University of British Columbia Features Dr. Capo

Every patient benefits when healthcare professionals learn from one another. That idea sits at the heart of Dr. Sophia Capo's work, both inside and beyond the exam room.

At A B See Optometry and Vision Therapy, Dr. Capo works with children and adults experiencing a wide range of vision concerns. From comprehensive eye exams to neuro-optometric care, the practice focuses on helping patients understand how their visual system supports everyday life.

That same passion for education recently earned recognition in a Clinical Faculty feature from the University of British Columbia (UBC), where Dr. Capo shares her experience teaching Family Medicine residents and learners.

Supporting Better Eye Care in Kelowna

Since 2024, Dr. Sophia Capo, O.D., FAAO, has served as a preceptor with the UBC Department of Family Practice, helping future family physicians recognize vision concerns that can affect learning, comfort, and daily activities. Her goal is to strengthen collaboration between primary care providers, optometrists, and other healthcare professionals so patients receive well-rounded care when vision plays a role in their health.

This collaborative approach is especially meaningful in communities like Kelowna, where growing families, active lifestyles, and an expanding population benefit from connected healthcare services.

Looking Beyond the Eye Chart

Many people think an eye exam begins and ends with reading letters on a chart. At A B See Optometry and Vision Therapy, appointments often explore much more than visual clarity. The team also evaluates how the eyes focus, track, and work together, giving patients a clearer picture of their overall visual function.

This philosophy is reflected in Dr. Capo's teaching. In her UBC feature, she discusses the importance of helping future physicians recognize how vision can influence reading, recovery after neurological injury, and everyday comfort. By sharing this knowledge across healthcare professions, she hopes more patients receive timely referrals and appropriate care.
