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) and made Kingston "home". Until Bayview Optometry, he worked in centre town at the St. Lawrence Optometry Clinic group practice. He has maintained a general practice with unofficial desire to help special needs patients of all kinds. He is not a low vision, contact lens, binocular vision or other "specialist", but he always tries his best to help these people – if he can’t, he’ll find out who can. Jim is qualified for ophthalmic drug therapy treatment and has been an active examiner in the clinical portion of the CSAO (Canadian Standard Assessment in Optometry) professional entrance examinations. He and his wife, Janice, have two children: James and Erin. Golf, curling, skiing and mountain biking are special leisure interests.
