Dr. Ryan Magyar

Ryan LQ 3 in the Heart of Qualicum Beach

After graduating from the University of Waterloo in 2009, Optometrist, Dr. Ryan Magyar, wanted to design a practice that brought together a simple, quality-oriented eye care experience for his patients. Finding a home in Qualicum Beach, he's done just that!

Knowing his patients need, and deserve, eye care that far exceeds the ‘usual’ standard, Dr. Ryan Magyar has invested in advanced diagnostic medical instrumentation and quality-driven optics in order to provide preventative, as well as routine care.

Being an active part of the Qualicum, and wider Vancouver Island, community is very important to Dr. Magyar and his team; they are excited to offer unique spectacle frames by local designers as well as exciting fashions from around the world.

I went elsewhere, a year ago, for glasses, was served, but not happily. This year, Focal Point Optometry did everything possible to help me see clearly! I saw real professionals who treated me with kindness and respect and did not let dollar signs obscure their vision. Thank-you, Shirley and Dr. Magyar.

The happiest I have ever been with new glasses. Great staff and very thorough eye care. Highly recommended! -R.M
I had the best experience in over 20 years of wearing glasses! The exam was the most thorough by far which has provided me with incredibly clear vision. The staff all were so helpful and HAPPY. No matter where you live on the island it's worth the drive. I didn't realize how much I was missing. Thank you Dr. Magyar and staff for the amazing vision! -Mick and Cathy H.
5 stars all day long! When you want glasses or to get contacts, you want a one stop shop. Well, Dr. Ryan is an awesome and very knowledgeable doctor who will give you your best case scenario. Im very happy to have avoided a situation I didn’t want and now I’m getting contacts instead. Stacey and the others are spot on too. I’ll be back! - T.
Dr. Magyar took the time and found the perfect solution for me and I feel like I am 30 again at least when it comes to how well I can see distances! ~ Diane R.

Ryan and his team are the best Optometry group I have ever dealt with. They understand that life happens and they go above and beyond to make sure that you have glasses that suit your needs. It's a pleasure going into their store. You feel like an old friend. Thank you all for your amazing service. -M. Lewkin
Good personal service and friendly staff. A nice change from the optometry factories elsewhere. Ten months later, another round of excellent customer service at Focal Point Optometry.
-David R.
I would like to send a thank you to, I believe her name was Sara. I am from the Okanagan and visiting Parksville and area. My glasses have been problematic for quite some time, causing me discomfort. I stumbled upon their business while walking, was intrigued by their window diplay and entered. Through chatting, I decided I would ask for assistance. She went over and above! My glasses honestly have never felt better on my face!!! I was well received even though I hadn't purchased from them. I was also able to try on some amazing styles while in the store, have some photos of frames that I loved.Thank you Sara! -Val S.
I cannot say enough about this place...My brother is in a wheel chair and has physical impairments that make it very difficult to examine him BUT Dr. Magyar and the staff bent over backwards to examine and fit him ...They put my mind at ease that there was no underlying eye disease process going on also..
- Linda S.
