About the Author

Dr. Elash was born and raised in Saskatoon. After completing her three-year Bachelor of Science degree in anatomy and cell biology at the University of Saskatchewan (with great distinction) she moved to Waterloo, ON for optometry school. She graduated from the Doctor of Optometry program (with honours) at the University of Waterloo in 2014. Among other recognitions during her training, Dr. Elash was the recipient of two general proficiency awards for academic achievement.

As part of her training, Dr. Elash was fortunate to complete an internship at the Jack C. Montgomery Veteran Affairs Medical Centre in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Here she gained extensive training and hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating ocular disease in the geriatric population. Dr. Elash is also passionate about doing pediatric eye exams and has traveled with Dr. Kennedy to Île-à-la-Crosse and La Ronge to provide eye exams for children in these areas.

When Dr. Elash is not taking care of your vision needs, you can find her enjoying all the great local businesses and events the Broadway area of Saskatoon has to offer with her family – she lives in the core! She is an avid baker, and often works on trying to master her grandma’s famous family recipes. Dr. Elash currently sits on various boards, including the Board of Examiners with the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists. She also volunteers with SCAT and loves all things cat related.

Dr. Elash joins The Eye Studio as a new partner. She has 10 years of experience working in the city and previously owned a non-dispensing clinic, Optic Eye Clinic, in downtown Saskatoon. In joining The Eye Studio Dr. Elash is most excited to practice alongside a group of optometrists who value the same practice mentality as her – exceptional eye care with a focus on meeting your individual needs and goals. She is excited to welcome all patients (new and returning!) to see what The Eye Studio has to offer.
