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.
