About Discover Eyecare
An independent optometry practice on Market Way in Sardis, run by the same husband-and-wife team since 2004.
Market Way sits in Sardis, off the retail run that takes in the Luckakuck Way strip and the shopping centres, which places Unit 8 firmly in the newer half of Chilliwack's eye care. The pattern for health services in this city is consistent to the point of being predictable: one cluster downtown around Five Corners and the hospital, another along the Vedder Road corridor through Sardis serving the south end as it has filled in. Optometry has followed the same split as dentistry and general practice, and Sardis is where the retail weight of the south end now sits.
Discover Eyecare has been run by the same husband and wife team since 2004, which is exactly the distinction this directory is drawing. The national optical chains have a presence in Cottonwood Centre and Eagle Landing and are excluded from the list. Taking them out removes most of the mall dispensing and leaves the owner-operated practices, where the person doing the exam is likely to be the same one next time and, in a city this size, may well have seen the rest of the family too. Exams, dispensing and contact lens fitting are the ordinary work of a practice like this, and in several of the independents on this page the work extends to following the same family over decades, which is a different proposition from a single visit.
The phone number above is how to book. Reasonable things to raise on that first call: whether they are taking new patients, how far ahead the appointment book runs, and what happens with a broken frame or a lost lens between visits, since that is usually the situation that decides whether a local optometrist is convenient or merely nearby. No website is published here, so the phone is the route in, and also the way to pin down the unit before hunting along Market Way for it.

Chilliwack eats in three separate places, and only one of them is obvious
The drive-throughs on Luckakuck are the visible half of eating here. The interesting half is downtown, out on the farm roads, and in the strip plazas nobody photographs.
