Who we are

The people you will actually see.

Visus Eyewear was founded by Pat Piro, and the store on Upper James Street has been run by the same small team ever since. Our Hamilton community is important to us: one of our most beloved local charities is the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, which gives us an opportunity to support local patients and health care workers beyond our own clinic.
