Specializing in retina ophthalmology and general ophthalmology, he joined the extraordinary team of the with The Lions Vision Care Centre at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

As Retinal Specialist with The Lions Vision Care Centre at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, he benefits from a very generous endowment by the Lloyd & Verna Gilbart Ophthalmology Endowment Fund, whose support helps fund the Lions Vision Care Centre and its equipment. “There is a significant need in our community for eyecare and I’m very grateful that the Lions Clubs and Royal Canadian Legion Branches have provided such leadership in funding the equipment we require to take care of thousands of patients each year,” said Dr. Leland Dhurjon after the centre received funds to acquire a Retinal Imaging Camera, a specialized piece of equipment that allows ophthalmologists to properly see and monitor damage to retinas, caused by a variety of medical conditions, including diabetes. “With this new Camera, I’ll be able to view almost double the area of the retina that can be viewed with our current camera. This new treatment will also require no dilation, contact lenses or pressure on the eye”, he adds.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery. 

In his spare time, Dr. Dhurjon enjoys playing squash, cycling and listening to music. His favorite professional publication is the Journal of Retina.
