Our Optometric Team in North Edmonton & Sherwood Park
Our eye doctors and staff at Village Eye Centre have been providing quality eye care since the 90's. We are dedicated to providing an atmosphere of compassion and respect. Our goal is to remain at the forefront of eye care through continuing education while utilizing the latest state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
Meet Our Doctors
Our eye doctors take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing, and treating potential vision problems.
Dr. Brennan Nelson was born and raised in Sherwood Park, Alberta. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Alberta, he was accepted into the Optometry Program at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During his final year, Dr. Nelson completed externships at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, where he gained invaluable clinical experience.
At Bascom Palmer, Dr. Nelson rotated through various specialized clinics, including Neuro-Ophthalmology, Glaucoma, Corneal Disease, Pediatrics, Uveitis, Retinal Care, and Primary Care.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Nelson enjoys playing hockey and baseball, fishing, and spending time with his family!
A former soccer defender and football wide receiver, and now a father of two, he’s a sports enthusiast who never met a sport he didn’t like. For the past 14 years, he has channeled his energy and expertise into managing the vision needs of a diverse patient base.

Dr. Tromposch finds the most rewarding part of her work to be addressing her patients' vision concerns, helping them see clearly, and educating them on their treatment options. She earned her BSc from the University of Alberta in 1981 and her Doctorate in Optometry in 1985. Over the years, her interests have evolved, initially focusing on vision therapy and sports vision. Today, her special interests include scleral contact lenses, dry eye disease treatment, and family practice.
Dr. Tromposch has dedicated time as a volunteer on the competency board and has served as an investigator for the College of Optometry. She also consults with Health Canada and Blue Cross on optometric matters.
Fitness plays a big role in her life—she enjoys cycling, golfing, and going to the gym. Gardening is another passion of hers. Additionally, she has volunteered as an official at sprint canoe and kayak events at both the provincial and national levels.
Dr. Evans grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan. When he received his first pair of glasses in grade 6, he was amazed at how much clearer the world became, inspiring him to pursue a career helping others see better. After grade 10, he spent a summer working in an optical lab, where conversations with local optometrists solidified his decision to become one himself.
Following high school and dedicated studies, Dr. Evans earned his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Waterloo in 1982. Early in his career, he played a key role in the development of the Occupational Vision Committee (now known as Eyesafe), helping create a program that provides affordable safety eyewear for workplaces.
Dr. Evans is an active member of both the Canadian and Alberta Associations of Optometrists and volunteers as a mediator for the Alberta College of Optometrists. He enjoys all aspects of Primary Care Optometry, including emergency eye care and contact lenses.
Dr. Evans has been married for over 31 years and is a proud father of two grown children and a grandfather to two grandchildren. In his spare time, he enjoys a variety of music genres, older cars, technology, watching CFL, and exploring new places.
