It all started back in 1951 when Joe Whylie established Whylie Eye Care. Having grown up with her father and uncle in the optical industry, Lois Copple purchased the business from Joe Whylie in 1970, and over the years, grew the optical business from two to its current nine locations. We’ve helped several thousand customers take good care of their eyes over the years, and we’re proud to continue doing so today.
Convenient and affordable eye exams are the first step in ensuring you see your best.
Independent doctors of optometry at each location offer friendly, professional and thorough eye exams. You’ll walk out of your appointment with a prescription for better sight.

From initial welcome to the very comprehensive eye exam and the help in selecting new glasses, the Whylie team was very impressive. It was recommended from a friend when I said I needed to go to a competitor. "No way, you have to try Whylie!" She couldn't have been more right! Thank you, all!

I have been a customer for 6+ years at Whylie on Ingersoll. Each time I leave with new, stylish frames and excellent customer service. I love walking in the door to people who know my name and my style!
