A coordinated clinical and optical team focused on clear communication, practical recommendations, and a comfortable visit from start to finish.


Every person you meet has a role in making the appointment easier: gathering accurate information, supporting diagnostic testing, explaining next steps, and helping translate prescriptions into eyewear that works.
Dr. Zara Akhter brings more than eight years of primary eye-care experience to Peel Eye Care in Brampton, where she is the owner and optometrist. Her approach connects your eye health, vision and day-to-day needs, with clear explanations and personalized recommendations.
She holds a Master of Optometry from Aston University and a B.Sc. (Honours) in Biology from McMaster University, and completed the University of Waterloo’s International Optometric Bridging Program.
Her clinical work includes ocular disease, myopia management, dry eye care and contact lenses. She is currently undertaking vision therapy training with Dr. Patricia Fink.
Dr. Akhter also contributes to ophthalmology eReferral standardization with Amplify Care and serves on the Ontario Association of Optometrists’ Advocacy Advisory Committee.

Support staff help with intake, pre-testing, imaging, and visit coordination so the doctor has the right information at the right time.
