Dr. Sophia Leung is from Saskatchewan originally, graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2014, and entered private practice in Alberta afterwards. Enjoying ocular disease so much, Dr. Leung stepped away from private practice and is currently the Ocular Disease and Refractive Surgery resident with Oklahoma Medical Eye Group, a secondary and tertiary referral and surgical center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dr. Leung has also been involved with the Alberta Association of Optometrists as a Council Member and CE Committee Chair since 2015. She hopes to be helpful in the advancement of optometry in Canada upon her return, in whatever way she can! In the meantime, Dr. Leung has enjoyed sharing her learnings through poster presentations, lectures, educational video series, and publications; both online and in print. Dr. Leung is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry.
