Contactless Curbside Pickup
We are taking many precautionary measures to prevent the transfer of COVID-19 to you and your loved ones.
As healthcare providers, we take the global concern about COVID-19 very seriously. We are doing whatever it takes to ensure that both your eye and overall health needs are attended to at this time. Social distancing should not compromise your ability to see clearly.
We are happy to now offer contactless curbside pickup at most of our locations. All you need to do is call the clinic upon arrival, and your product will be delivered to you outside in a tray or basket. All glasses and contact lenses are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by a member of our team before being delivered, including frames, lenses, cases and boxes.
If you receive your glasses and they do not fit properly, please contact us by phone or email and we will do everything we can to address your concern. We will assess on a case-by-case basis whether it is safe to drop them off at the clinic, or if we will need to schedule an appointment once regular operations resume.
It is of utmost importance that you feel supported by FYidoctors throughout these unprecedented times. If you have any inquiries regarding your eye health, including prescription or eyewear needs, please know that we are here to answer them anytime by phone or email.

Meet Our Optometrists
Lance Couture
Lance Couture
Dr. Couture is a dedicated professional whose passion for his work is reflected in the individual care held for his patients. An avid learner of the sciences, Lance also appreciates what it means to give.
“I like solving problems and helping people. And I love helping others see better.”
A University of Waterloo graduate, class president and valedictorian in the School of Optometry in 1989, Dr. Couture’s career began on Vancouver Island serving patients in the communities of Courtney, Powell River and Port Hardy. In 1993, Dr. Couture established his first practice, Driftwood Optical in Brooks, Alberta. From this success Lifetime Vision Care was born and quickly expanded to locations within the emerging communities of Edgemont and Tuscany in Calgary, Alberta. In 2008, Dr. Couture partnered with FYidoctors with the goal of coming together with like-minded optometrists to form a strong, patient-centered, eye-care practice.
“Our objective is to grow with FYidoctors, expand our practice and deliver even greater eye care experiences for our patients.”
Whether at work or spending time with family, Dr. Couture approaches all aspects of his life with great zeal and modesty.

Carmela Miranda
Carmela Miranda
Dr. Miranda was born in the Philippines, but moved to Canada with her family at the age of five and considers Calgary her hometown. When asked about her approach to optometry, Dr. Miranda quotes German philosopher Goethe; “You only see what you know.”
She explains that this means a heightened importance on continuing education and more technology in the office and in our approach to patient care. She says, “The more you know, the more you see. If you don’t know what you’re looking at then you don’t know what you’re missing.” She believes that more technology and education will improve the quality of life for our patients.
Her own educational background consists of three years of undergraduate studies at the University of Calgary before transferring into the School of Optometry at the University of Waterloo. She graduated from the program on the Dean’s list in 2008 and received the Carl Zeiss vision fellowship for her year.
While enrolled at Waterloo she was a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa Society and served as a member of the optometry school’s entrance committee. Dr. Miranda completed her internship with Dr. Wooldridge at the Eye Foundation of Utah.
Dr. Miranda spends her free time with her fiancé Alex. She enjoys cooking, eating out, summer hiking and travel. She also loves playing tennis, she says, “it’s a challenging sport and it’s really great for eye tracking.”
