Medico-Aesthetic Treatments\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>Ten years ago, we opened our doors with a simple but strong belief: your eyes deserve more than a routine exam.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Eye Am, a name chosen with purpose. \"I am.\" Because we wanted a clinic built around you.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Since 2016, we've worked to bring eye care, designer frames and medico-aesthetic treatments together under one roof, caring for your eyes in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Four clinics later and thousands of patients cared for, that belief has become our identity: everything for your eyes, all in one place.<\/p>\n\n  <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"\n    class=\"ea-hero-img\"\n    src=\"https:\/\/eye-am.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EA_BLOG_MAI2026_Anniversaire-1.jpg\"\n    alt=\"10th anniversary illustration for Eye Am by Donna Dor\u00e9\"\n    width=\"1200\"\n    height=\"800\"\n    loading=\"eager\"\n  \/>\n  <p class=\"ea-img-caption\">Illustration credit: Donna Dor\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n  <h2>Where We Started<\/h2>\n\n  <p>In 2016, our idea was both simple and ambitious: bring eye care, frames, dry eye treatments and medico-aesthetic services together under one roof.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Simple in theory, but unheard of in Quebec. At the time, each specialty operated on its own: optometry clinics known for quality exams, eyewear stores for their frame selection, and aesthetic clinics for facial treatments.<\/p>\n\n  <p>We chose to bring these worlds together around one concept: the eye, as a whole.<\/p>\n\n  <p>From the start, another decision set us apart: organizing our frames by personality rather than by brand. Because glasses shouldn't be a logo. They should be an expression of who you are.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Today, over 60% of our collections come from independent designers and workshops, carefully curated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <h2>What Sets Us Apart, 10 Years Later<\/h2>\n\n  <p>When people ask what sets Eye Am apart, the answer is straightforward: we don't just correct vision, we care for your eyes as a whole.<\/p>\n\n  <p>In practice, that means ongoing investment in advanced technologies that few clinics offer.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Retinal photography, tomography and meibography can detect several eye conditions well before symptoms appear. At Eye Am, a vision exam is also a full eye health assessment.<\/p>\n\n  <p>We've also developed recognized expertise in dry eye, a condition affecting nearly 30% of the population that remains widely underdiagnosed. Our approach includes a full range of treatments \u2014 LipiFlow, intense pulsed light (IPL), radiofrequency and photobiomodulation \u2014 tailored to each patient's needs.<\/p>\n\n  <p>On the eyewear side, our philosophy stays the same: independent designers and workshops over mass production, for frames that truly reflect your personality.<\/p>\n\n  <p>We've also built an approach around sports vision, working with athletes like cyclist Maghalie Rochette, because we believe optimal performance starts with optimal vision.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Finally, our medico-aesthetic offering came naturally. The eyes, eyelids and the area around them are at the core of our expertise. We simply expanded our scope to care for them fully.<\/p>\n\n\n  <h2>Four Clinics, One Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n  <p>We started with one clinic. Today, we have four, spread across Quebec City and the greater Montreal area.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Each location has its own identity, but the Eye Am experience stays consistent: thorough exams, cutting-edge technology and personalized support in choosing your frames.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"ea-bloc\">\n    <h3>Quebec City<\/h3>\n    <p>Where it all began. Our most complete location for medico-aesthetic treatments, offering an extensive range of skin and eye care services.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"ea-bloc\">\n    <h3>Dorval<\/h3>\n    <p>Serving a predominantly anglophone West Island clientele, with a strong family focus and a relationship of trust built over the years.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"ea-bloc\">\n    <h3>Boucherville<\/h3>\n    <p>Bringing our full range of services to the South Shore.
