Bonnie

Bonnie is a Medical Office Assistant that our patients really like.  Her personality is well suited to helping our patients.  She came for an eye exam one day and was hired instantly.  She began working with Dr. Boyd in 2001 and is currently the surgical coordinator, bookkeeper who is also involved with the marketing and management of the surgical centre.  She is very knowledgeable about the procedures at BoydVision and will be happy to answer any of your questions.

She is also trained to work in the surgical room, working with patients for their pre and post operative care. She also has a Medical Device Reprocessing certificate.

Sara started working at BoydVision in summer of 2020. She comes from a surgical centre in Alberta and (they expressed their sadness in losing her) but gave us their highest regard for her professionalism and work ethic. She has trained and worked from the front office, to technician and testing and then to become the lead staff and laser safety officer in the operating room. She is also one of our Medical Device Reprocessing staff. She shares her knowledge with patients at their initial consult and discusses the best options for correcting their vision. We admire her desire to continue to study and gain more knowledge to benefit the efficiency of BoydVision.

Heather

Heather has been working part time for many years while she was in high school and during her university years.  Now she has a degree and has decided to work full time. We have known Heather since she was very young as her mother, Candy, also works here for over 24 years. She has become an important part of our office, helping with all aspects from reception to the surgical suite.

In September 2020, Heather had PRK surgery to improve her vision and can give you firsthand knowledge of her experience. She continues to study and make herself more knowledgeable about Ophthalmology to the benefit of our office. We are happy she has joined the BoydVision team/family.

Top 8 Reasons To Choose Us

1. Simple price structures for sensible choices.

BoydVision offers competitive and simple price structures for laser vision correction. Without additional fees, each price structure offers a unique package covering individual’s choice and eye care needs, without additional fees.

  • No tax
  • Simple price structures fit individual’s eye care needs
  • Price established after free laser consultation
  • Customized Blended Vision Correction available

2. Cataract surgery at BoydVision’s surgical center.

BoydVision’s surgical facility offers a wider range of eye care services ranging from laser vision correction to cataract surgery and lens exchange. Once the initial consultation is completed, cataract surgery and lens exchange can be performed at BoydVision’s surgical facility in a relatively short period of time.  Without the delay of public care waiting lists, you can get back to your active and mobile lifestyle whenever you are ready.

3. Your surgeon works with you throughout the eyecare process.

Most clinics use technicians as the primary eyecare professional dealing with the patient, especially with pre- and postoperative care. Laser eye surgery at BoydVision involves eyecare with Dr Boyd throughout the process. Laser vision correction is safe with minimal risk, but Dr Boyd remains actively involved in all steps to ensure the best eyecare possible.

4. Custom treatment to minimize side effects.

Custom Laser Vision correction (wavefront-optimized topography-based treatment) is premium technology – enhancing the quality of your results and minimizing the potential for glare and night vision side effects. However, BoydVision’s price is equal to or lower than most other laser clinics’ conventional price. BoydVision offers custom LASIK and custom PRK – which are superior to their standard counterparts.

5. You can say ‘goodbye’ to your reading glasses.

We offer Laser Blended Vision to help patients over 40 to say goodbye to their reading glasses. BoydVision now offers Laser Blended Vision treatment, a revolutionary laser technology to counter the effects of aging in the eyes, and significantly reduce the need for reading or progressive bifocal glasses.

6. You can choose to include your existing optometrist in post-op care.

The postoperative care can be shared or delegated to your own eyecare professional—sometimes because of location (out-of-town clients) or preference. We are happy to work with your optometrist to ensure your laser treatment is as effective and convenient as possible.

7. You can choose from multiple surgical solutions.

We offer multiple solutions to meet a wide range of vision care needs. BoydVision offers a variety of surgical options including both laser and ophthalmic surgery. Many patients who have been told they are not suitable for laser eye surgery find that BoydVision offers a procedure that is the right solution for improving their vision.

8. Low cost financing available.

We are pleased to offer financing options through Medicaid. (up to $2400 for laser eye surgery).  The application forms are available at our office, or you may apply directly online at www.medicard.com.  For more information, you can also email info@medicard.com.  The financing must be applied for and approved prior to surgery.
