Welcome Dr Shae Morrison

Airdrie Eyecare Centre is excited to welcome Dr Shae Morrison to the team. Here is a little background about her.

Originally from the small northern town of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Dr. Shae Morrison completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta followed by her Doctor of Optometry degree at the University of Waterloo. Dr. Morrison realized her passion for optometry and eye health at a young age and, in 2015, was thrilled to join the Airdrie and Innisfail Eyecare teams and provide the exceptional eyecare she always envisioned.

During her final year of study, Dr. Morrison participated in clinical externships in primary eyecare and ocular disease as well as a volunteer eyecare mission to Romania where she gained vast experience in conditions ranging from glaucoma and uveitis to strabismus (eye turn) and learning-related vision problems. Dr. Morrison was awarded with the L.M. Newell Clinical Optometry prize for excellence in clinical care, as well as the Canadian Contact Lens Society award for excellence in contact lens care upon graduation.

She has a special interest in pediatric vision care, dry eye and contact lenses and enjoys providing continuing care to patients of all ages.

Away from the office, Dr. Morrison enjoys cooking, curling up with a good book and spending time with her husband and labradoodle, Penny.
