Dr. Munro is the kind of eye doc who makes you feel like your vision just got a motivational speech. I came in seeing the world like it was underwater—blurry, weird, and mildly dramatic—and he calmly brought everything back into focus like he was tuning a vintage radio. Super chill, explained things like a cool science teacher, and didn’t rush a single moment. Ottawa, you’ve got a legend. My eyeballs are now living in high definition and I’m not mad about it.
