyewear out there, but silhouette is
extremely light, durable. Sometimes you
feel something is very light, you think
it's going to break. This is on the
contrary, it lasts. It's beautiful. So,
