was fortunate to have trained and studied laser eye surgery with
Dr. Howard Gimbel, one of the world leaders in ophthalmology.

experienced team strives to give patients the expert care and
service they deserve. "I have always valued being able to offer my
patients the best care, with the best technology, and I am proud to
be able to provide this service at this clinic. We are dedicated to
advancing the field of refractive surgery, which will lead to
continued excellence in surgical outcomes for patients." Doctor
Bains has also performed thousands of Zyoptix wavefront
procedures.
In addition to his role as medical director, Dr. Richard Bains is
currently assistant professor of ophthalmology at the University of
Western Ontario in London, Ontario. He maintains an active practice
and excels at teaching surgical skills to
