Sea to Sky Optometry – Mindy Blumberg
Our April Meet the Members features a much needed business in the Pemberton Valley, Sea to Sky Optometry. Local residents no longer have to drive to Whistler for eye care. Mindy Blumberg, Optometrist, is available to perform eye exams and vision tests, to prescribe and dispense corrective lenses, detect eye abnormalities and can prescribe medications for eye issues. In addition to the clinic in Pemberton, Sea to Sky Optometry offers mobile clinics to the Lil’wat Nation and other Statyemc Communities.
