From February 1 to March 31, 2025, save $100 on selected high-precision progressive lenses. Offer cannot be combined. Details in clinics. Dr. Alain Côté, optometrist.
In February 2017, Dr. Valérie Bardier and Dr. Joël Godin, optometrists, officially acquired the Centre Visuel Hélène Fournier, a member of the Opto-Réseau network, located at 351 Boulevard Gagné in Sorel-Tracy.
After 35 years of practice, it was with a spirit of entrepreneurial succession that Dr. Hélène Fournier, optometrist, transferred her clinic to Valérie Bardier and Joël Godin. The two optometrists have been practicing at the Centre Visuel Hélène Fournier since 2012 and 2010, respectively. "I am originally from Sorel-Tracy, and it is out of love for my region that I chose to return here after my studies," says Dr. Bardier, optometrist and co-owner.
The current team is made up of four optometrists: Dr. Valérie Bardier, Dr. Carole Maillette, Dr. Joël Godin, and Dr. Anne-Marie Simard. Additionally, the vision professionals are supported by a team of six opticians and seven assistants.

A general eye exam will take into account the patient’s ocular health history. It will also include a refraction test (to determine the prescription required), a test to measure the focusing and coordination abilities of the eyes, an intraocular pressure test (when required), a peripheral visual field test (if necessary), and an assessment of the patient’s general eye health.
This type of eye exam will allow your eyecare professional to diagnose any problems and issue suitable recommendations.
Additional tests may be required to screen and monitor for certain eye conditions. These may include tests for dry eye syndrome, retinal imaging, and OCT (optical coherence tomography).
Our optometrists are trained to detect eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and more.
We are also able to monitor your case. Your eye care professional can carry out pre- and post-surgery follow-ups, as well as monitor ocular manifestations of systemic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Eye exams specifically designed for contact lenses users are provided at Opto-Reseau. We can fit flexible, rigid (gas permeable), toric, multifocal and coloured lenses.
If you have an accident involving your eyes or notice an unexplained change in vision, your Opto-Réseau optometrist can assess your condition, prescribe the appropriate treatment, and refer you to the right resources, with an appointment or on our availabilities.
Our clinic includes a cutting, finishing and repair laboratory on site to better serve you, in addition to providing you with a fast and personalized service. Your glasses will be cut with the greatest precision for your complete satisfaction.
Explore our wide selection of frames for every style! Whether you’re looking for prescription or sunglasses, our expert advisors will help you pick a pair of personalized frames that are adapted to the face of your shape, your complexion, your hair colour, etc.
As vision goes down, most people find it increasingly difficult to continue their normal activities, even with the best possible glasses or contact lenses. If your vision drops to the point of being between 20/60 and 20/190, it is said that you are suffering from partial vision or low vision.
Many diseases and disorders can cause low vision. Our professionals can evaluate your functional vision, support you in learning about the use of your visual skills and evaluate your eye health. You will also get recommendations for the optimal use of residual vision and information about devices designed to improve visual operation.
If you have itchy, burning or flowing eyes, you may suffer from dry eye. Dry eye is a chronic, progressive disease that is very common and requires the expertise of an eye care professional to guide you in your treatment. It is said that the eye is dry when the quantity or quality of a person's tears is insufficient, which causes discomfort.
Our eye care professionals can not only diagnose dry eye, but also build an optimal treatment plan to help improve your quality of life and defeat this degenerative disease. Make an appointment with one of our professionals for personalized advice to better control your condition.

Visual rehabilitation helps to alleviate problems that may include, but are not limited to, eye coordination problems (strabismus, squinting eyes, eye strain), lack of convergence, amblyopia (lazy eye), or double vision. It helps individuals, through a programmed series of activities, to learn, relearn and reinforce specific visual skills such as precision eye movement, focus control and two-eye coordination. Exercises in clinic and at home train the eyes' muscles to improve visual, motor and perceptual skills.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a widespread vision disorder that’s currently on the rise. The earlier myopia develops in a child’s life, the greater the risk of significant visual impairment. There are various options for controlling the progression of myopia to reduce the risk of more serious vision problems in adulthood. These include contact lens options or ophthalmic lenses specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia. To learn more or to find out which options are right for you, consult our team.
La technologie MYAH est maintenant disponible à notre clinique. Ce nouvel instrument nous permet de dépister la myopie chez les jeunes, de la suivre et de mesurer sa courbe d'évolution. En contrôlant la myopie, on améliore la qualité de vie et le développement personnel des enfants. Plus la myopie se développe tôt dans la vie d’un enfant, plus elle risque d’évoluer à un degré important. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de remède contre la myopie, il existe différentes solutions pour contrôler celle-ci et en ralentir le développement comme :

With the increasing use of electronic devices in our daily life, whether for work or leisure, you may have noticed the appearance or increase of headaches, eye fatigue, pain in the neck and shoulders, dry eyes, dizziness or light sensitivity. Neurolens may be the solution for you. Using a sophisticated measuring device, our clinic can determine if this solution is right for you. Contact us to learn more!
A visual field is basically how far your eye can see in any direction without moving. Our cutting-edge tools allow us to precisely measure your peripheral and central vision. These tests help us detect certain conditions such as diabetes, glaucoma, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Our basic eye exam includes a basic visual field test but your optometrist might recommend specialized tests or regular follow-ups depending on your health condition and visual impairments. The SAAQ might also require you to undergo a specific vision test as part of a visual assessment.
A photo of the various structures of the retina can be taken using a retinal camera allowing a more accurate examination of the fundus. This technology allows the detection of several diseases of the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma and high blood pressure, to name just a few. It can also detect diseases that still have no symptoms.
The test requires only a few minutes of your time and does not require dilation in 90% of cases (drops that confuse vision). This test is therefore convenient and allows your eye care professional to monitor your eye health. The photos provide a basis for comparison between appointments to assess the evolution of the eyes or the effectiveness of treatments, if any.
Retinal imaging with ultra-wide field scanning laser (UWF ™) technology provides a fundus photograph that helps your optometrist diagnose, analyze, document, and track eye conditions that may be present in the periphery of your retina.
Traditional imaging of the retina in a small, or even wide, field allows only 10 to 100⁰ of the retina to be captured in a single image. Our clinic is equipped with an ultra-large field retinal imaging to capture 82% or 200⁰ of the retina, in a single image. The function of multiple shots and self-assembly of the optomap allows to visualize up to 95% or 225⁰ of the retina, leaving nothing to chance.
If you think about correcting your vision with laser refractive surgery, ask our eye care professionals if you are a good candidate. Our team of optometrists is able to do preoperative assessments to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. Your professional will be able to advise you about the solution best suited to your situation according to your needs and available technologies.
If you go ahead with refractive surgery, our professionals will work with closely the clinic to perform all postoperative follow-ups for your visual well-being.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique for obtaining deep images of opaque or transparent materials with a resolution close to a microscope. In particular, the OCT scan provides detailed images of the interior of the retina to detect diseases such as multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, or diabetic retinopathy.
