Meet Our Optometrists in Mississauga, ON
Dr. Amy Sylvester loves taking care of people. It was no surprise that her education culminated in an optometry degree from The New England College of Optometry. Her years in Boston allowed her to develop high level optometric skills. She is grateful for her learning experiences in diagnosing and treating ocular disease, which included rotations in Veteran's Hospitals in upstate New York, a busy ophthalmology clinic in Maryland, and a Community Health Centre in the North End of Boston. At graduation, Dr. Sylvester received the Dr. Hyman R. Kamens Award for dedication to the optometry community.
In 2000, she returned to Canada and has enjoyed providing primary eye care to patients of all ages. Highlighting clear communication and patient education, Dr. Sylvester looks forward to providing individualized treatment plans for those in her care. As an established optometrist, Dr. Sylvester has solid referral partnerships with many family doctors in Mississauga. She has been recognized as a Top Referring Doctor in 2019 by The Ophthalmic Consultant Centre and also co-manages patients with The Prism Eye Institute and TLC Oakville.
Her dream job would be to provide eye care to the Cast Members at Disneyworld. In her non-optometry life Dr. Sylvester's goal is to eat great food made with love and play a lot of board games with her family. She is extremely proud of her son Cole, thrives due to the love and support from her husband Ken, and recharges by exploring Stratford with those two from their "cottage" built in 1881.
Dr. Sarah Yan’s journey into the field of optometry began over a decade ago when she first started wearing orthokeratology (ortho-k) contact lenses. She experienced firsthand the transformative impact that innovative vision correction technology can have on one’s quality of life. This personal experience was the catalyst that ignited her interest in optometry and motivated her to pursue a career where she could help others achieve similar improvements in their vision. She knew she wanted to provide high-quality eye care with personalized treatment, compassion, and commitment to patient wellbeing.
Dr. Sarah Yan was born and raised in Mississauga. She then completed her Honours Bachelor of Science degree and her Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Waterloo in 2024. She completed her externships at a private practice in rural Dauphin, Manitoba, and a private practice focusing on dry eye and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Sarnia, Ontario.
One of the highlights of her time at UW was her participation in a Vision Outreach for Sight and Health (VOSH) mission to Malawi in 2022. During this impactful experience, Dr. Yan travelled to underserved communities and provided essential eye care services and vision correction. This adventure was professionally fulfilling and personally inspiring, strengthening her resolve to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
She enjoys practicing all areas of optometry and treating patients of all ages. Dr. Yan can provide care in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, trying new restaurants, exercising at the gym, and running.
