Roslyn Howell, OD
Dr. Roslyn Howell’s experience makes her an ideal fit to lead Cascadia Eye’s Dry Eye Care Center. She has a high level of expertise treating dry eye and ocular disease, as well as focused study in advanced OptiLIGHT and OptiLIFT treatments that target specific root causes of dry eye. Using the full array of Cascadia Eye’s advanced dry eye therapies, she identifies why patients’ eyes are uncomfortable, treats the medical cause, allowing patients better long-term eye comfort and clearer vision.
Dr. Howell received her Doctor of Optometry degree (OD), with honors, from Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, OR, in 2013. She completed her residency at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma, concentrating on ocular disease but with experience in all of the various facets of optometry. At that time, Dr. Howell also had responsibility for emergency room (ER) calls from Cherokee Nation Hastings Hospital every month. Previously, she completed an ocular disease rotation at Spokane Veterans Affairs, gaining experience in geriatric care, particularly macular generation, glaucoma, and diabetic care. Dr. Howell was awarded the VSP Scholarship for Excellence in Primary Care in 2013, and she was a member of the optometric honors society throughout her optometry education.
Dr. Howell is especially well-regarded by our patients and our staff. In addition to her dry eye practice, she delivers a full range of services: managing ocular disease, providing routine eye exams and medical evaluations, and fitting soft, gas-permeable, and specialty contact lenses (including teaching contact lens fitting to optometric students).
Family and Personal Passions
Originally from Victoria, BC, Dr. Howell enjoys hiking and skiing in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and her two children. She participates in optometry humanitarian missions, and has visited Ghana and Thailand through VOSH and Unite for Sight as part of her lifetime commitment to service.
