Dr. Raymond Chow is from Vancouver, BC and attended the University of British Columbia Science Faculty before attending the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science, where he obtained his Doctorate. He volunteered in Northern Ontario during this time and upon graduating worked at the Sault St. Marie Hospital Clinic before returning to his hometown to practice permanently.
Dr. Chow is proud to be an eye care professional, with over 35 years of experience as an optometrist, 20 of which have been spent at his current location in Crosstown, next to Rogers Arena. As a primary care provider, he strongly believes in educating his patients on the importance of eye examinations and screening for the prevention of eye disease. Dr. Chow is dedicated to providing his patients with the most up-to-date technologies and therapies. He co-manages for laser surgery, and specializes in orthokeratology (Ortho-K), which helps to eliminate myopia (near-sightedness) using specialty contact lenses as overnight retainers.
In his spare time, Dr. Chow enjoys golfing, hiking, snowboarding and tennis. He is also an avid fan of football and hockey—especially if the Vancouver Canucks are playing.
