An Orthoptist specializes in the non-surgical treatment of visual disorders such as amblyopia (a lazy eye) and eye alignment conditions. After graduation, she worked primarily with children, first in France and then in Montreal at the renowned pediatric center in the Saint Justine University Hospital.

In 2010 Dr. Leroy graduated with a Doctor of Optometry degree and moved to Moncton. With a love for the local community, she has made roots in Moncton with her husband and two children. Dr. Leroy has many years of vision care experience and is thrilled to be able to provide high quality patient care.
