Services
Cataract Surgery
Our femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and implants advanced intraocular lenses to restore vision. We specialize in contrast-enhancing implants for patients with macular degeneration. Our surgeons perform over 1,000 procedures annually, achieving 95% visual improvement rates while managing complex cases with coexisting retinal or glaucoma conditions.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma care from medical management with prostaglandin analogs to minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our specialists utilize laser trabeculoplasty and drainage implant surgery to control intraocular pressure. With early detection through HVF perimetry and OCT imaging, we prevent optic nerve damage while managing both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma variants.
Retinal Diagnostics
Advanced retinal imaging combines OCT, IVFA, and FAF technologies for precise diagnosis of macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Our microperimetry system maps retinal sensitivity while the IOL Master ensures accurate biometry for complex cataract cases. These tools enable early intervention and treatment monitoring with sub-micron precision.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons correct ptosis, entropion, and orbital fractures while addressing cosmetic concerns. We manage eyelid tumors with reconstructive techniques and treat thyroid eye disease through orbital decompression. Pediatric cases include congenital ptosis and tear duct obstructions, combining functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Clinical Research
As Canada's leading ophthalmic research center, we conduct Phase II & III FDA trials for retinal and glaucoma therapies. Our participation in 20+ studies has advanced anti-VEGF treatments and micropulse laser technology. Patients gain early access to investigational drugs while contributing to global eye disease understanding through our collaboration with Harvard and MIT researchers.
