Optimal Vision Is So Much More Than Just 20/20.
When the eyes have trouble working together as a team, or the brain finds it difficult to interpret the messages it is receiving from the eyes, everyday activities can be negatively impacted. Eyestrain, headaches, lack of concentration, and even emotional outbursts can have a root cause in poor vision. Prescription lenses may be part of the answer, but vision therapy may be needed to retrain the brain with improved visual skills. In our clinic, we can help you with both routine eye care exams and advanced vision therapy.


Our dedicated team uses a specific approach to eye care, making us the premier eye care centre
in Kamloops.
Our focus as a Vision Therapy clinic and rehabilitation centre is single-minded – to enhance the lives of families in our community by improving their vision.

What Clients Have to Say.
Would definitely recommend, Quick and easy, and everyone there is very nice
Dr.Sitler is an excellent optometrist. She always explains in simple terms what is happening and is very personable. Would highly recommend her to all of my friends.
Dr Sitler takes the time to be really present to her clients. Her work is knowledgeable and thorough. Every one in the office is kind, and helpful to make sure questions are answered and needs taken care of.
Dr.Sitler is calm, efficient, personable and thorough. She saw my 5 year old daughter and myself. This was the best experience in an optometrist office I have ever had.
As someone who gets nervous, she was very calm and reassuring and made the whole appointment very easy and stress free. Would very much recommend to anyone!
We had a great experience from booking our appointments, to having a thorough, well explained eye exam and then the ease of payment when using our benefit plans. Highly recommend 😀
Punctual, caring, sensitive, knowledgeable! The go-to for my whole families' eye care needs.
Great visit. Felt everything was explained well to me. I had a 3 year old with me and no one seemed to mind that he came for my visit. Staff seemed great with children.
The office is a little tucked away and might be hard to find at first, but once you're in the staff is amazing! The receptionist his bright, cheery, and friendly. The atmosphere is highly professional, and Dr. Sitler is highly knowledgeable. She's diligent, concerned for her patients, and always does her best to help you. It's one of the best optometrist experiences I've had!
Love dr Sitler and her team, they’re all a delight to be around and very supportive!
Kamloops vision therapy is client centred, inclusive to the needs of the child. I appreciate their flexibility and strongly recommend their services.
Kamloops Vision Therapy Optometry is the best place to take kids! We have been seeing Dr Sitler for several years now and she has always been thorough and knowledgeable with both of my kids, but especially attentive with my complex child. She is always willing to see her, if and when I have concerns, which happens regularly. She is incredibly patient with kids who struggle to comply when they are experiencing anxiety, and she actually sets aside enough time to do proper exams on children who may need some extra time and encouragement to make it through their appointment (which was not our experience at two other popular optometry clinics in town). I highly recommend Kamloops Vision Therapy Optometry! Thank you KVTO!!
Dr. Sitler was very professional and personable. I would definitely recommend her to new patients.
Friendly and knowledge. I was greeted with kindness and was treated with utmost respect. I left feeling positive thank you all at kamloops vision therapy optometrist
The office is quite accommodating and the DR. is very thorough. I did not do the therapy part, so I can't comment on that. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and patient. Thank you!
My preschool aged child recently saw Dr Sitler for an exam. She was extremely thorough, great at engaging with my child, and explaining findings to myself. As someone who was previously employed at an optometry office, I was very impressed! Highly recommend Dr Sitler - especially if you have specific vision concerns.
Best eye care I have ever had. Very though and patient. Everything explained as my vision has been changing. Wonderful staff! I have recommended to many people. I know I am in good hands.
wow - have not had our appointment yet, but the receptionist was so thorough, professional, and lovely to deal with 🙂
Tamsyn is very thorough, approachable, and efficient. She doesn’t have a retail component to her practice, so there’s no pressure to purchase anything. I’m happy she’s made Kamloops her home.
Husband said he got into exam quick, all staff and Doctor were excellent. Nice!
