Raised in South Surrey, BC, Dr Sean Laycock is a dedicated optometrist skilled in diagnosing and treating complex eye conditions. His practice combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate care, caters to a diverse patient base, and keeps his skills sharp and up-to-date. Dr Laycock earned his Bachelor of Science from UBC, where he also worked for the Eye Bank of BC, assisting with the corneal transplantation program. With profound appreciation, he completed this Doctorate of Optometry from Indiana University, and treasures the invaluable mentorship and rigorous training he received. His love of eye care and travel has led him to remote corners of Central America, where he helped provide vital eye care services in rural communities. At the heart of his practice is a deep respect for the stories and life journeys each patient brings into the exam room. He aims to create a space where people feel genuinely seen and heard. These visits are not just about eyesight, but about perspective, presence, and how we move through our daily lives. And if we can share a laugh between eye drops, even better!

Roman is originally from Ukraine, where he spent over 10 years managing and working in an optical laboratory, gaining deep expertise in lens production and quality control. When war disrupted life in his home country, Roman made the difficult decision to relocate to Canada in search of safety and stability for his family.

He worked there for over two years as both a lab technician and quality control specialist. His personal motto — “Fast and flawless quality” — reflects his commitment to precision and efficiency in every job he undertakes.
