Dr. Angie Dougans obtained her Doctorate of Optometry from Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon in 2010. She grew up in Langley, BC and studied Chemistry at UBC, then worked as a chemist for three years before deciding to become an optometrist. After graduation she worked at a couple of other clinics in the lower mainland before setting up her own. She shares a clinic space with her husband Andrew who is a chiropractor, and this has allowed her to work part-time while balancing family life with two small children.

Dr. Angie Dougans’ specialty is primary care optometry, which means providing thorough eye exams for all ages and conditions. She is happy to see children as young as 6 months old, although age 3-4 is more typical for a first eye exam. Childrens eye checkups are very important as development of the visual system occurs most crucially from birth to around age nine. Eye exams check for not only the glasses prescription, but also diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, blepharitis, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. She also has a good referral relationship with the local ophthalmologists, so that those needing further testing or surgery are referred to the appropriate specialist in a timely manner. We don’t sell glasses at our clinic but do provide a printed glasses prescription; our focus is on contact lenses and eye health.
