Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostics like Optomap imaging to assess vision and detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and retinal health while considering individual risk factors like family history and chronic conditions. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or further treatment, ensuring optimal vision and long-term eye health for all ages.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Specialized pediatric exams ensure early detection of vision issues critical for children's development. Using non-invasive Optomap technology, we assess retinal health without dilation while checking for common refractive errors and binocular vision problems. Our child-friendly approach includes stylish frame selections and guidance for parents on monitoring visual development milestones, helping children achieve clear vision for academic and athletic success.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Annual diabetic eye exams screen for retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma using ultra-widefield imaging to capture 82% of the retina. Early detection of vascular changes allows timely intervention to prevent vision loss. We collaborate with endocrinologists to coordinate care, emphasizing blood sugar control's impact on ocular health while providing personalized monitoring schedules based on disease duration and glycemic control.
Contact Lens Fittings
Custom contact lens fittings consider corneal shape, tear film quality, and lifestyle needs. We offer toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal options for presbyopia, and specialty designs for keratoconus. Follow-up assessments ensure proper fit and comfort while educating patients on hygiene practices. Our inventory includes daily disposables and extended-wear lenses, with trial periods available to optimize visual acuity and wearing comfort.
Dry Eye Treatment
Comprehensive dry eye management identifies underlying causes through tear film analysis and meibomian gland evaluation. Treatment plans may include prescription eye drops, punctal plugs, or in-office thermal therapies. We recommend environmental modifications and lid hygiene routines while offering advanced solutions like autologous serum tears. Patients receive ongoing monitoring to adjust interventions based on symptom severity and seasonal variations.

Questions
How often should adults have eye exams?
Adults aged 19-64 should have exams every 1-2 years, while seniors over 65 require annual assessments. Patients with diabetes, family eye disease history, or vision changes may need more frequent visits.
Does OHIP cover eye exams?
OHIP covers annual exams for patients under 20 and over 65. Basic assessments for diabetics are partially covered, but advanced diagnostics like Optomap imaging incur additional fees.
Can I book appointments online?
Existing patients can schedule appointments through our online portal. New patients should call the clinic for initial consultations to ensure proper time allocation for comprehensive assessments.
What eyewear warranties exist?
Frames have a 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects. Single vision lenses carry a 1-year scratch warranty, while progressive lenses include a 6-month adaptation guarantee with frame purchase.
How does Optomap imaging benefit eye health?
Optomap captures 82% of the retina in one image, enabling early detection of peripheral retinal holes, diabetic changes, and choroidal abnormalities that traditional methods might miss during standard exams.
