Western Laser Eye Associates & Twenty20 Eyecare

Western Laser Eye Associates founded by Mayo Clinic-trained Dr. Ellen Anderson Penno, has teamed up with Twenty20 Eyecare led by Dr. Regan Nowlan, to create a unique side by side care model—combining ophthalmology (medical and surgical eye care) with optometry (care focused on vision correction and eye health).

Patients can expect more than routine eye exams with the clinic’s collaborative team of specialists and advanced diagnostic technology offering truly comprehensive care.

“Whether you are new to our practice or have been with us for many years, we thrive on providing the best care possible from diagnosis to treatment,” says Dr. Anderson Penno.

This approach means that no matter the reason for visiting the clinic — whether being screened for medical eye conditions, assessed for laser vision correction, or simply updating a glasses prescription — patients can do it all under one roof. They can also explore the clinic’s boutique optical shop and enjoy personal eyewear consultations with licensed opticians.

The team at Western Laser and Twenty20 includes Dr. Nana Boadi, who specializes in pediatric optometry and eye muscle assessments; Dr. Vaneet Kaloti, who offers contact lens solutions for athletes; and Dr. Regan Nowlan, who diagnoses ocular disease and dry eyes.

A key part of the clinic’s service is their access to the newest technology in retinal photography, including an EIDON widefield imaging system that provides unsurpassed image quality and TrueColour views providing the best in retinal diagnostics.

Other state-of-the-art tools include an ocular coherence tomographer, visual field analyzer, and YAG laser, which provide detailed evaluations of the retina and optic nerve to help detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal tears.

Technology is only one part of the equation. Many patients are referred directly to Dr. Anderson Penno by primary care providers or outside optometrists, trusting her expertise in complex diagnostics and treatment planning. Just as importantly, she considers how broader health and lifestyle factors may influence her patients’ eyes, ensuring care that looks beyond symptoms alone.

“A large part of why we continue to practice ophthalmology and optometry is the satisfaction we all feel in providing the best care possible,” says Dr. Anderson Penno. “We have been pleased to have patients trusting our team to care for their eye health for more than 10 or even 15 years.”

Whether it’s helping a patient maintain their quality of life through careful monitoring and early intervention, fine-tuning a prescription so they can continue enjoying their favourite sports, or coordinating timely referrals to subspecialist colleagues, the collaborative teams at Western Laser Eye Associates and Twenty20 Eyecare ensure top quality eye care.
