Made in Canada
Proudly supporting Canadians from coast to coast.
FYidoctors was founded on the idea that our fellow Canadians deserve to see their very best, with access to the highest in quality care and the most advanced eye care technology. We’ve grown from a small handful of doctors in Western Canada to a national brand of over 250 clinics. We owe that success to our relentless drive to put our patients’ vision first, invest in Canadian technology, support Canadian people and engage with our communities.
Our 500+ doctors and 2800+ team members all live and work in Canada, including at our very own lens manufacturing lab in Delta, BC, where we produce and ship the most technologically advanced digital Internal Freeform lenses for patients across the country. The ability not only to help Canadians see life at its best, but to provide them with rewarding career opportunities too, motivates us every day.
As we continue to grow, our roots will always be firmly planted in Canadian soil. And we think that’s something to be incredibly proud of.
This FYidoctors location is pleased to be able to provide you with comprehensive eye care in a safe clinic environment once again. As doctors, the health of you and your family is our top priority, which is why we have implemented a new examination process with enhanced safety procedures. Our staff has been extensively trained on how to clean all equipment and touch points throughout the clinic. We would like to encourage all patients to please call ahead when planning to visit our clinic in order for us to try and monitor the number of patients in the clinic at any given time.

Your vision is important and we remain intent on providing you and your family the personalized care you deserve.

Dr. Yunie Kim
Dr. Yunie Kim was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to Vancouver, BC at four years old. She obtained her undergraduate degree in biology and psychology from the University of Western Ontario before heading off to optometry school at Pacific University in Oregon. While at optometry school, Dr. Kim completed internships in refractive surgery co-management, vision therapy, and ocular disease, and learned to give full eye exams in Spanish. She joined the practice in January 2022 after working in the Cowichan Valley for 2.5 years.
Outside of work, Dr. Kim enjoys quiet evenings with a book or a video game, and volunteers with homeless cats hoping to get them adopted into loving homes.

Dr. Sheila Pratt
Dr. Sheila Pratt
Dr. Sheila Pratt joins us from the prairies, originally being from Alberta. She obtained her undergraduate education from the University of Alberta, with an honours degree in molecular genetics, prior to attending the University of Waterloo for her optometry education. Dr. Pratt was fortunate to complete an internship in ocular disease management through Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. She then practiced in rural Saskatchewan for three years, and is very excited to have now relocated to Vancouver Island.
Dr. Pratt is passionate about providing comprehensive optometry services, with a focus on eye disease and management of eye emergencies. She is skilled in the removal of corneal foreign bodies (for example, metal shards or plant clippings after yard work), and offers skillful triage and management of sudden vision changes. Do not hesitate to contact our offices for an urgent assessment, should you be experiencing an ocular emergency!
When not seeing patients, Dr. Pratt enjoys keeping active. She is regularly found swimming or out kayaking, and enjoys exploring all the natural wonders and activities that Vancouver Island has to offer. Never one to turn down an adventure, Dr. Pratt has backpacked through Europe, Africa, and South America, and looks forward to her future travels.
