Following graduation, he moved to beautiful Vancouver Island, where he continues to serve the eye care needs of the Cowichan Valley. Trevor is also an active member of the Third World Eye Care Society and has participated with other professionals to improve the vision of the less fortunate.

Dr. Ford is passionate about creating a memorable eye care experience for all patients.

She was influenced to attend Pacific University College of Optometry because her mother had a very high prescription and always said she was “legally blind”.  Dr. Ford learned how to explain terms like these and others to patients so they can understand them.

She travelled to Chattanooga, TN where she was trained at OMNI eye specialists in co-managing cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration,  corneal transplants, LASIK, and other surgical procedures.  She did her thesis work in Orthokeratology and has an interest in contact lenses and dry eye management.

After owning practices in Colorado and Alberta with her husband, they have relocated to Vancouver Island with their two children to enjoy more months outside in this beautiful climate with wonderful people.

Continuing the foundations of comprehensive eye care for the whole family Dr. Ford is now accepting new patients at our Westhills and Cobble Hill locations.
