Vision Opticians

Vision Opticians Qormi is the branch of a Maltese optician group found at 68 Triq San Bastjan in Qormi, in the middle of the island. The group sells designer sunglasses, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses and a wide range of eye care products, both in its outlets and through an online shop that delivers across Malta and Gozo. It is listed in our directory of opticians in Malta, which is handy if you have lost, broken or forgotten your glasses while you are here.

Sunglasses and eyeglasses

The shop organises its sunglasses by styles for women, men, unisex and kids, with a polarised section for glare-cutting lenses. Brands in the sunglasses range include Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Armani Exchange, Versace, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren, Swarovski, Arnette, Diesel and Vogue Eyewear.

Eyeglasses are grouped separately, with frames from names such as Ferrari, Scuderia Ferrari, Miraflex and Sferoflex alongside many of the designer labels above. There are also ready-made readers and blue light glasses, plus sunglass clip-ons, snow goggles and swimming goggles. If your trip involves bright days on the water, our best beaches in Malta guide and the Malta weather guide show how much sun to plan for.

Contact lenses and solutions

Contact lenses are a major part of the range. The shop stocks daily disposables, monthly and bi-weekly lenses, coloured lenses, multifocal or varifocal lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism and novelty lenses. Brands include Acuvue, Dailies, Air Optix, Biotrue, Total30, Precision, SofLens and PureVision.

If the terms are unfamiliar, here is a plain guide to the labels. Daily lenses are thrown away each evening, monthly lenses are worn for up to 30 days, and weekly lenses sit between the two. Toric lenses are shaped for astigmatism, where the front of the eye is not perfectly round, and multifocal lenses are made for presbyopia, the age-related difficulty with close focus. Product listings describe features such as moisture-retaining surfaces, UV filtering and handling tints, so you can compare ranges before choosing.

For lens care there are multi-purpose solutions, hydrogen peroxide systems and solutions for hard and gas permeable lenses, with larger twin packs available. A separate eye care section covers dry eye treatments, eye drops, lid wipes and cleansers, heated eye masks, allergy eye care, eye vitamin supplements, cleaning sprays and anti-fog spray. Value packs bundle popular lenses together.

Appointments and the other outlets

The website has a booking route, with a book an appointment button and a request an appointment link, so you can ask for a slot before you travel to Qormi. The group's other outlets are in Fgura, Ħamrun, Mellieħa, Paola, the Shoreline Mall at Smart City, Żejtun and Victoria in Gozo, which is useful if you are touring and would rather be seen nearer where you are staying. Our guide to relocating to Malta covers other practical errands for new arrivals, and the Apex Dental clinic is another health listing in the directory.

Online orders over €40 are delivered free to addresses in Malta and Gozo, while web prices may vary from store prices, so it is worth comparing when you are in the Qormi shop.

Reading and learning

The shop runs a blog on topics such as astigmatism, presbyopia, macular degeneration, UV light, blue light, the benefits of sleep for your eyes and the features of particular lens ranges. These are general reading pieces to browse before you visit, and they sit alongside the product pages rather than replacing a conversation with your optician.
