Optometrists
Dr. James F. Sills, OD
Jim graduated from the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry in 1982. Fate immediately directed him away from his roots in the Ottawa Valley (Renfrew) to Kingston. Prior to Bayview Optometry, he had worked for many years at the St. Lawrence Vision Centre group practice. Though not a contact lens, binocular vision, low vision or other "specialist", he strives to help solve presenting complaints of all sorts – if he can’t, he’ll try to find out who can. Jim is qualified for ophthalmic drug therapy treatment and is an active clinical assessor for OEBC (Optometry Examining Board of Canada). He and his wife, Janice, have two children: James and Erin. Golf, curling, skiing and bicycle activities are special leisure interests.
