Proudly supporting Canadians from coast to coast.
FYidoctors was founded on the idea that our fellow Canadians deserve to see their very best, with access to the highest in quality care and the most advanced eye care technology. We’ve grown from a small handful of doctors in Western Canada to a national brand of over 250 clinics. We owe that success to our relentless drive to put our patients’ vision first, invest in Canadian technology, support Canadian people and engage with our communities.
Our 500+ doctors and 2800+ team members all live and work in Canada, including at our very own lens manufacturing lab in Delta, BC, where we produce and ship the most technologically advanced digital Internal Freeform lenses for patients across the country. The ability not only to help Canadians see life at its best, but to provide them with rewarding career opportunities too, motivates us every day.

In 1998 she and Paul opened Charlottetown Vision Care on North River Rd. in Charlottetown.
Over her years of caring for Island families, Dr. Judson is honoured to have developed important relationships with her patients who have come to expect competent, compassionate and complete vision assessments that consider the person first. She has a special interest in children’s vision and is thrilled to see her young patients develop as they return year after year.
Dr Judson has been actively involved in her profession, serving on a variety of professional committees including serving as both President of the PEI Association of Optometrists and as Registrar of the Prince Edward Island College of Optometrists.
Dr. Judson has returned to her roots in Alexandra where she lives with Paul, and their daughters Qiao and Ming. She dearly misses her son Marshall, his wife Kristen and her four grandchildren who live in Alberta. When not at work or taking her busy girls to their activities, she enjoys spending family time at the beach and digging around in her garden.
