Robin Simpson, OD

Dr. Simpson grew up in Vancouver where his father was a well-known Ophthalmologist or eye surgeon. He attended high school at University Hill and Lord Bing Secondary. He attended UVIC, UBC, Pacific University and the University of Waterloo, where he completed his Doctorate of Optometry.

Dr. Simpson first practiced in and around Prince George, where he provided mobile optometric services to isolated communities. In 1985 he returned to Vancouver and Mount Pleasant Optometry Centre where he specialized in fitting Keratoconic patients in specialty 'RGP' lenses. He also started our Accelerated Orthokeratology (AOK) program for the non-surgical reduction of myopia and was appointed to an international panel of researchers for the FDA study for AOK.

In the community, Dr. Simpson has coached Little League and taught sailing. His lifelong love affair with the sea has lead to three pacific crossings as well as a Caribbean transit and other offshore adventures. Currently he is 'semi-retired' and spends as much time as he can with his family now including 2 grandkids. Dr. Simpson believes strongly in the value of community, and enjoys the long relationship he has with his patients. Indeed, when he does come in to work for us his scheduled days are quickly booked up with his long-term supporters.
