Victoria, Canada (PRUnderground) August 29th, 2026
For the sixth consecutive year, Dr. Anita Narang of Island Eyecare has been recognized by ThreeBestRated® as one of Victoria's Top 3 Optometrists.
While the recognition reflects years of patient care and clinical excellence, Dr. Narang and the Island Eyecare team are increasingly focused on something much larger: building an advanced eye treatment centre designed to go beyond traditional optometry and address chronic conditions that can significantly affect a patient's quality of life.
Moving Beyond Traditional Eye Care
For more than 16 years, Dr. Narang has cared for patients with a wide range of vision and eye health concerns. Over time, her clinical focus has increasingly expanded into the diagnosis and treatment of conditions where traditional approaches may not provide patients with the long-term improvement they are looking for.
One of the largest areas of focus has been dry eye disease and ocular surface disease.
Rather than simply recommending temporary symptom relief, Dr. Narang's approach is centered on identifying the underlying contributors to a patient's condition and developing an individualized treatment strategy.
That philosophy has led Island Eyecare to invest heavily in advanced diagnostics, treatment technology, staff training, and treatment protocols specifically designed for patients suffering from chronic dry eye.
Recognized as a Leader in Dry Eye Treatment
Island Eyecare's work in dry eye treatment has also received recognition from within the medical technology industry.
The clinic was recently presented with a 10,000 patients treated recognition trophy from InMode, recognizing Island Eyecare's leadership and achievements in dry eye treatment using advanced technology.
For Dr. Narang, the recognition represents more than treatment volume. It reflects the clinic's continued commitment to developing a comprehensive model where diagnosis, treatment, patient education and long-term management work together.
The goal is not simply to manage dry eye symptoms. It is to continue improving how chronic ocular surface disease is identified, treated and monitored over time.
Expanding Into Advanced AMD Treatment
That same treatment-focused philosophy is now expanding into other areas of eye care.
Island Eyecare has introduced advanced treatment options for patients with age-related macular degeneration, including technology designed to support patients living with dry AMD.
Age-related macular degeneration is one of the conditions Dr. Narang believes will increasingly require optometry clinics to evolve beyond diagnosis and monitoring alone.
By bringing new treatment technologies into the practice, Island Eyecare is working toward a model where patients can receive advanced diagnostics, ongoing monitoring and treatment within the same clinical environment.
The Next Frontier: Understanding Blink Mechanics
Another area Island Eyecare is actively developing is the assessment and treatment of blink mechanics.
Blinking plays an important role in ocular surface health, tear-film distribution and meibomian gland function. Abnormal or incomplete blinking can contribute to chronic dry eye symptoms, yet blink mechanics have historically been difficult to measure objectively in routine clinical practice.
Island Eyecare is currently exploring new technologies capable of providing more objective information about blink quality and blink mechanics.
The goal is to add another layer of measurable clinical information that can help Dr. Narang and her team better understand why some patients continue experiencing symptoms despite conventional treatment.
As new diagnostic and treatment technologies become available, the clinic intends to continue expanding its capabilities in this area.
Building an Eye Treatment Centre for the Future
The evolution of Island Eyecare reflects Dr. Narang's broader vision for the profession.
Traditional optometry will always remain an important part of the clinic, including comprehensive eye examinations, preventive care and the diagnosis of eye disease. But the future of the practice is increasingly focused on advanced treatment.
>> Dry eye disease
>> Ocular surface disease
>> Age-related macular degeneration
>> Blink mechanics
>> Advanced diagnostic imaging.
And emerging technologies that allow optometrists to do more for patients after a condition has been identified.
Dr. Narang believes patients should not simply be told what condition they have. Whenever clinically appropriate, they should also have access to meaningful treatment options and a clear plan for managing their condition over the long term.
Six Years of Recognition, With the Focus on What Comes Next
Being selected as one of Victoria's Top 3 Optometrists by ThreeBestRated® for six consecutive years is an important milestone for Dr. Narang and the Island Eyecare team. However, their focus remains firmly on what comes next.
By continuing to invest in dry eye treatment, AMD care, advanced diagnostics, blink mechanics technology, and emerging treatment options, Island Eyecare is evolving from a traditional optometry clinic into a comprehensive eye treatment centre.
For Dr. Narang, that evolution is ultimately about giving patients more options, more information, more advanced treatment, and a better understanding of what can be done to protect their vision and improve their quality of life. To get in touch with her, visit https://island-eyecare.ca/about/
