Doctor of Optometry

Dr. Shailinder S. Bhullar

Place of Birth: Kitimat, BC

Favourite Food:  Pizza—especially when it’s made with sourdough crust

Experience in Optometry/Opticianry:
With over 10 years of experience in optometry, I have a passion for delivering exceptional eye care and helping patients achieve their best vision. I love working with myopia management patients, dry eyes and specialty contact lens fits, including scleral lenes. I'm dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of eye care innovations to provide tailored solutions for every patient.

What Do You Love About the Eyes:
The eyes are extraordinary—they’re not only a reflection of individual personality but also a gateway to overall health. I love how much we can learn about a person’s well-being through their eyes, and being able to improve someone’s quality of life by enhancing their vision is deeply rewarding.

Fear You Have Overcome in the Last 10 Years:
Over the past decade, I’ve overcome many fears, including public speaking and embracing more leadership roles.. This journey has been a testament to the power of persistence, growth, and stepping outside my comfort zone.

Why You Love Working at Look Optometry:
Look Optometry is more than just a workplace for me. It's a community that prioritizes patient care, fosters innovation, and creates a warm and welcoming environment. Helping people see the world more clearly while building lasting relationships with patients is what makes working here truly fulfilling.

Dr. Preetpal (Sunny) Saggu

Place of Birth: Born and raised in Surrey BC

Favourite Food: Pizza. More specifically homemade pizza. The secret is in the dough.

Hobbies: Hobbies are working out, playing ball hockey and walks/hikes with the family.

Experience in Optometry/Opticinary: My experience with Optometry started when I volunteered with Dr Bhullar in 2009.  I was then hired by the team at Look Optometry and continued to work with Dr Bhullar until going to optometry school in 2011at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. I Graduated in 2015 and moved back to Surrey and began working at Look Optometry and never looked back.

What Do You Love About the Eyes: I love that the eyes tell us so much about us!  Not only are our eyes responsible for vision but there are so many things you can tell about a person from their eyes.  Many health conditions can present with changes to our eyes and in some cases we can be the first to help diagnose certain conditions.

Fear You Have Overcome in the Last 10 Years: I don't know if it's necessarily a fear but the biggest hurdle for me personally in the past 10 years was moving away for optometry school. I had always lived in Surrey since I was born and moving away from home to another Country was definitely challenging but like most things that are difficult in life I feel like I became a better person because of it.  Not only do I feel like I was able to grow academically and professionally by attending optometry school but I definitely had a lot of personal growth and learned to do a lot of new things.

Why You Love Working at Look Optometry: I love the atmosphere that we have created at Look. I feel our team includes individuals who share a similar mission of helping others and spreading positive energy. As a member of the South Asian community I also enjoy the opportunity to be able to provide eye exams in Punjabi to individuals who may have otherwise neglected their eye health without that option.

Place of Birth: Born and raised in Surrey BC

Favourite Food:

Being from Vietnam, I can never say no to a nice bowl of steaming Pho. Give me a nice tasty bowl of noodles, and you have my heart. No, I don’t like rice..

Hobbies:

Cooking is my jam!  Being in the kitchen and striking up something delicious for others to enjoy makes me happy! Returning an empty plate garners all smiles! Having said that, I really enjoy going out to eat and having different culinary experiences.  Mostly, it's about the food; other times, it's about the company you're with, the music that's playing, the atmosphere or quality of the restaurant, or you're travelling in a new city away from home.  To be honest, I love everything about food.

Experience in Optometry/Opticinary:

I can't say that I knew this industry (optometry and eyewear) was where I would end up in. I started working in the industry more than a decade ago and started as an optometric assistant. I was slowly introduced to a wide range of different situations and to all aspects of optometry and eyewear. What really piqued my curiosity and interest was when I learned about all the different types of lenses and frames. I realized how much optometry and eyewear compliment one another and that's when I realized how much I enjoyed this industry. Finding the right lens and glasses frame is a science and an art! I love finding that right balance between the need for clarity and crispness in your lenses so you can see, but also the fit, style, and comfort of the frame so it looks great and wears comfortably. I want people to see great and look even better!

What Do You Love About the Eyes:

I love that a set of eyes can tell many stories and that each set of eyes can see differently from any other. I love the inherent contradiction between the fact that people can literally look at the same thing without truly seeing it the same. Fear You Have Overcome in the Last 10 Years:</strong> I have overcome my fear of spiders. Just kidding, I have a husband I can call for to kill them for me now.

Why You Love Working at Look Optometry:

Because it’s a place you can come to nd genuinely say you’re a part of an amazing establishment. It's as much about the patient experience as it is the quality of the service and the utility of the information. We treat each other like family and you are encouraged to be yourself and push your boundaries, so the opportunity for personal and professional growth is exponential.
