The Eye Care Group has been providing premium eye care, optometry and eyewear styling services since 1982.
The Eye Care Group’s client relationships are based on a solid foundation of respect and trust. Our eye examinations are complete and comprehensive with a focus on eye health. The prescriptions for your eyewear are about gaining the most optimal visual acuity and clear vision. The Eye Care Group’s optometrists take time to examine the retina and the back of the eye. Without an eye test you may not be aware of any potential problems. You may see clear but the retina has no nerve endings, therefore no signs of issues or pain, which is a symptom which may otherwise prompt a visit to the eye doctor.
When it comes to frames, we are the leaders in fashion designer eyewear. Bringing in exclusive eyeglass styles from around the world. The Eye Care Group’s three boutiques boast the best selection of frame, lenses and sunglasses brands. The owners attend European and Canadian trade shows to resource stylish eyewear and designer frame lines you won’t find anywhere else in Edmonton or area.
Contact us today. Our friendly and experienced optometry team is ready to provide you with an exceptional eye care experience.
The History of The Eye Care Group: A Family Affair
Over 35 years ago, optometrist Dr. Sandy Koppe had a vision: to create a business that offered the best possible service and the highest quality products with consistency, commitment, and diligence. Together with his wife Kathi, the Koppés have created a business that has stayed true to these values.
Since 2007, Kristiena Bobocel and Kim Jurina, both accomplished and experienced opticians (the daughters of Dr. Sandy and Kathi Koppé), have continued this tradition and expanded the vision their parents started.
The Eye Care Group now boasts three locations, all of which provide exceptional eye care services and an unparalleled selection of designer frames and lenses.

We are hoping to expand this list in the future to make it easier for all of our patients.

Kristiena lives and breathes the optical industry. Not only is it what she’s done since she was 12 years old, but it’s something that she’s also passionate about. Her commitment to the business and to the customers is part of her entrepreneurial DNA. Kristiena’s focus is on operations of the business, taking care of operational efficiency and managing the finances of Eyecare Group, but you’re also just as likely to find Kristiena in any one of our three locations serving customers, supporting staff and always looking for ways to make things better for everyone.
Over the last 30 years of working in the optical industry, Kristiena has garnered the respect of her peers and her patients by providing a thorough professional and friendly experience. In addition to being a licensed optician, Kristiena has also extended her lifelong educational journey to include certifications in business, nutrition as well as being a certified in aesthetics.
When Kristiena is not focussing on the business, she’s caring for her family that includes her lucky husband, their two amazing daughters, and their forever 2-year old (140 pound bullmastiff, Nixon). While Kristiena loves spending time with her family, she also likes to escape to the gym to sneak in a good workout, a facial or a deep massage…she believes that in order to look after others, she also has to look after herself!
Kristiena is looking forward to welcoming you to Eyecare Group so that you and your family enjoy good eye health combined with a fashion-forward look!
Since 2007, Kim Jurina, in partnership with her sister Kristiena, has been managing the Eye Care Group, Whyte Avenue location.
Since the eye care business was always a vital part of Kim’s childhood, it was her parents’ wish that she and Kristiena would one day take over the practice. This, in combination with her passion for vision care, motivated Kim to become a licensed optician and continue her parents’ legacy.
Like her parents and sister, Kim believes in the importance of providing the best eye care service possible combined with high-quality products.
EyeCare Group St. Albert’s newest team member, Brittany, is a natural fit for our practice. Extremely knowledgeable in optics and passionate about her work, we’re so excited for what she brings to our community. Some of you have already met Brittany, and she’s told us how much she enjoys working with our loyal St. Albert clientele. If you haven’t been to the store lately, make some time to pop in and say hello, get to know her, and maybe even get your glasses adjusted!
