About Dr. Nguyen

Dr. Diana Nguyen received her Honours Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry at McMaster University and then went to complete her Doctor of Optometry at the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Nguyen went to Northern British Columbia for an externship where she was exposed to acute eye emergencies, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. She also co-managed post-cataract and post-PRK surgeries with ophthalmologists. Her rotation at the University of Waterloo taught her how to manage myopia and fit specialty contact lenses. Dr. Nguyen also trained in Brampton in advanced dry eye disease and glaucoma management. She enjoys practicing full scope optometry with a keen interest in dry eyes and specialty contact lenses.

Dr. Nguyen welcomes patients of all ages and can communicate in Vietnamese.

For those who answered on my Instagram story, my patient had a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) with macular edema and serous detachment. Last week, I was given the opportunity to give my first continuing education talk at the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists (SAO) conference program. Last week, a 15 yo female was referred by her GP due to significant staphylococcal blepharitis. She was suffering for 3 long months trying different medications to alleviate the microbial build-up. Her eczema also worsened the condition as the symptoms of itchiness amplified. Her GP ruled out autoimmune and viral diseases due to the chronicity of the blepharitis. 🤧 Allergy season is here, but help is on the way! Zaspray is a preservative-free eye spray targeted to deliver long lasting relief from itchy and dry eyes caused by allergies. Adding amniotic membrane as an adjunct to my toolbox has been invaluable for advanced dry eye cases. Here's the link below if you're interested in learning its mechanism of action, my protocol and limitations of use👁 On Monday morning, I had an emergency walk-in. He told my staff that he felt very weak yesterday and almost fainted. After this incident, his legs were also weak and the right side of his vision was gone. Is that a worm 🪱 in the eye?! No, it's just a really looooong eyelash 😅 Picture 1️⃣ is a normal optic nerve and retina. This patient has healthy eyes. I posted this on my Instagram story last week. Did you get it right? 🧐
