Provider information

Description

A second-generation optometrist, Dr. Prentice has a long-standing relationship with optics and eye health. His father, Vernon Sr., was an optometrist in Renfrew, Ontario and his brother Jim was a dispensing optician for many years in Ottawa, Ontario. After graduating from the University of Waterloo in 1982, Dr. Prentice gained experience working for a large optometric practice in Ottawa. In late 1985, he then acquired Dr. Frank Lynch's practice here in Pembroke, Ontario. In 2001 he moved to his current location at 481 Mackay St. and has recently updated his methods of practice.

Summary

Founded in Alberta in 2008 by a group of independent optometrists, FYidoctors has grown to be Canada's largest doctor-owned and professionally managed eye care provider with over 270 locations nationwide.   

 At FYidoctors, we believe that optimal eye health extends far beyond simply seeing clearly. While traditional eye care has long focused on correcting vision with glasses and contact lenses, modern optometry offers a wealth of preventive and therapeutic solutions that can transform not just how you see, but how you feel and function in daily life.
