This location will be open until late 2026 while the Waterloo Eye Institute is under construction. Our downtown Kitchener location (Health Sciences Optometry Clinic) remains open with no change to service.

Congratulations to Tonya DelSontro, Rodney Smith, and Lyndon Jones, this year’s recipients of the Excellence in Science Research Awards.
Since 2021, the Excellence in Science Research Awards have recognized outstanding research accomplishments by Science faculty members. Each year, three researchers from across the Faculty of Science are celebrated: one tenure-track faculty, one mid-career tenured faculty (up to 10 years post-tenure), and one senior-career tenured faculty (more than 10 years post-tenure).
These awards draw attention to the research area of each recipient, recognize excellence at Waterloo, and strengthen subsequent nominations for external research awards.
