In 2000, Dr. Papadakis received the distinguished status of Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, representing leadership in his profession. As of 2008, only 156 optometrists in all of Canada have become fellows. The Academy was founded in 1922 and one of their key missions is: "promoting the highest ethical and professional standards in practice" and "to promote the art, science and research of vision care". This dedication has sent him on numerous volunteer missions to villages in Mexico, providing eye care to the underprivileged. On average, his group would see 3000 patients in a week, providing treatment for eye disease and also supplying donated eyeglasses. His interests also include contact lenses where he is actively involved in research and clinical investigations. Dr. Papadakis is fully trained in laser co-management and is affiliated with TLC and the Bochner Eye Institute. He himself underwent laser refractive surgery in 2004 with excellent results.
