My name is Tony Turin and I was born and raised in Welches, Oregon, and graduated from Sandy High School in 2002. After high school, I completed a Bachelors’s degree and a Doctorate degree in Optometry from Pacific University. Shortly after graduating in 2010, I was directly commissioned as a Captain in the US Army. Most of my military commitment was spent working at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. During this time, I worked as the Chief of Optometry at Womack Army Medical Clinic, I covered on-call in the emergency department, and I evaluated more patients than any Optometrist in the area. In 2013, I became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, something only ten percent of optometrists achieve. I have also gone on to complete my Masters in Business Administration. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 14 years and have two amazing kids. I am still so excited to be back in my hometown and serving the people of the Mt. Hood area! Please make us your hometown choice for all your vision and eye care needs.

After graduating salutatorian from Templeton High School in 1987, Catherine started her career as an Optician in 1989 at a private optometric practice in California where she grew up. She enjoyed learning all aspects of the office, from patient welcoming, to the technician, to running the In-house lab where they would do their own edging of lenses.

In 1992, she and her husband moved to Montana where she spent some time working in a full-scale, nationwide optical laboratory. She feels her experience in both the office and laboratory gives her a well-rounded array of knowledge that helps her as an optician. While in Montana, Catherine became certified with the American Board of Opticianry.

Moving to Oregon in 1999, Catherine has since worked as an optician at two other offices in the Portland area, as well as another nationwide full-service lab as their final inspector.

Joining the Mt Hood Eye Care team in 2017, and enjoys being in a smaller, family-oriented office best. She truly enjoys giving our patients quality eyewear education throughout their ordering experience, so that each patient can make a well-informed decision on their eyewear investment to receive the best vision possible. We are happy now to have all of Catherine’s experience as she manages the Sandy location and is a managing consultant to our other offices. Catherine really enjoys the challenge of adjusting misshaped glasses, so don’t think it’s hopeless until you bring her the challenge of repairing it!
