Following graduation in 2011, Dr. Deschamps settled in Alberta.

In 2017 Dr. Deschamps joined the Airdrie and Innisfail Eyecare group. Dr. Deschamps welcomes the opportunity to travel throughout North America to attend continuing education conferences, which keeps her well-informed about advances in eyecare. Dr. Deschamps enjoys providing optometric care to patients of all ages, and looks forward to developing long term doctor-patient relationships at the Airdrie Eyecare and Innisfail Eyecare Centres.

When not working, Dr. Deschamps can be found spending time with her husband on their grain and cattle farm. She also dedicates a great deal of time and skill to showing and riding reining horses.

The need for comprehensive eye examinations by an Optometrist is critical to your overall health. Vision and ocular health conditions are not always accompanied by recognizable symptoms, and there is often an increased risk to the patient if timely treatment is not initiated.
••
Systemic disease such as diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, autoimmune, and many others, can be detected during your eye examination.
••
Frequency of examinations is dependent on your particular eye care needs. The recommended minimum frequencies of eye exams for most “low risk” people can be found on our website.
