Dr. Jackie Albrecht , O.D.

Dr. Jackie Albrecht , O.D.

Dr. Jackie Albrecht examines her patients with the thoroughness and care that she does her own family. In 1990, she graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Optometry degree. She was awarded the Percy Hermant Proficiency Prize, Allergan Contact Lens Award and Academic Excellence in Ocular Pharmacology Award. She has been co-managing laser refractive surgery since 2004.   When she was 21 years of age, she required eye surgery to prevent a retinal detachment and had had absolutely no symptoms.   The need for surgery was detected at a routine eye examination indicating the importance of having your eyes examined regularly.  Dr. Albrecht enjoys seeing patients of all ages for their full eye examinations with special interest in children's eye exams, treating dry eye disease and fitting bifocal contact lenses.
