Our History

The practice was first opened in 1942 by Dr. Brian Barry’s father, Dr. Kenneth Barry. Dr. Pearce joined Dr. Kenneth Barry in 1976 with Dr. Brian Barry joining his father and Dr. Pearce in 1982. Upon her graduation in 1988, Dr. Morland returned to North Bay and began practicing with Dr. B. Barry and Dr. Pearce after Dr. K. Barry’s retirement. The practice was renamed Drs Pearce, Barry, Morland Optometrists. In addition to caring for patients at their North Bay practice, Dr. Barry and Dr. Morland provided local eye care to the Mattawa community travelling there on a weekly basis for over 20 years. In 2022, Dr. Marco Roncone and Dr. Cynthia Warren joined the growing team. Now, as a 5 doctor practice, the office was given its new name Gateway Optometry.

Our team of experienced optometrists are passionate about providing every patient who walks through the door with the highest quality eye care, utilizing the latest technology and techniques, in a personalized and compassionate manner.

In May of 2025, Dr. Pearce formally retired after 49 years in practice. Our other optometrists will continue to provide Dr. Pearce’s patients with the excellent care they have come to expect. We wish him a wonderful retirement.
