Merivale Vision care first opened its doors to Ottawa in 1987 under the name of Dr. Susan Orr & Associates and then became Merivale Optometric Centre a little over 10 years later. In the early days the clinic became known locally as the place to go for exceptional eyecare, and it was growing at an exponential rate. Just two years later in 2000, Merivale Optometric Centre (MOC) moved from it’s 1000 sq. ft space to a new 3000 sq. ft space at 1547 Merivale Road. The team at the time thought the space was huge and wondered how they would ever fill it, but in the end the space was perfect because the patient base wanted to stay local with their eye care and eyewear purchases.
Why buy from your local optometrist? One reason is for the expertise, as demonstrated by Merivale Optometric Centre’s meteoric growth into today’s current Merivale Vision Care (MVC). Another reason is passion. The team has always had unrivalled passion for eye health and pays incredible attention to all the details of eyecare, something you don’t get a big box store. As your family grows over the years with Merivale Vision Care, the team of practitioners grows with you and your eye health, allowing for true customization of your experience to your eye care needs.

When you shop with Merivale Vision Care you can be certain that you are receiving quality products with exceptional warranties from a clinic with deep local heritage.
