Dr. Vaakiny Raguthevan, known to her patients as Dr. Ragu, was born in Toronto and grew up in Markham. She earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto and went on to graduate from the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry. She is fluent in both English and Tamil, and she looks forward to making your eye care experience a great one!
Dr. Ragu is passionate about giving back and has traveled on mission trips to provide eye care to underserved communities in Honduras and Jamaica. After spending a couple years practicing in rural clinics across Southwestern Ontario, she decided to settle closer to family and friends in the area. Dr. Ragu has a special interest in treating Dry Eye disease but loves working with patients of all ages and considers herself a kid at heart.
When she’s not at the clinic, Dr. Ragu has a passion for baking anything that is sweet, practicing yoga, playing the piano, and unwinding with her favorite Netflix shows.
