Welcome to Vine Eye Care

Where caring for your eyes means caring for the whole person

We believe your vision is connected to far more than your eyes.

And wellness is medicine.

Our Focus

A more comprehensive approach

Your nutrition, metabolism, lifestyle, brain health, sleep, movement, and overall well-being can all influence the health and function of your visual system. Likewise, changes in the eyes can sometimes provide important insights into what is happening elsewhere in the body.

At Vine Eye Care, we bring together modern optometry, preventive eye care, nutrition, wellness, vision therapy, and the science of the brain-eye connection to help you see clearly, function at your best, and protect your vision for the future.

We don't simply ask

“How well can you see?”

We also consider

“How well are your eyes, brain, and body working together?”

Our Philosophy

The Eyes Are a Window Into Whole-Person Health

At Vine Eye Care, we believe exceptional eye care begins by seeing the person behind the eyes. The eyes are closely connected to the brain, nervous system, vascular system, metabolism, and the rest of the body.

See the eyes. Understand the person. Support the whole.

The Vine Eye Care Difference

Where science meets prevention,
and healthcare feels personal

At Vine Eye Care, we envision eye care differently.

Comprehensive, not fragmented.Preventive, not simply reactive.Personalized, not one-size-fits-all.Evidence-informed, while always human.

We take the time to listen, educate, and help you understand your vision so that you can make informed decisions about your health. Our approach connects the science of optometry with the broader foundations of wellness.

Because when we care for the eyes, we have an opportunity to care for something much greater: the person who sees through them.

Meet Dr. Maureen

Caring for the Eyes. Considering the Whole Person.

For Dr. Maureen, optometry is about more than helping patients read the smallest line on an eye chart. It is about understanding the person behind the vision.

A Waterloo-trained optometrist and the premier eye care provider in Walkerton, she built Vine Eye Care to close a real gap in Bruce & Grey County, and mentors the next generation of optometry students along the way.
