Your eyes are always changing. Structures of your eyes change with age, functionality gets altered, and vision might get affected as a result. Some of these issues might go unnoticed. Regular eye exams allow us to carefully evaluate the overall structure, health and functionality of your eyes; both inside and out. 

During a complete eye exam, our Vancouver Eye Doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses, but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health. 

About your Doctor

 Dr. Nurudin Ahmed has been practicing optometry for well over three decades. After completing his undergraduate degree in London, England he moved to Canada where he graduated with a Masters in Physiological Optics and a Doctor of Optometry from the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Ahmed's passion for optometry has led him to volunteer globally for the past 25 years. He has provided vision care in the Philippines and acted as a consultant for University Hospitals in East Africa and other Countries.

Locally, Dr. Ahmed has opened multiple optometric practices and operates a mobile clinic for First Nations across British Columbia. 

“Our experienced and friendly staff look forward to serving you! Come and visit your optometrist in Kitsilano.”

At our practice, we believe that exceptional eye care should be accessible to everyone. That’s why Dr. Ahmed goes above and beyond for all our adult and senior patients by providing a comprehensive 3D scan of the retina during every eye exam—at no extra cost.

Why Choose 3D Retina Scanning?

Retina scans offer a detailed view of the back of your eye, allowing Dr. Ahmed to detect potential issues early, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. This advanced technology ensures that we catch problems before they escalate, protecting your vision and overall eye health.

We strive to provide everything under one roof. Check out our fabulous collection of beautiful frames and our experienced Opticians would love to help you select the perfect pair of eyeglasses and lenses suited for your prescription and needs.

An estimated 5 billion people could be affected by myopia by 2050.

Annual myopia progression rate is most rapid under 10 years of age. If left untreated, myopia can lead to lasting vision problems.

We do special Myopia Control Lenses that help slow the progression of Myopia.

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES or dry eye) is a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Its consequences range from minor irritation to the inability to wear contact lenses and an increased risk of corneal inflammation and eye infections.  Our Optometrist will help you manage Dry Eyes.
