After decades of dedicated care, laughter, and lasting impact on our community, we are both grateful, proud and little bittersweet to celebrate the retirement of two exceptional optometrists — Dr. Brian Barry and Dr. Carolyn Morland.

Since the 1980’s, Dr. Barry and Dr. Morland have been trusted pillars of eye care in North Bay, caring for generations of families with compassion, expertise, and genuine connection.

Dr. Brian Barry has been known for his thoroughness, dedication, and unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of care. Outside the clinic, his love of hockey, fishing, and especially his family reflects the same passion and loyalty he brought to his patients every day.

Dr. Carolyn Morland will be remembered for her warm, caring nature and wonderful sense of humour that could brighten any exam room. Whether she was sharing a laugh with patients or stories from her travels and golf adventures, she made every visit memorable and personal.

Together, they have shaped our practice and touched countless lives over more than four decades. Their legacy of excellence, kindness, and professionalism will continue to inspire us.

While they will be greatly missed, we are pleased to share that Dr. Marco Roncone and Dr. Cynthia Warren will be continuing care for their patients, ensuring a seamless transition and ongoing commitment to the same high level of personalized, comprehensive eye care.

Please join us in wishing Dr. Barry and Dr. Morland a retirement filled with many birdies on the golf course, great catches on the lake, exciting travels, and precious time with family and friends.

Thank you both for everything you have given to your patients, your colleagues, and our community. Your impact will be felt for generations to come. 💙

Don’t pack away your sunglasses just because it’s winter. UV levels remain strong year-round, and sunlight reflecting off sidewalks, buildings, or even light cloud cover can strain your eyes.

Protect your eyes every season with quality lenses that block harmful UV rays. 😎🌤️

It can be tempting to stretch the life of your contact lenses by wearing them an extra day or 2, but this simple habit can compromise your eye health. Over-wearing lenses reduces comfort and, more seriously, increases the risk of complications.

If you want to try contact lenses with different wear schedules, our team can help. Book your appointment today to learn more.

As winter fades, allergy season often begins earlier than many people expect. If your eyes are already feeling itchy, watery, or red, February may be the start of your spring allergy cycle.

A quick exam can help determine whether your symptoms are caused by allergies or something else and guide you toward the right treatment. 🌿

How much screen time is too much for kids? While there’s no magic number, it’s important to monitor for signs of digital eye strain.

Besides taking breaks including regular outdoor play, keep your child’s screen at a comfortable distance (arm’s length is a good rule) and adjust the brightness to match the room’s lighting.

A yearly comprehensive eye exam is crucial for monitoring your child’s developing vision and uncovering any potential issues early.

Give us a call at (705) 474-3220 to book an appointment for your child’s eye check-up today!
