Our Story

Dr. Wayne Yip attended the University of Waterloo for his undergraduate program and graduated from the prestigious New England College of Optometry in 2014. With over a decade of experience in providing comprehensive care, Dr. Yip has developed a keen interest in specialized contact lenses for the treatment of corneal conditions and dystrophies such as keratoconus, post-refractive surgery complications, and severe chronic dry eye.

Dr. Yip has personal experience and can especially relate to patients with complicated prescriptions due to his own high myopia. Consequently, Dr. Yip has earned the trust of the local medical community, prompting numerous area ophthalmologists to refer patients to him by name.

With nearly three decades of experience in the eye care industry, Kelly operates on a wonderfully simple philosophy: to give you the absolute clarity to appreciate every detail of your world.

Bringing years of hands-on knowledge, a lifelong passion for spectacular frames, and a genuine love for human connection, Kelly treats every appointment like a masterclass in personalized care. Whoever claimed that shopping for glasses is boring has clearly never stepped inside Performance Vision!

The Performance Vision Story

In 2004, Kelly brought a fresh perspective to downtown Vancouver by opening Performance Vision. Over the past 22+ years, this independent boutique has blossomed into a beloved local destination for comprehensive eye care, beautifully curated frames, and advanced lens technology.

What sets Kelly apart is the perfect blend of artistic style and technical expertise:

• The Frame Matchmaker: Kelly looks past the charts to find the exact frame that captures a patient's unique personality, lifestyle, and facial architecture.
• The Lens Perfectionist: From everyday comfort to high-performance protection, Kelly ensures every lens delivers breathtakingly crisp clarity.
• The Prescription Solver: Thanks to decades of deep relationships with the world's most innovative lens makers, Kelly stays on the cutting edge of optical design. If another clinic has told you a prescription is "too complicated," Kelly is always ready to find a creative solution.

Eye Care with a Personal Touch

For Kelly, running an independent clinic isn't just a business—it's a calling to build lifelong friendships. By greeting every patient one-to-one, Kelly takes the time to truly understand how they live, work, and look at the world. The goal is always the same: ensuring everyone walks out the door feeling infinitely more confident, perfectly cared for, and wearing the best glasses they've ever owned.

Kelly's mission has been beautifully clear for over two decades: providing Vancouverites with the spectacular vision they need to appreciate the true beauty of our surroundings.

With a love for great frames and even better style, Angela's all about helping patients find glasses that fit them effortlessly.

With half a decade of experience in the retail world and approaching her third year in the ophthalmic industry, she brings a unique combination of customer experience, fashion, and eye-care knowledge to her role. Her passion and creativity quickly stood out, and within just a year, she stepped into the role of Chief Marketing Officer.

But for her, marketing isn't simply about showcasing the office, its incredible staff or even the latest frames. It's about showcasing the people who make the practice what it is — the patients. She believes that behind every pair of glasses is a person, a story, and a reason to celebrate their individuality.

Whether it's bold, classic, quirky, or seriously chic, she knows the right pair can change the whole look. Her mission? Make choosing glasses fun, finding your style easy, and sending every patient home looking fabulous and seeing even better.

And perhaps her biggest secret? She has a natural ability to make people feel comfortable, welcomed, and like they've known her for years. For her, the best part of the job isn't just the frames — it's the people wearing them.

Chief Wagging Officer

And then there's Lily, her adorable Cockapoo and unofficial office greeter. Lily has made quite the name for herself with patients and staff, earning the nickname "Wiggles" — and for very good reason. She has a very enthusiastic way of saying hello, usually involving an entire-body wiggle, a lot of excitement, and absolutely no concept of personal space.

Lily firmly believes that every patient deserves a proper welcome, and she takes her greeting duties very seriously. Some might say she's the loudest member of the marketing team… and honestly, they wouldn't be wrong.
