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.

Dr. Elizabeth A. German, OD
Beth was raised a Kingstonian and has practiced in the Kingston area since her graduation from UW, Optometry in 1997. Prior to receiving the O.D. degree, she also earned a BSc in Biochemistry (UW). As an optometrist, she initially worked with St. Lawrence Vision Centre before establishing her own solo practice in Amherstview in 2002. Beth is qualified for ophthalmic therapeutic drug practice and has been an active associate optometrist with Focus Eye Centre. She has also volunteered as a regular CSAO clinical examiner. Beth is married to Jake and they have two fiery young boys, Tiernan and Nolan. As you might expect, children currently keep her quite busy but golf and exercise remain favourite escapes.
