  • Hi, I’m Jason! Since we first opened our doors in 2023, my goal for Innovation Eye Clinic has always been to create a space in Kitchener-Waterloo where eye care is attentive, unhurried, and where you always feel truly heard.

    I believe that the best care comes from a combination of advanced technology and genuine connection. I stay deeply engaged in the evolving science of eye health, specifically in Dry Eye therapy, Myopia Control, and Ortho-K (Orthokeratology), ensuring that my patients benefit from modern, evidence-based treatments.

    At the heart of my practice is a commitment to a thoughtful, elevated approach that prioritizes your unique needs. As an advocate for patient education, I’m always happy to sit down and discuss the 'how' and 'why' of your eye health. I truly value the connections I build with my patients and welcome any questions you may have.

    While I am not at the clinic, you can find me playing pickleball, soccer, or volleyball. I’m also an avid board game fan and love stopping by J&J Collectibles to see what’s new on the shelves. 


  • Hobbies:

    Trading card games, video games, board games, escape rooms, PC building, soccer, disc golf, pickleball

    Favorite KW Restaurants: Mediterraneo, The Poke Box, Ken Sushi House, Kinkaku Izakaya, Myung Ga, 271 West

    Fun Facts:

    I've climbed to the top of Mt. Fuji at 3776m above sea level, and watched the sunrise.

    I have over 100 boardgames in my collection.

    I have experienced living in -40°C in northern Manitoba.

    Hello, I'm Emily and I can't wait to meet you!

    I want you to walk out of our clinic feeling confident and seeing better than ever.

    Prior to optometry, I was a research associate at the University of Guelph. This position allowed me to refine my ability to recognize small changes and subtle details. To me, shopping for frames isn’t just about the style or colour- I look for designs and tones that not only sits nicely on your face, but compliments your features as well. My goal is to ensure you absolutely love your new frames and make your shopping experience painless and enjoyable. So sit back, relax and leave the little details to me!

    Whether you are looking for something that complements your everyday life, are into bold and colourful sunglasses, or want to purchase a pair of handcrafted frames, know that I am dedicated to helping you find your perfect pair. (It’s the best part of my job!)

    In my spare time, I like to sleep, skate and smother my pets with love!

  • Favourite restaurants in KW:

    271 West, Kinkaku izakaya, Blaze Pizza, and Bubble Tea … from anywhere!

    Movies/TV:

    WandaVision, Lucifer and The Mandalorian

  • If I'm not at work or sleeping, you'll find me on the ice working on my jumps and spins! I could figure skate for hours.

    I've taught my cats, Timbit and Maverick, over 12 tricks and they get daily pet puzzles to keep their minds stimulated and out of trouble.

    I have years of experience working in surgery and rehabilitative medicine- for the longest time I wanted to be a vet!

    I was a research associate at the University of Guelph studying Lyme Disease.

We take your eye care to the next level.
