Dr. Cheema-Brar completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto with a double major in Economics and Biology.

Upon returning to Canada, she completed the IOBP program at the University of Waterloo, where she was also board certified in the use and distribution of therapeutic agents.

Dr. Cheema-Brar actively practices all optometry areas, including, but not limited to, diabetic screening, cataract and glaucoma assessment and management, binocular vision issues, contact lenses, and dry eye therapy. She does, however, have a particular interest in pediatrics with an emphasis on amblyopia.
