Dr. John F. Blaylock Clinical Studies has been conducting ophthalmic surgical research and clinical trials in Abbotsford for over 20 years, specialising in corneal and refractive surgery outcomes. If you want a surgeon who pairs practical experience with rigorous study methods, this is the place. Dr. Blaylock has led more than 150 clinical protocols, many in collaboration with Valley Laser Eye Centre, and is known locally for meticulous patient follow-up and transparent reporting of results.

Their work centres on surgical clinical studies, from pre-operative screening to long-term outcome monitoring. Recent trials have tested accelerated corneal cross-linking, advanced LASIK flap techniques using femtosecond lasers, and novel intraocular lens (IOL) implants. The practice runs a dedicated 1,200 square foot research suite inside the clinic for baseline assessments, diagnostic imaging and post-op care, and they use specific devices such as Pentacam topography and optical coherence tomography for objective data collection.

What sets them apart is how studies are run day-to-day. Participants get clear, written protocols, same-day scheduling for key visits, and detailed consent discussions where risks and benefits are explained in plain language. The team includes a certified ophthalmic technologist, a clinical research coordinator with Good Clinical Practice certification, and access to an independent biostatistician for study analysis. Appointments often include digital copies of test results and a printed summary you can take home.

Locally, Dr. Blaylock’s studies have brought new surgical options to Fraser Valley patients sooner than they might have elsewhere, and many neighbours choose the clinic because of its track record of thorough follow-up and honest communication. If you are considering participation or seeking a surgeon experienced in clinical research, call to discuss suitability and current studies.
