Tutt Street Optometry Clinic originated in 1987 with Dr. John Kemp and Dr. Grant Goods. Along with Ophthalmologist Dr. Frank DeFreitas, they built the building which is known as Kelowna Eye Care Centre. Their dream was to be able to provide a wide range of eye care services under one roof.

The clinic grew gradually and Dr. Louise Myshak joined the practice in 1988. Dr. Greg Wallace joined the practice in 1991, with Dr. Good leaving to devote his full attention to his practice in Summerland. Drs. Stacey and David Grimes joined the practice in 1993 and 1995 respectively.

The practice continues to grow, and in August, 2008, Dr. Kimberly Bernot (formerly Smith) and Dr. Patricia Rychjohn joined the practice.

The building provides comprehensive eye care, with Tutt Street Optometry providing a full range of optometric services including eye examinations and contact lens services. Okanagan Optical Company (Opticians) provides eye glass dispensing (including an on-premises edging lab). Dr. Jeff Chambers (Ophthalmologist) provides ophthalmic services, and Kelowna Laser Vision Clinic performs refractive surgery (PRK and Lasik).

Each of the entities in the building complement each other in order to provide complete eye care under one roof.
