Visions One Hour Optical is 100% B.C. owned and operated and proud of it! We opened our first location in 1988, in Victoria B.C. Since then we have been proud to expand to our current 10 locations. We believe our success can be attributed to four things; great service, selection, value, and most importantly, our professional Opticians are second to none. Each of our Super Optical Stores offer over 1500 quality frames to choose as well as a wide array of lenses which are fabricated by our lab technicians, in our in store Optical Laboratories. Together this is an unbeatable combination allowing us to provide quality eyewear at better pricing than the American chain stores. Since we craft our eyeglasses in our in store laboratories, we can produce most orders in about an hour with impeccable quality control each step of the way. By not having to send your eyeglasses to a distant lab for processing we are able to save our customers both time and money.Giving back to the community has always been important to the Directors of Visions One Hour Optical. Visions One Hour Optical gives back through many corporate donations to local events and charities. Visions has sponsored Canuck Place, local sports teams, and been part of the popular food bank and Christmas tree programs. Visions is also proud to support third world eye care programs by donating new eyeglasses. The ten locations of Visions One Hour Optical are also donation points for used eyeglasses, which also go to the third world, giving needy people the gift of sight.

Williams Lake is named in honor of Secwepemc chief William. The story of Williams Lake began in 1860 during the Cariboo Gold Rush when Gold Commissioner Philip Henry Nind and Constable William Pinchbeck arrived from Victoria to organize a local government and maintain law and order.At the time, two pack trails led to the goldfields, one from the Douglas Road and another trail through the Fraser Canyon. Both met at Williams Lake, which made it a good choice for settlers and merchants. By 1861, Commissioner Nind had built a government house and had requested the funds to build a jail. With the center of local government being at Williams Lake, the miners and businessmen all had to travel there to conduct their business and soon the town had a post office, a courthouse, a roadhouse and the jail that Nind had requested.Williams Lake later became a hub for forestry, mining and transportation with the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, later BC Rail and now CN Rail.Williams Lake hosts the annual Williams Lake Stampede, which takes place over the Canada Day long weekend.