I had full eye exam today. First one in many years. Was excellent experience.
Dr.Sitler and staff have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable in my time spent at Kamloops vision therapy optometry, it’s wonderful to have people who care about their clients and work diligently to improve your own personal vision concerns!
The Optometrist was caring, personable, and knowledgeable; took a lot of extra time with me to make sure I had the right prescription. I did not have this experience with my last optometrist. I felt taken care of and my needs were addressed seriously.
I'm happy to give five stars to continue the perfect google rating that this business has. I guess it's pretty much the same framework (no pun intended) in getting an eye exam wherever you go...you know same tests, equipment etc. But here, with Dr. Sitler, it was different. It seemed....genuine. For example, there isn't a section that is full of prescription eyewear to sell - making one feel that well, hey, since you're here, let's get some more money from you and sell some expensive prescription eyeglasses. Nope, not here. Instead you get quality time (I was with the doctor for well over an hour, never once feeling rushed out the door). And in my exam, along with all the 'usual' kinds of equipment and testing, there were a few other extra ones that I hadn't had before. I appreciate that Dr. Sitler goes the extra mile to really figure out your eyes. Did I mention not being rushed?? Actually there were a couple times that I thought to myself, she is so genuine and earnest, and NICE, that it felt like I was having a chat with a friend. But a professional kind of friend if that makes sense. I went here because I had a not-so-great experience somewhere else and wanted to get a second opinion. I am so glad that I did! The other place just wanted to zap my pupil with a laser without fully diagnosing that I really even needed it! (turns out that I don't at this time, which is what my gut feeling was too). A couple more things. My appointment was at the end of the day, but I still had a great experience! Also, there is a parking lot (free) on the side of the building which is always a bonus. Oh and the receptionist was wonderful too!
Dr Sitler and the whole staff are great! Knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. Thanks!
Friendly- eye exam was conducted as usual but with some helpful advice. I would definitely recommend Kamloops Vision Therapy Optometry
Dr. Sitler is professional, thorough, friendly, informative, and such a lovely person. Her staff are helpful and friendly. You feel comfortable and well cared for from the moment you enter the office. I highly recommend Dr. Sitler for both vision therapy treatment and optometry services.
KVTO has been excellent and very accommodating every step of the process!!!
My appointment at Kamloops Vision Therapy was very welcoming right from the receptionist to all staff involved. Dr. Sitler was very thorough with her examination and explained things in great detail. She was very congenial and a good conversationalist. No hesitations at all in recommending her to anyone.Thank you Dr. Sitler. Judy Lintott
All the staff were excellent and Dr. Sitler was excellent and very throughly.
Such a nice comfortable experience! I would recommend to all! No pressure or pain and very professional!
Dr.Sitler is the only one I will trust with my eyes. She is very thorough and takes her time to explain the whole process. My prescription is complicated. With her help as well as everyone in the office I feel like I will improve with my eye issues.
The DR. Was Absolutely amazing and compassionate, they know what they are doing, I loved the vision therapy
It's always a positive experience visiting Kamloops Vision Therapy. Dr. Sitler is very thorough performing examinations and put my mind at ease by explaining the possible cause for my recent issue which ended up being very common and minor. Chantel, the receptionist, scheduled an appointment the very same day when phoning in to describe the problem with my eye. Thank you Chantel.
We love Dr. Sitler she cares greatly about her profession and we are so happy to be seeing her again <3
She does really well at explaining the vision problem and how to remedy it. Very happy with the service so far.
Yearly Visits due changing age and Diabetes2. She is professionally polished and has time to explain and not rush you.
Dr Sitler is very thorough, she really listens and explains the results of the various tests she performs.
My 4 year old was very nervous and they did an amazing job with checking his eyes.
Dr. Sitler helped me with my prolonged concussion symptoms and got me back to work. Her and her staff go above and beyond to make a difference. They are knowledgeable and compassionate.
Professional, patient and very kind. The Dr. has great tools for assisting my young child with controlling their eyes.
