Celebrating the moments, memories, art and incredible collaborations that continue to shape AYA Optical. ✨

Eyewear That Sees You.
Because the best frames don't change who you are.
They help you feel more like yourself.
We're proud to partner with .optometry in London, Ontario, celebrating the power of independent eyewear and independent optometry.
Together, we're helping people discover frames that reflect their individuality.
AYA Eyewear
AYA Eyewear brings art, culture and storytelling into contemporary frame design. The collection features artwork by renowned First Nations artist Corrine Hunt, whose designs draw inspiration from her Kwakwaka’wakw and Tlingit heritage, family history and the natural world of the Pacific Northwest.
Hunt’s distinctive artwork transforms each frame into a wearable canvas, bringing traditional themes and visual storytelling into modern eyewear. The result is a collection that is expressive, meaningful and unmistakably AYA.
Geometry, sculpted in acetate. 👓
The Le Parc takes inspiration from Gunta Stölzl, the pioneering weaver and only woman to become a Bauhaus master.
Warm Havana acetate meets elegant geometry, finished with a sculptural spherical tip. Across the collection, Le Parc plays with colour palettes, laminations, proportions and character to create eyewear that feels expressive, wearable and unmistakably distinctive.

Comfortable. Durable. Seriously kid-proof.
**12 hours. One drop. 👀**
That caught our attention.
SYSTANE® PRO Preservative-Free combines HP-GUAR, propylene glycol and hyaluronic acid in a triple-action formula designed to support the tear film and provide long-lasting dry eye relief.
In a clinical study, a single drop provided symptom relief for up to **12 hours** on Day 1.*
There’s considerably more science behind that little drop than you might expect.
