I See Optometry Clinic is a full-service bilingual eyecare optometric practice. We perform thorough and comprehensive eye exams which not only evaluate your vision, but also the health of your entire eye. A thorough eye exam is an important part of taking care of your overall health. An eye exam can sometimes uncover evidence of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension a
nd higher cholesterol. All of our optometrists are trained to diagnose and detect eye problems and diseases which may include conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal problems. Our office is equipped with absolute state of the art diagnostic equipment. We work closely with other surgical and medical professionals. We follow lupus patients on Plaquenil with rheumatologists to monitor for macular toxicity. We monitor diabetic retinopathy and diabetic changes with family practitioner (or nurse practitioners) and endocrinologists. We assess patients post concussion and post stroke. History
Dr. Gaulin Sr. first started a small practice in the market. His son Dr. Jacques Gaulin took over from his father in 1954 approximately. Dr Gaulin Jr., an incredible clinician did not shy away from any complex case. Ever a perfectionist, his incredible attention to details earned him a enviable reputation for solving problems where others had failed. Approaching retirement age, Dr. Gaulin Jr. called the University of Waterloo every spring inquiring about new graduates that could take over his complex clinic. Finally in 1989 a name came up: Josée Martineau. He called the 4th year resident and asked for a meeting. In Ottawa, Josée explained that she came from a small town and that practicing in the market of Ottawa was not first on her list. She reluctantly agreed to try a few days a week at his location for a few months. Well the rest is history! Dr. Martineau absolutely loved practicing with Jacques. The complexity of the cases, and the meticulously maintained charts won her over. The practice was officially transferred to Dr. Martineau in 1990.
