Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess vision acuity, eye health, and potential systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools like retinal imaging and visual field analyzers, we detect conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. The exams include dilated pupil assessments for complete eye health evaluation, with recommendations for follow-up care based on individual needs.
Pediatric Vision Care
Specialized vision assessments for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children ensure proper visual development. We evaluate eye tracking, focusing abilities, and binocular coordination while checking for congenital anomalies. Early detection of vision problems helps prevent learning difficulties, with recommended exams at 6 months, 3 years, and before school entry as per provincial optometric guidelines.
Contact Lens Fitting
Custom contact lens fittings address various vision needs including astigmatism, bifocals, and keratoconus. Our specialists provide training for proper lens handling and care while offering trial lenses for comfort optimization. We prescribe leading brands of soft, rigid gas permeable, and scleral lenses with options for cosmetic color enhancement.
Optical Services
Our optical department features over 800 designer frames and advanced lens technologies. We offer anti-reflective coatings, progressive lenses, and sports-specific eyewear with a two-year warranty on most frames. The on-site lab provides same-day service for single vision prescriptions, with adjustments and cleaning available without appointments.
Specialized Contact Lenses
We provide specialty lenses for complex vision needs including prosthetic lenses, pediatric applications, and high-definition monovision. Our practitioners have extensive experience fitting lenses for irregular corneas and offer ongoing support for adaptation to specialized lens systems.
