For urban Indigenous people in Ottawa, the barriers to eye
care aren’t about distance—they’re about trust. The Wabano Eye Clinic,
operating within the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, delivers
comprehensive, no-cost primary eye care in a setting patients already know. Led
by Dr. Joshua Smith of Etuaptmumk Eye Care, the clinic uses advanced diagnostic
technology, trains the next generation of eye care professionals, and has built
something rare: a model that is both culturally responsive and financially
sustainable. Optometry Giving Sight (OGS) is proud to support their
work.
