Violet Eyes Optometry was founded in 2013 in Lloydminster, AB by Dr. Christy Mushtaler and Dr. Jessica Lawrence. Following an expansion and new building in 2015, Dr. Danielle Guenet joined the practice in 2018. They pride themselves in delivering patient-centred care, offering the most comprehensive eye exams to detect and treat eye disease as soon as possible.

In 2023, they were awarded the Women in Business and Business of the Year awards at the Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. As of 2025, they expanded to offering specialty in office dry eye treatments, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF).
