A Storied History of Quality Eye Care

Spectrum Eyecare & Eyewear can trace its origins back to optometrist Waldren Maxwell in 1897. The practice was started in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, and moved to Fredericton in 1911.

Though we’ve changed hands a few times in the last 120+ years, we’re still going strong, providing outstanding eye care and services to our communities in Fredericton and Minto.

At Spectrum Eyecare, we believe giving back is important. We donate to Optometry Giving Sight yearly.

We’ve also given to various other charities over the years.

Our History

We’re proud to be continuing a history of more than 100 years of quality eye care in New Brunswick. Our founder, Waldren Maxwell, was the first man in New Brunswick to devote himself solely to the practice of optometry when he opened his practice in 1897. In 1926, his son Warren joined the practice, turning it into the family business.

In the many years since, we’ve been home to outstanding optometrists, opticians, and support staff. Meet the people who are delivering your eye care today.
