About Dr. Palak Sandhu

Dr. Sandhu completed her education at the State University of New York College of Optometry and has been practicing since 2014. Her involvement in the Alberta Association of Optometrists and the Edmonton Society of Optometrists helps her stay current with advancements in optometry. She actively reviews new diagnostic technology and treatment options, with a particular interest in ocular health and the ability to detect systemic diseases through eye examination. Her interest in ocular health began at a young age when she discovered the complexity of the human eye and its ability to reveal a wide variety of systemic diseases. Prior to becoming a busy mother, Dr. Sandhu spent her time volunteering in her community, including at local temples helping others assimilate into Canada and with Homeless Connect Toronto, providing eye exams for the homeless. Having married her best friend from Optometry school, optometry continues to play a big part in Dr. Sandhu’s life both personally and professionally. In their first year of marriage, the couple rescued a German Shepherd, and they are now proud parents of their toddler son. During her time away from work, she enjoys travelling, watching basketball, and trying new restaurants with her family.
