During his studies he also conducted research in binocular vision and concurrently earned a Master of Science in Vision Science. Dr. Chen received extensive clinical training throughout the United States in primary care, ocular disease, contact lenses, vision therapy, and pediatrics. In the Boston area he interned at the NECO Center for Eye Care, South Boston Community Health Center, and Lynn Community Health Center.

Earning her esteemed Doctorate of Optometry from the University of Waterloo in 2013, Dr. Jessica Melville began her journey as a classmate alongside Dr. Carmen Dumalo. Her trajectory took her to Toronto where she not only practiced as an Optometrist but also shaped the future of optometry as the Director of Clinical Development. Her expertise found its rightful place at Dumalo Optometry in Winter 2019.

Before diving into the realm of optometry, Dr. Melville laid a solid foundation with a Bachelor of Science in Life Science from Queens University. Venturing into the pharmaceutical domain, she garnered a rich reservoir of knowledge about eye diseases, perfectly priming her for the academic and practical challenges of optometry school.

A significant chapter of Dr. Melville's academic journey was her internship at St. Albans Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in New York City. Under the mentorship of a vanguard in glaucoma research and management, she deepened her understanding and expertise in diagnosing and managing a spectrum of ocular diseases, from diabetic retinopathy to macular disorders. Her clinical compass points strongly towards ocular disease, paediatrics, and the world of contact lenses.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Melville is an avid runner, regularly training and traveling for marathons and is also a dog Mom to a dachshund named Winnie.
