Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic tools to assess vision quality and eye health. Annual examinations help detect early signs of ocular diseases while evaluating prescription needs. OHIP-covered and private exam options available for all ages, including specialized pediatric assessments starting at age 3.
Optomap Photos
Optomap retinal imaging provides detailed, non-invasive views of the eye's posterior structures. This technology enables early detection of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Permanent digital records allow precise tracking of retinal changes during subsequent visits for better long-term management.
