Hear From Our Patients:
Dianne Easton
"I had eyelid surgery in the building where this pharmacy is located. I was impressed with how my prescription of Tylenol 3 was reviewed and found to be in. Introduction to another medication I was in where the Tylenol 3 would not have been an effective medication due to being an opioid. I was also appreciative whenI felt woozy that a bottle of water from their retail cooler was given to me complimentary ... I thought that was very caring!"
Zahra Kadkhoda
"I highly recommend 20/20 Pharmacy Ltd.
The entire pharmacy team is friendly, respectful, and attentive. They consistently treat customers with kindness and make every effort to ensure prescriptions are prepared accurately and on time. Their medication delivery service is also reliable and punctual, which is greatly appreciated. It is clear that patient care is their top priority.
The staff go above and beyond to make sure customers feel supported, informed, and valued.
Thank you to the whole team at 20/20 Pharmacy for your outstanding service and dedication. I highly recommend this pharmacy to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and dependable pharmaceutical care."
Debra Wilkes
"The most attentive team of pharmacists I have ever come across! Just by chance I took my 95 year old mother into the pharmacy after a doctor's visit. My goodness, they took incredible care and went above and beyond for my mom with information and adjustment of prescriptions to suit her better. They definitely know more than my mom's current physician Dr. Donald Louie. We switched pharmacies immediately. Free delivery of prescriptions. Thank you to Terese and her amazing team! Now, we just need a new doctor. (which they are helping us with). 5 stars for sure!"

EYE CARE
Welcome to the 2020 Pharmacy Eye Care & Post-Surgery Resource Center!
Healing after eye surgery takes time and proper care. Our team is here to provide the medications, products,
and guidance you need to support a safe and comfortable recovery.
Searching for personalized eye care? Book an appointment with us here.
Post-Surgery Care Essentials
After eye surgery, your body needs time to recover. While you should always follow the specific instructions provided by your surgeon or ophthalmologist, keep these general best practices in mind when you get home:
Rest and Recover: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or bending over until your doctor gives you the green light.
Hands Off: Never rub or press on your healing eye. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the area around your face.
Protect Your Vision: Wear the protective shield provided by your doctor while sleeping, and wear sunglasses outdoors to reduce glare and protect against light sensitivity.
Medication Management: Take any prescribed pain relievers and apply your drops or ointments exactly as directed to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.
How to Use Eye Drops
Applying eye drops correctly ensures you get the full benefit of your medication without introducing bacteria to your healing eye.Step-by-Step Instructions:
Wash Up: Vigorously wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds. Dry them on a clean towel.
Prep the Bottle: Shake the bottle gently (if directed by your pharmacist). Remove the cap, being extremely careful not to touch the dropper tip with your fingers.
Tilt and Pull: Tilt your head back slightly. Gently pull your lower eyelid down with one finger to create a small "pouch."
Aim and Squeeze: Hold the dropper close to your eye without letting it touch your eyelashes, eyelid, or skin. Gently squeeze one drop into the pouch.
