Yanly

I failed the vision test (for driving) and the SAAQ asks me to find optometrist to check eyes and prescribe new glasses.  The pair I am wearing was from Hong Kong, 2002.  I am a housewife, and my husband just starts his new job and not yet passed probation (==> can't expect to be covered with employee health insurance).  I have no private insurance and I am very shortsighted.

I live in Brossard, but in shops where opening hours are long/near metro station, i am willing to go to Montreal to have one).  Does the shop offer gurantee like vision examination precison?
