Dr. Kent Prete
Dr. Kent Prete graduated from the University of Waterloo with honours in 1997 at which time he was awarded the Vistakon award for clinical contact lens excellence.

He has been with Calgary Optometry Centre since his graduation and splits his time between the Avenida and Downtown locations. He became a partner in 1999 and enjoys the challenges of business ownership.
He also enjoys getting to know his smallest patients. He loves kids. He has four young children of his own at home to play with but he likes to have fun at work too, and his pediatric patients brighten his day. He has a strong family practice emphasizing proper visual development which he recognizes as an educational necessity. Improvement of the quality of life of these young patients rank as his most cherished professional accomplishments.
If you want to talk about sports, Dr Prete is the perfect Optometrist for you, having passionately pursued a wide range of athletic opportunities. He is enthusiastic about getting to know his patients interests and helping them perform and enjoy sports to their fullest potential, whether it be through contact lens and specialty spectacle use or preventing ocular health issues.

Dr. Jean Shen
Dr. Jean Shen graduated from the University of Waterloo with her Doctor of Optometry (with Honours) in 1999. Her externship was at the Vitreoretinal Foundation in Memphis, TN which specialized in diagnosis, treatment and surgery for ocular disease. Following graduation, Dr. Shen practiced in Vancouver before relocating to Calgary in 2000. She performed pre and postoperative care at a laser eye clinic, before joining Calgary Optometry Centre in 2002. The valuable experience she has gained in refractive eye surgery can benefit those patients who are considering laser surgery.
Throughout her optometric career, Dr. Shen has spent extensive time volunteering in developing countries. In 2004, she organized and led a team of volunteers to provide eye care and vision aids to several orphanages in remote areas of Thailand and the borders of Myanmar. These experiences have been extremely rewarding as they combine both her love of pediatric optometry and her love of travel. In her spare time, Dr. Shen also enjoys hiking, snowboarding and spending time with her dog.
Dr. Shen has special interests in nutrition, contact lens fitting and dry eye therapy. However, she welcomes all patients and looks forward to developing a tailored approach to meeting your vision care needs for your lifestyle, occupation and hobbies.
