Butler Opticians Ltd. like to do business the old fashioned way. The company has built its reputation on quality and service. "Price is not the best route to success. You must maintain excellent quality".

The basis of Butler Opticians' success is long term customer relationships that thrive on the personal touch. This business strategy has worked for a long time.

William Butler found the company in 1967 on Barrington Street in Halifax. By that time William Butler already had 23 years in the optical dispensing business, including 11 years as manager at Imperial Optical. He wasted no time building a reputation as one of the premiere opticians in the province. 

William Butler raised and trained one of the first families of opticians in Halifax. Four children and three of their spouses have their dispensing opticians licenses including Galen Butler who also is a certified contact lens fitter and manages the Bayers Lake location. 

It is a tradition everyone at Butlers' works hard to carry on. In addition to taking over the management of Butler Opticians, John has followed his father as a director of the Nova Scotia Society of Dispensing Opticians, and is currently on the Board of Dispensing Opticians as vice chair.

Butler Opticians now have two convenient locations to serve their customers: 201 Chain Lake Drive and the new location at the Halifax Shopping Center.
