Meet the Doctor

Dr. Nicole Chau graduated from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry. She also has an undergraduate degree in health sciences from McMaster University with a minor in economics.

During her optometric training, Dr. Chau completed rotations through each of the specialty clinics at the University of Waterloo. She also completed a primary care and neuro-optometry externship in Etobicoke, Ontario, as well as an externship in ocular disease and therapeutics in downtown Toronto, where she had the opportunity to practice the co-management of complex eye conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.

Dr. Chau has a keen interest in dry eye disease, specialty contact lenses, and myopia management. She is currently helping with a file review project at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry, which looks at how children who are myopic or at risk of becoming myopic (pre-myopic) are managed in clinical practice across Ontario.

Growing up in Newmarket, Ontario, Dr. Chau is excited to provide full-scope optometric care in the Greater Toronto Area and believes in the importance of patient education. She is a member of the College of Optometrists of Ontario, the Ontario Association of Optometrists, and the Canadian Association of Optometrists. She can speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
