Dr. Tamsyn Sitler O.D., FOVDRA
Optometrist
Dr. Tamsyn Sitler’s interest in how the eyes work together began during her own struggles with binocular vision in high school. As an avid reader, she found herself feeling unusually tired and even falling asleep while reading. Although her vision was fine, her eyes were not working well together, making reading more difficult than it should have been. This personal experience led her to complete a 10-week online vision therapy program, which significantly improved her eye coordination and ignited her passion for understanding binocular vision.
Originally from Ontario, I received my Bachelors of Science from University of Waterloo in 2007, followed by my Doctor of Optometry Degree from the University of Waterloo in 2011. I completed my Fellowship with the Optometric Vision Development and Rehabilitation Association (OVDRA) in 2021. I have also completed the Optometric Extension Program Core Clinical Curriculum, (Optometric Extension Program Foundation, OEPF), as well as the PAVE-Sanet Seminar Series. I am a member in good standing with the following: Vision Therapy Canada (VTC), COptometric Vision Development and Rehabilitation Association (OVDRA), Optometric Extension program (OEP), Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA), British Columbia Doctors of Optometry (BCDO).
I have been living and working as an optometrist in Kamloops since 2011, and opened Kamloops Vision Therapy Optometry in April 2019. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my husband and son. You can also often find me at running events around Kamloops, or reading a book somewhere with a coffee in my hand. Kamloops has been my home for over ten years now and I am proud to live here and I am so happy to be able to serve those in Kamloops and the Thompson Valley!
