Dr Zackon is the kind of eye doc who makes you feel like your vision just got a software update. I came in seeing the world like a foggy windshield during a thunderstorm, and he cleared it up with the kind of precision that makes you want to frame your prescription. He’s got this calm, no-nonsense vibe, but still manages to make you laugh while explaining retina stuff like it’s a Netflix plot twist. Ottawa’s lucky—my eyeballs are officially thriving.
