Family Eye Care in Saskatoon

Originally from Cold Lake, AB, Dr. Schamber received his Doctor of Optometry degree with honours from the University of Waterloo in 1997, after which he completed a residency in ocular disease and surgical co-management at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. He spent one year as a staff optometrist at The Eye Institute in New Port Richey, FL, before returning to Canada to open Vista Eyecare in 2003.

Dr. Schamber has lectured for the Canadian Diabetes Association regarding the effects of diabetes on the eye, to family physicians on emergency eye care, and to ophthalmology residents about contact lens fitting and assessment.

He was the chair of the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists’ Continuing Education Committee for nearly 10 years and has also served on its Practice Appraisal Committee. Dr. Schamber was recognized by Bausch & Lomb for excellence in the field of contact lenses and now maintains a special interest in ocular disease and surgical co-management.

Dr. Schamber is married to Dr. Nadia Lypka, also an optometrist in Saskatoon, and has two sons, Andrew and Luke. He likes soccer, snowboarding, water sports, and coffee. When not at the office, he can often be found at the SaskTel Sports Centre or the Saskatoon Field House watching his boys’ activities.

Dr. Orr attended the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Waterloo and has called Saskatoon home since 1988. Vista Eyecare welcomed Dr. Orr in 2009. She appreciates the continuous advancement in knowledge and technology in the profession of optometry.

Both Dr. Orr and her husband, M. Craig Campbell (an artist-blacksmith), are happy empty-nesters. They enjoy supporting local artists, live music, and many of Saskatoon’s fine restaurants.

Dr. Finch was born and raised in Prince Albert, SK, completing her Bachelor of Science at the University of Saskatchewan. She then moved to Chicago to attend Illinois College of Optometry, graduating in 2012 with her Doctor of Optometry.

During Dr. Finch’s studies, she worked at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, the University of Kentucky Eye Clinic, the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, and the Illinois Eye Institute. This gave her a chance to travel around the US and learn a wide variety of practices. The majority of her time as an intern was spent focusing on ocular disease, emergency eye care, and pediatrics.

Dr. Finch practised for one year in the Chicago suburbs before happily returning to Saskatchewan in 2013. She joined the Vista Eyecare family in 2015.

In her free time, Dr. Finch and her husband Kevin enjoy travelling, taking their dog Charlie to the lake, and relaxing at home. Dr. Finch also loves crafting as well as designing and making fun costumes for any event possible, including her annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party!
