My Practice:
I have been practicing optometry in NW Calgary for 25+ years and have to say I have finally found my happy place.
I would like to welcome all my friends and valued patients to join me at Wink Optometry Calgary. This is the professional building near the Foothills Hospital, across the street from Tim Horton's and is on the main floor to the right of Kenron Pharmacy.
Wink is an independently owned office with the best technology in eye care and the loveliest people to help serve you. We offer eye exams for the whole family, glasses and contact lenses, myopia management and traditional and natural therapies for computer eye strain, dry eyes, macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. I have all your eye care / medical records, so we are good to go. I look forward to welcoming you in person at the new office.
Philosophy
I feel that optometry can do a lot more to help our patients prevent and treat eye disease. I am working on an advanced certification in functional medicine with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM.org). Functional Medicine is personalized medicine that looks for the root cause of disease, rather than just treating symptoms. It will help you find the nutritional and biochemical imbalances that are at the cause of your eye and health conditions like macular degeneration (AMD), dry eyes, glaucoma and cataracts. I look forward to sharing what I learn along the way with my patients and newsletter subscribers.
About
I was born in Ottawa and raised in Calgary. I attended the University of Calgary and earned my Optometry degree from the University of Waterloo with honours (Beta Sigma Kappa) in 1986. I have been practicing in Calgary most of the time since then.
I have volunteered on third-world eye care projects and currently manage the eye program at CUPS Calgary, a medical clinic offering free health care to Calgarians who struggle with poverty. I also volunteer with the Canadian Examiners in Optometry (CEO) helping with the National Board Exams for new optometrists.
I am a member of the Ocular Nutrition Society (ONS), the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the Calgary Society of Optometrists (CSO), the Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO) and the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO). In my free time, I enjoy cooking, yoga, hiking, travel and The Work of Byron Katie.
