Educational Background
Dr. Bruce Pretty completed his
undergraduate degree at Acadia University and graduated from
Dalhousie Medical School. Following three years in general
practice, Dr. Pretty returned to Dalhousie to complete his
ophthalmic training.
Refractive Experience
Dr. Pretty opened a private Ophthalmology practice in Halifax in
1978. Having spent many years fitting contact lenses, Dr. Pretty
began performing laser refractive surgery in 1995. At first, he
exclusively performed PRK refractive surgery, but as the hansatome
evolved (flap-making tool used during the procedure), he also began
performing LASIK surgeries.
Today, LASIK eye surgery is his treatment of choice for patients
who are appropriate candidates for the procedure. To date, Dr.
Pretty has performed thousands of refractive procedures in both
Nova Scotia and Ontario.
Accomplishments and Awards
Dr. Pretty continues to lecture at Dalhousie Medical School. His
personal hobbies include flying a twin-engine Piper, fishing,
hunting and traveling.
