We recently partnered with World Tailors to produce some hand crafted, "after work" masks for our team. We're so pleased with their look, feel and quality!

We are excited to introduce a new contact lens RECYCLINGprogram! Collect the plastic packaging, foil and the contact lens itself in any single-use bag and drop it off in our designated bin. Please do not include the cardboard box it comes in, which can be recycled in your blue bin at home. #everycontactcounts

Teeple Optometry wishes to congratulate Dr. Mark Teeple on his retirement from practice. Dr. Mark launched the Arkona practice in 1979 following graduation from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry. He relocated the clinic to its current location in 1985. Dr. Mark brought the values of clinical excellence and continued learning to the practice. He earned his Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry and was a clinical supervisor and lecturer at the School of O...ptometry. He gave back to the profession by serving on various committees and the executive board of the College of Optometrists of Ontario where he went on to serve a term as president. He also served on the board of the Canadian Examiners in Optometry. From the beginning of his career, Dr. Mark placed a high value on the interests of the local community and his patients. Mark’s brother, Dr. Ralph Teeple, joined Dr. Mark’s growing practice in 1988. Dr. Tina Morowat joined the practice in 2016 and recently became a practice owner in 2019. Just this year, Dr. Liam Teeple has joined as an associate. Teeple Optometry’s vision is to continue to share Dr. Mark’s values of clinical excellence, education, community involvement and care for our patients. Dr. Mark will be missed by his fellow doctors, the team and patients of Teeple Optometry. We wish him the very best as he transitions into this next stage of life! See more

We’re very excited to welcome back Liam Teeple to our practice! He completed his training this year at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry.
