Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, binocular coordination, and ocular health using advanced OCT technology. We detect conditions like glaucoma and cataracts while providing personalized prescriptions. Exams include dilated fundus evaluations to ensure thorough diagnosis and treatment planning for optimal visual clarity.
Pediatric Eye Care
Specialized pediatric exams use age-appropriate techniques to evaluate children's vision from infancy. We test for eye turns, binocular function, and developmental issues impacting learning. Services include vision therapy and occlusion therapy, with OHIP coverage for annual exams until age 19.
Emergency Eye Clinic
We provide prompt treatment for ocular emergencies like conjunctivitis, foreign body removal, and angle-closure glaucoma. Our licensed optometrists diagnose and manage infections, prescribing antibiotics or initiating treatments immediately in our downtown Toronto clinic.
Eyewear
Our optical shop offers hundreds of designer frames and premium lenses tailored to prescriptions. We assist with selecting stylish, functional eyewear and provide contact lens fittings. Extended hours allow convenient shopping after exams or consultations.
