Our History
Scott’s father Roy Coburn was Guelph’s first optician when he came to Guelph in 1940. For over 40 years Scott has been helping people look great and see better. He first opened Scott Coburn Optical in the fall of 1994. In the spring of 2000 we moved to our present location at 123 Wyndham Street North. It’s a larger space as to offer our clients the addition of eye examinations and optometric services.

Our Advice
Why get my eyes examined? I can see okay and nothing hurts.
Regular eye examinations by a qualified eyecare professional are important because your eyes don’t hurt when something is wrong. An eye examination is a vital health check for your eyes that can detect early signs of eye conditions before you’re aware of any symptoms-many of which can be treated if found early enough. Some health conditions that affect your eyes are;
- diabetes
- glaucoma
- macular degeneration
- cataracts
