Our history

Our clinic was founded in 2006 under the name of ‘Eyecare at the Mulberry Doctors of Optometry’ by Dr. Susan Seibold. The clinic was recognized for excellent patient care and quality eyewear. In 2014 Dr. Henry Reis, an experienced and acclaimed corneal surgeon from Brazil currently practising full scope optometry in Canada, was provided the opportunity to take on the clinic following Dr. Seibold’s departure back to Germany. His vision for the clinic is to offer patients the most advanced technology in eye care and pair it with a highly skilled team of eye care professionals that create a distinct personal experience for each and every patient. This unique combination of drive, innovation, and commitment to serving the community has given life and purpose to Integra Eyecare Centre. In the picture on the right, you see the clinic when it was still named Focus Eyecare Centre Doctors of Optometry. We have rebranded to align our name with our team’s purpose and values; to provide an Integrated Approach to Eyecare, supported by the 3 pillars of Integrity, Innovation and Doctor Expertise.
