Compassionate Care with a Legacy of Excellence
Dr. Ivy Koh is more than an optometrist—she’s a dedicated partner in her patients’ lifelong vision health. As a University of Waterloo graduate with over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Koh combines her clinical expertise with a genuine commitment to delivering personalized, thorough care for patients of all ages. She has been recognized for her exceptional skills and experience with the A.W. Cole Award for Clinical Excellence and the E.J. Chisholm Award for achievement in pediatric optometry.
Her specialization in pediatric vision care and myopia management allows her to address the unique needs of children, while her comprehensive approach ensures families feel confident and cared for at every stage of life. Dr. Koh's passion for eye care led her to complete externships in large ophthalmology practices in the US, focusing on glaucoma, anterior segment, and retinal care. She has also gained extensive on-site experience in managing refractive laser eye surgery pre and post-operative care.
A deep-rooted passion has shaped Dr. Koh’s career for healthcare. From volunteering at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games to leading educational health talks in the Etobicoke community, her dedication goes beyond the clinic. She values building lasting relationships with her patients and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where every individual feels heard and supported.
Dr. Koh’s philosophy is simple: eye care should empower patients, protect vision, and enhance quality of life. Dr. Koh helps you achieve the best vision now and, in the future, whether you need preventative care, treatment for complex conditions, or advice on protecting your family’s eye health. One cause that holds a special place in her heart is organ donation and the Transplant Program at UHN. She strongly encourages everyone to sign their donor cards and make a difference in someone's life.
Dr. Koh currently resides in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with her husband and 2 daughters.
