Born and raised in Edmonton, she earned her undergraduate degree (BSc) in Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta. She then headed south of the border to complete a Doctor of Optometry degree at one of the top optometry schools in America, Salus University.
Through her rotations in the optometry program, Dr. N. Randhawa had the opportunity to develop unique areas of expertise. She completed a Specialty pediatric rotation at The Eye Institute in Philadelphia, PA, where she received honours for her work. Dr. N. Randhawa co-authored a published paper while at a rotation working on cornea/specialty contact lens candidates. In Fairfax, Virginia, Dr. N. Randhawa completed a rotation that focused on glaucoma and cataract patients.
Due to Dr. N. Randhawa’s educational and working background, she has developed a special interest in working with children, as well as those with challenging contact lens fits. However, she is eager to help new patients with any sort of eye and vision challenges. Dr. N. Randhawa is currently accepting referrals for scleral contact lens fittings, a specialty contact lens used to treat a variety of eye conditions.
Fluent in English, French, Punjabi and Hindi, she can communicate with a great variety of patients.
Her non-optometric joys include reading, travelling and spending time with her three kids.
Dr. Noreen Shivji

Dr. Shivji graduated from Salus University, Pennsylvania with a Doctorate in Optometry.

Dr. Shivji is an active member in the Alberta and Canadian Association of Optometrists as well as the Edmonton society of Optometrists. She believes learning is a life long process and is passionate about continuing education to keep up with the latest advancements and technology in Optometry.

Dr. Shivji aims for a healthy work-life balance which allows her to take care of her patients but gives her time to spend with her two beautiful children. She enjoys spending time with her family as much as she does at a spin session or a resistance training class.
