 Eye Can: A Canadian lens on ophthalmology.  In this series, we’ll examine all aspects of what it means to be an Ophthalmologist in Canada; we’ll speak with leaders in our field about their contributions and life journey; we’ll explore new and emerging techniques and technologies in eye care; and through it all we hope to connect with our community, and have those that listen understand the value of who we are and what we do for our patients.

And we’ll share our experiences as ophthalmologists today and tackle some of challenges we face as healthcare providers.
