Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential ocular diseases using advanced diagnostic equipment. We conduct detailed evaluations for adults and children, including specialized diabetic eye exams and contact lens fittings. The process includes digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to ensure complete ocular health assessment.
Dry Eye Clinic
The London Institute for Dry Eye offers specialized diagnosis and treatment for chronic dry eye conditions. We employ advanced meibography and tear film analysis to create personalized management plans incorporating prescription medications, lid hygiene protocols, and innovative punctal plug solutions for long-term relief.
Optical Dispensary
Our optical dispensary features over 50 designer eyewear brands, including Ray-Ban, Nike, and Swarovski. Our certified opticians provide expert frame selection assistance, digital lens customization, and precision fitting adjustments. We offer specialized lenses for computer use, sports protection, and progressive vision correction with anti-reflective coatings.
Myopia Control
Our myopia management program utilizes orthokeratology lenses and multifocal contact lenses to slow progressive nearsightedness in children. This evidence-based approach combines specialized optics with regular monitoring to reduce axial elongation of the eye through customized treatment plans.
Scleral Lenses
We fit custom scleral lenses for irregular corneas, keratoconus, and severe dry eye conditions. These large-diameter gas permeable lenses vault the cornea to create a fluid reservoir, providing improved visual acuity and comfort compared to traditional contact lenses through precise corneal mapping technology.
