At Maple Ridge Eye Care, our friendly optician team of seven are ready to meet your every eye care and eye exam need. Our optician team is focused on serving you. Our team of three frame consultants, Janice, Paul, and Helen bring decades of experience in frame and lens selection to help you both look and see better. Janice also works as the Office manager and Paul as the Contact Lens and Optical Lab manager. In the Patient Care department, Robin and Denise will greet you and ensure your eye exam appointment proceeds smoothly. In addition to our optician team, Maple Ridge Eye Care's front office staff perform several valuable eye exam tests prior to you seeing the doctor. These include eye pressure measurements in helping to detect glaucoma, a visual field screening exam, corneal assessments for contact lens fittings and digital retinal photography to aid in assessing eye health.
