Dr. France Corriveau, OD, FCOVD
Dr. Corriveau received her Doctorate of Optometry from the Université de Montréal in 2008. She has always had a strong passion for binocular vision and developmental optometry and started providing vision therapy very early on in her career. She became a Fellow of the College of Optometrist in Vision Development (COVD) in 2017 and is pursuing a fellowship with the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA). Dr. Corriveau has also been pursuing specialized training with a number of different organizations, including: the Optometric Extension Program Foundation, Vision Therapy Canada (formerly Canadian Optometrists in Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation), the Sanet Vision Seminars and the Padula Institute of Vision. Dr. Corriveau serves as a quality assessor for the Ontario College of Optometrists as well as an examiner for the Optometry examining board of Canada. She is a board member of Vision Therapy Canada.
Dr. Corriveau knew from a very young age that she wanted to be an optometrist and that she wanted to help people. Her kind, attentive and patient nature, along with her fluent bilingual skills, has allowed her to serve a wide range of patients; from serving as an in-house optometrist for old age homes across Ottawa to volunteering in Ecuador to fit glasses to children in need.
For leisure, Dr. Corriveau enjoys reading, playing the piano, cycling and is currently training for her second triathlon. She lives in Ottawa and travels to Montreal often to visit with her nieces and nephew.
