Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our full-scope optometric assessments use advanced technology like Optos Monaco imaging to evaluate vision health and detect eye diseases. Exams include intraocular pressure testing, macular pigment analysis, and personalized recommendations for vision correction or nutritional support. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and tailored care plans.
Therapeutic Eyeglasses
Specialized lenses designed for post-concussion recovery, migraine relief, and binocular vision issues. Solutions include Avulux migraine lenses, SHAW lenses for anisometropia, and microprism glasses. These therapeutic options address visual stress, light sensitivity, and neurological vision challenges through precision optics.
Designer Eyewear
Curated collection of exclusive Canadian and European frames from brands like Etnia Barcelona and Lafont. Our opticians provide personalized styling consultations to match frames with facial features and lifestyle needs. Services include frame adjustments, repairs, and customized lens integration for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
Vision Wellness Assessments
Holistic evaluations combining retinal imaging, OCT scans, and macular pigment testing to assess long-term eye health risks. The assessment identifies antioxidant levels, detects early signs of AMD or glaucoma, and provides dietary recommendations to prevent vision deterioration while addressing digital eye strain concerns.
Contact Lens Fittings

The process includes corneal topography mapping and tear film analysis to ensure optimal comfort. Patients receive training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques for safe lens use.
