Dr. Sherman Tung’s name is familiar to many Kerrisdale residents; he is a respected and highly accredited optometrist who has worked in the neighbourhood for ten years. Dr. Tung is the owner of Eyelab, an optometry clinic that is breaking new ground in the areas of myopia management and vision therapy—there is nothing like it in Vancouver. Eyelab opened in February 2020 on West 41st Avenue near Balsam Street. The office offers specialized pediatric eye care, although they also see all ages for family eye care needs. Eyelab’s patients have responded enthusiastically to the bright and spacious modern space that contains the newest technology. State of the art equipment is used to diagnose and detect ocular diseases at an earlier stage and improve the prognosis. 8
“We pride ourselves on our equipment and expertise.” Dr. Tung says, “In my previous practice we invested in technology like retinal cameras to help diagnose diseases better. We used the latest technology and equipment to keep track of information and share it quickly. As time progressed I saw an opportunity to use technology in an extraordinary way to focus on myopia management and vision therapy. This area fascinates me, and my associates Dr. Melody Tong, Dr. Elisa Xiao. We have taken our expertise to the next level. We want to be the forefront leaders of myopia management and vision therapy.”
