Our Story
Established in 1954 by Dr. David Oakley, Oakley Vision Centre has been a trusted name in eye care for generations.
What began as a small-town practice has grown into a cornerstone of the Interlake community, offering expert vision services while preserving the values that set us apart: care, consistency, and connection.
Our roots run deep. From parents to children to grandchildren, many of our patients have trusted us with their vision for decades.
As the community has grown, so have we – adopting new technologies, expanding our services, and continuing to provide the kind of personalized care you expect from a local clinic that knows your name.

We believe that exceptional care should be accessible.
Our mission is to deliver comprehensive, personalized eye care to patients of all ages, with professionalism and warmth. Whether you're here for a routine exam or managing a more complex condition, our goal is to help you see clearly and feel confident in your care.
