Hello! I’m Lauren, I was born and raised in the Edmonton area and graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc in Biological Sciences. I went on to earn my Doctorate of Optometry from Nova Southeastern University, Florida. While there, I was president of the Beta Sigma Kappa Honorary Society and recipient of a number of awards recognizing my academic and clinical excellence, leadership skills, and  commitment to community service. During my externships, I worked alongside prominent ophthalmologists to diagnose and manage ocular diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. In addition to ocular disease, I have a special interest in the areas of dry eye disease, digital eye strain, pediatrics, and corneal/contact lens technology.  Promoting ocular health globally, I was actively involved in VOSH (Volunteering Optometric Services to Humanity) through my involvement with the Special Olympics and serving the underprivileged in Ecuador.  

After graduating, I returned home to Edmonton and have been fortunate to practice in a variety of optometric settings, which has fueled my desire to open The Monocle Optometry. I love getting to know my patients, treating them like family, and providing them with quality eye care and eyewear.  I place importance on taking the time to educate and thoroughly answer all questions, so you have a fuller understanding of your vision and ocular health needs. During my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and 3 young sons. When I’m not cheering on my boys at their hockey and soccer games, you can find me enjoying the outdoors or scoping out the newest restaurants in town. I am very passionate about health and fitness, traveling, fashion, and interior design.

Hi, I’m Cassie! I’ve been working in the optometry field for over 13 years! I started as an optometric assistant and slowly started learning more about the optical field as the years went on! I’m so excited to be a part of The Monocle team and I can’t wait to help you select your new eyewear! When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my 2 little ones and my husband!

Hi, I'm Sydnie! I am new to the Optical industry, joining The Monocle Optometry in early 2022 with an extensive background in administration, marketing and customer service.  I pride myself on being able to build amazing relationships and offer the best customer experience. I love working with patients and help others, so I have decided to focus my career by pursuing the Certified Optometric Assistant program.  I have a lifelong passion for eyewear and really believe that the right pair can change a life! When I'm not at work you can find me trying new restaurants with my husband, curled up at home with a good book or at the dog park with my best pal Phoenix.
