Biography
Originally from Cold Lake, Alberta, Dr. Schamber received his Doctor of Optometry degree with honours from the University of Waterloo in 1997 after which he completed a residency in ocular disease and surgical co-management at world renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. He spent one year as a staff optometrist at The Eye Institute in New Port Richey, Florida before returning to Canada to open Vista Eyecare in 2003. Dr. Schamber has lectured for the Canadian Diabetes Association regarding the effects of diabetes on the eye, to family physicians on emergency eye care, and to ophthalmology residents about contact lens fitting and assessment. He was the chair of the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists' Continuing Education committee for nearly 10 years, and also served on its Practice Appraisal committee. He has been recognized by Bausch & Lomb for excellence in the field of contact lenses, and maintains a special interest in ocular disease and surgical co-management. Dr. Schamber is married to Dr. Nadia Lypka, also an optometrist in Saskatoon, and has two sons, Andrew and Luke. He is a fan of soccer, snowboarding, water sports, and good coffee. When not at the office he can often be found at the SaskTel Sports Centre or the Saskatoon Field House watching his boys’ activities.
