Alicia Austin
Optician & Dry Eye Lead
Optician, Enthusiast, Bibliophile, Charcuterie-artist, Cheerleader
The best gifts come in small packages and Alicia's gifts in creating fabulous eyewear and delivering dry eye treatments and advice are second to none!
Alicia joined Ocean in 2015 and has been a key part to its evolution.
Selecting our exclusive eyewear has always been a passion for Alicia. She's enthusiastic about the brands we work with and takes great care in curating the collections.
In 2020, Alicia's role expanded to Dry Eye Technician, which has evolved to Dry Eye Lead. Alicia is motivated by the results achieved through our in-office treatments. She loves sharing her knowledge and mentoring.
In her spare time, Alicia is a director of the board for the Nova Scotia College of Dispensing Opticians. She recently contributed to changes to the national licensing exams for opticians in Canada.
You'll find Alicia with her nose in a book, listening to Country music and sipping on the same coffee she started the day with hours earlier.
Alicia welcomes you to stop by Ocean Optometry anytime and ask her why meibomian glands are like garden hoses.
