The best way to maintain healthy eyes is through routine eye exams. During your eye exam, a variety of procedures will be performed to test for your spectacle prescription, eye muscle coordination, and a microscopic examination of your eye health including a dilated fundus exam.

We deal with many eye conditions, such as eye infections, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Our office will refer you to a specialist as needed. Visual fields can also be arranged.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms:
– Eye pain
– Sudden vision loss or partial vision loss
– Sudden onset of flashes and floaters
– Foreign body in eye or scratch on surface of eye (corneal abrasion)
– Chemical contact with eye

Contact lenses are a great alternative to eyeglasses. The technology of contact lenses has advanced greatly to provide high breathability and comfort. There are many options to suit your lifestyle and visual needs.

Refractive surgery, including procedures such as LASIK, PRK, and SMILE, can reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. We are happy to provide more information and help determine if you are a good candidate. We work closely with laser centres in Toronto, including Bochner, Herzig, and TLC.

Myopia management is designed to address nearsightedness (myopia) in children and adolescents. We offer several options that are aimed to help slow down the progression of myopia, including contact lenses, glasses, and eye drops.

Dry eyes, medically known as “dry eye syndrome” or “ocular surface disease,” is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is poor. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and in some cases, vision problems. Your optometrist can assess your symptoms, identify underlying causes, and develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your dry eye condition effectively.
