Why Dr. Jason knows what he’s doing
And the details that decide their value.
With 2017Year IRIS Cochrane opened on 5th Avenue West.
Dr. Francis Jean opened his first optometry practice in Baie-Comeau in 1986. By 1990, the IRIS brand had been created, bringing eye care and eyewear under one Canadian name.
Today, IRIS has more than 150 locations across Canada, giving local clinics like IRIS Cochrane the support of a wider network of optometrists, opticians and ophthalmology services.
Since opening on 5th Avenue West, IRIS Cochrane has offered local access to eye exams, prescription eyewear, sunglasses and contact lenses.
Jason helps local residents with everyday vision questions through a clinic that enjoys being part of Cochrane, not just located in it.
Part of Cochrane, not just located in it. For Cochrane families, eye care is easier when exams, eyewear, contact lenses and optician support are available in one local clinic. IRIS Cochrane connects that day-to-day access with the resources of a Canadian eye care network.
Children should have their vision checked regularly, even if they are not complaining about blurry vision. Some vision concerns show up as squinting, headaches, reading fatigue, sitting close to screens or difficulty concentrating. An optometrist can check vision, eye teaming and eye health, then recommend the next step if anything needs attention.
Myopia management is care for children or teens whose distance vision is becoming more nearsighted over time. The goal is to monitor changes and, when appropriate, discuss options that may help slow progression. Not every child needs the same approach, so families should book an eye exam and ask the optometrist what options are suitable.
The right timing depends on age, health history, vision changes, medications, family history and whether you wear glasses or contact lenses. Many adults benefit from regular eye health exams because an eye exam checks more than a prescription. Ask an optometrist how often you should be seen based on your own risk factors and symptoms.
Screens can contribute to tired eyes, dryness, headaches, blurry vision or difficulty refocusing, especially after long periods without breaks. An optometrist can check whether your prescription, focusing, dry eye symptoms, screen habits or workspace setup may be part of the problem.
Many people can wear contact lenses, but the right lens depends on eye health, prescription, comfort, lifestyle and fit. A contact lens assessment helps determine which options may work and teaches proper use, cleaning and replacement.
Book an eye exam if your vision becomes blurry, your glasses no longer feel right, you notice headaches, night driving becomes harder, your eyes feel uncomfortable or your child starts showing signs of vision difficulty. Sudden vision loss, eye injury, severe eye pain, flashes or new floaters should be treated as urgent and assessed promptly.
No. A comprehensive eye exam can check your prescription, how your eyes work together and the health of the eyes. Depending on your age, symptoms and health history, the optometrist may recommend additional imaging, monitoring or follow-up care.
For many families, local access makes it easier to book exams, update glasses, ask about contacts and return for adjustments or follow-up. IRIS Cochrane offers optometry and eyewear services in Cochrane, which can be more convenient for residents who want care close to home.

Helping local residents make sense of the vision questions that show up in real life: a child squinting at the board, glasses that no longer feel right, contact lenses that need a better fit, or sunglasses made for mountain-edge living. It is eye care, eyewear and local service, all close to home.
Local eye care is easier to act on when the questions feel clear, practical and close to home.
This profile is for general information only and is not medical advice. For diagnosis, treatment recommendations, urgent symptoms or changes in vision, contact an optometrist or appropriate medical professional. If you experience sudden vision loss, eye injury, severe eye pain, flashes, new floaters or other urgent symptoms, seek prompt medical care.
Most of us don’t think much about our eyes until they start changing the terms.
Maybe your eyes are tired by 3 PM. Maybe there’s a floater that definitely wasn’t there last Tuesday. Dr. Jason Hauck, Dr. Ravneet Grewal and Dr. Nadia Albano spend their days sorting out what’s normal, what isn’t, and what your eyes might be trying to tell you.
That’s the science. The rest is getting to know the people behind it.
If your eyes start doing something that sends you straight to Google, Dr. Jason’s a better first call.
Flashes? Floaters? Dry eyes? Headaches after spending your entire working life approximately 18 inches from a screen? Bring it up.
He’s been looking after eyes for more than 20 years, and when something needs a specialist, he already has relationships with ophthalmology clinics and knows when it’s time to bring them in.
But that’s probably not the only reason you’ll like him.
Dr. Jason decided he wanted to be an optometrist in middle school and followed through, which feels reassuring in a person you’re trusting with your vision. He went on to earn an Honours degree in Biochemistry at the University of Calgary before completing optometry at the University of Waterloo in 2004.
You know that feeling when someone starts explaining something medical and, about twelve seconds in, you’re nodding politely while understanding absolutely none of it?
Dr. Ravneet Grewal is not that kind of optometrist.
She likes people to understand what’s going on with their eyes, what she’s seeing, and why it matters. No mystery vocabulary.
She has been practising since 2015 and joined IRIS in 2018. She has a special interest in dry eye, glaucoma and myopia control, which is optometrist-speak for helping nearsighted kids see a little less blur in their future.
But that’s probably not the reason you’ll like her.
Dr. Ravneet has also trained in ocular disease and therapeutics and has experience caring for cataract patients before and after surgery.
Off duty, she’s more hiking boots and coffee-shop novel than clinic mode.
If she could choose a vision superpower, it would be automatic sunglasses. No squinting. Ever.
She trained at the University of Waterloo and has a special interest in dry eye and low-vision rehabilitation. And since she now lives in Alberta, dry eye isn’t exactly an obscure hobby. Her advice: if your eyes are achy, tired or mysteriously scratchy, don’t just keep blinking and hoping for the best.
Dr. Nadia almost became a chemistry researcher. Then she almost became a teacher. Instead, she found a job where she gets to do a little of both.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Nadia has recently discovered hiking, preferably involving mountains and a good pair of sunglasses. UV protection is non-negotiable.
But that’s probably not the only reason you’ll like her.
Should you need something to talk about while she examines your eyes, try Severance or The Pitt. Or go with her comfort-viewing classics: The Office and Parks and Recreation.
