Dr. Glenn Wicks, Optometrist

Dr Glenn Wicks is originally from Brisbane, Australia where he attended Queensland University of Technology, graduating with his Bachelor of Applied Science - Optometry in 1985. He then worked in a range of locations across 4 provinces in Australia, including time working as Clinical Director for an eye surgical centre specialising in Laser refractive and cataract surgery.
In 2006, he completed a Post-Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics at Melbourne University.  After deciding to abandon the heat and sunny weather of Australia, Dr Wicks completed the International Optometry Bridging program at the University of Waterloo in 2012. Having successfully completed the Canadian Board exams, he and his wife, Judy emigrated to Canada in early 2013. Initially working in Victoria on Vancouver Island, Dr Wicks then again returned to working in a surgical centre, this time as General Manager of a Vancouver area laser and cataract centre.
Dr Wicks was awarded his Fellowship of the American Academy of Optometry in 2015. After spending several years in Newfoundland, he and Judy, also an Associate Optometrist with Dr Hopkins, decided to settle in the Niagara region.
Dr Wicks is a certified therapeutic Optometrist, with special interests in ocular pathology and its therapeutic management, surgical co-management, and in Keratoconus and other specialized contact lenses.
Outside of the clinic, his interests in boating, golf, skiing, travel and wine appreciation make the Niagara region the ideal area to settle and pursue these passions.
