Made in Canada
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.
As we continue to grow, our roots will always be firmly planted in Canadian soil. And we think that’s something to be incredibly proud of.
Our core mission is to provide the highest-quality eye care to our patients. You and your family’s visual needs are our top priority and it shows in everything we do. We are passionate about using current examination techniques and technology to provide complete eye care services, including:
- Comprehensive eye examinations
- Children’s and Senior’s eye examinations
- Digital retinal scan analysis and photography
- Contact lens fittings
- Surgical co-management
- Management of ocular disease conditions
- Extensive optical dispensary
