Book an AppointmentDr. Farrah Sunderji is the founder and owner of Eyedeology in Calgary, Alberta. With a passion for understanding the connection between the eyes and the brain, she has dedicated her career to helping patients achieve not only clearer vision, but also more comfortable and effective visual function in everyday life.
Dr. Sunderji earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts. She completed a clinical internship at the internationally renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, Florida, followed by a residency in Pediatrics and Vision Therapy at the Southern California College of Optometry. These experiences helped shape her clinical philosophy and commitment to understanding vision beyond traditional eyesight.
Her areas of clinical interest include dry eye disease, neuro-optometry, vision therapy, binocular vision disorders, and syntonic phototherapy. She provides comprehensive assessments and individualized management for children and adults with strabismus (eye turns), amblyopia (lazy eye), double vision, concussion and traumatic brain injury-related visual difficulties, dizziness, balance concerns, and challenges with visual processing and attention.
Dr. Sunderji also has a particular interest in developmental and behavioural optometry, working with children and adults who experience difficulties with visual skills that affect reading, learning, concentration, coordination, and daily activities. Her approach recognizes that clear eyesight is only one part of vision and that how the brain receives, processes, and responds to visual information is equally important. She welcomes neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism.
At Eyedeology, Dr. Sunderji takes a holistic, patient-centered, developmental, and evidence-informed approach to eye care. She believes in looking beyond individual symptoms to understand how visual function, ocular health, and overall well-being intersect. Her treatment plans are personalized, with an emphasis on patient education, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and long-term visual health.
Committed to ongoing professional education, Dr. Sunderji is an active member of the Alberta Association of Optometrists, Canadian Association of Optometrists, Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA), Vision Therapy Canada, and College of Syntonic Optometry. She is a past President of the Calgary Society of Optometrists and has earned certification through the Practical Vision Therapy Accreditation Program (PVTAP) offered by Vision Therapy Canada. She is also a member of Beta Kappa Sigma, the national optometric honour society.
Dr. Sunderji believes that every patient deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether helping a child develop essential visual skills, supporting someone experiencing visual difficulties following a concussion, or managing chronic dry eye disease, her goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that improves visual comfort, function, and quality of life.

The membrane contains natural growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties. When placed over the cornea, it acts as a protective layer that supports healing and may help reduce inflammation.
Potential Benefits
The amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of the placenta and contains growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties. During treatment, a specially prepared membrane is placed over the eye’s surface to act as a biological covering and support healing.
Before treatment, your optometrist will examine your eyes and determine whether Amniotic Membrane Therapy is suitable for you.
Dry eye can affect both eyes and may cause different symptoms, including:
A healthy tear film has several components that work together to keep the surface of the eye comfortable and protected. Dry eye can occur when tear production decreases or when tears evaporate too quickly.
Several factors may contribute to dry eye, including:
One common factor is blockage of the Meibomian glands, which produce the lipid layer of the tear film. When these glands are not functioning properly, tear evaporation can increase and contribute to dry eye symptoms.
Managing dry eye involves more than simply using eye drops. Our team can help develop a personalized plan that may include targeted in-office treatments, nutritional guidance, and home care based on your needs.
For patients with more severe dry eye symptoms, targeted in-office treatments may be considered. Available options include:
These treatments may be used as part of dry eye management for symptoms such as burning, itching, redness, and irritation. The appropriate approach depends on the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.
Dry eye can have several contributing factors, so treatment is not the same for everyone. A thorough assessment can help identify factors affecting your tear film and determine which management options may be appropriate.
If you are experiencing persistent dryness, irritation, redness, light sensitivity, or other symptoms, speak with our eye care team about your dry eye management options.
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) is an in-office eyelid cleaning and debridement treatment developed by Zocular®. It is designed to clean the eyelids and lashes while helping address concerns associated with dry eye, blepharitis, and demodex.
The treatment uses a natural, okra-based gel to remove oil, debris, and residue from the eyelid margins and lashes. By improving eyelid hygiene, ZEST can help reduce the buildup that may contribute to irritation and inflammation around the eyes.
Keeping the eyelids, eyelid margins, and lashes clean is an important part of eye hygiene. Buildup along the eyelid edges can contribute to symptoms such as itching, burning, gritty sensations, redness, and irritation.
ZEST is designed to address this buildup through thorough cleansing and debridement.
Dry eye and blepharitis can be associated with inadequate eyelid hygiene. Debris along the eyelid margins can enter the tear film with blinking, potentially contributing to redness and irritation.
Demodex mites can also be present in the hair follicles around the eyelashes. According to the provided information, they may contribute to inflammation and dry eye symptoms by blocking the oil glands at the base of the eyelashes.
ZEST provides targeted cleansing of the eyelid margins and lashes to help remove this buildup and address demodex-related concerns.
