About Us

About Us  

The Eye Opener is an independently owned eyeglass dispensary serving the Sarnia-Lambton community since 1979. Located in Corunna, Ontario, we offer personalized service, expert lens crafting, and a wide selection of frames for the whole family. With three full-time opticians and a fully equipped on-site lab, we’re proud to provide fast, reliable care in a welcoming, family-run environment.

Our History  

Founded by Mark Hodgins in 1979, The Eye Opener began on Lyndock Street before moving to 219 Hill Street in the early 1980s, where we remain today. Over the years, the business has grown into a true family operation. Mark’s son Jason and daughter-in-law Kate—both graduates of Georgian College—joined the team, continuing the tradition of hands-on care and in-house expertise. Even Jason’s grandfather and siblings have contributed to the shop over the years, making The Eye Opener a trusted name across generations.

What Makes Us Different  

Every frame in our shop is hand-selected, and every lens is crafted in-house. Our full-service lab allows us to create prescription lenses with precision and cosmetic appeal, perform on-site repairs quickly, and adjust frames for comfort and fit. We combine technical skill with a passion for fashion, helping customers find eyewear that suits both their prescription and personal style.

Why Customers Choose Us  

Word-of-mouth has always been our strongest marketing tool. From longtime locals to newcomers from across Canada, our loyal customers trust us for honest advice, fast turnaround, and personalized fittings. We’re proud to serve multiple generations of families—fitting parents, kids, and even grandkids with eyewear that lasts.
