Hi! 👋 I’m Dr. Catherine Kim, the optometrist 😎. I specialize in custom contact lens fittings including scleral lenses and dry eye treatments as well as comprehensive eye care. After my residency in corneal diseases & specialty contact lens treatments, I worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA while my husband was doing his post-doctoral fellowship at Los Alamos National Lab.

We moved back to our hometown, Toronto in 2004 and I worked with fellow ophthalmologists and optometrists in Yorkville, downtown Toronto. Opening my own clinic in my Leslieville neighbourhood in July 2015, was a dream come true. ⁣I love being the local eye doctor and getting to know our patients and their families. We love to support local activities, schools and sport teams. I am so grateful to be a part of healing and caring for our patients.

University of Toronto M.Sc.
New England College of Optometry, Doctor of Optometry 2001 with Honours,

🌼 May is Healthy Vision Month, making it the perfect time to prioritize your eye health with a comprehensive eye exam. Regular eye exams are essential for detecting vision problems and eye diseases early, even before symptoms appear. By scheduling your exam in May, you’re taking a proactive step toward maintaining clear vision and protecting your overall health, as some conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can also be detected through an eye exam.
