Comprehensive Eye Exam

Comprehensive Eye Exam

Routine eye exams are a vital aspect of preventive eye care. Without routine eye exams, vision issues often go undetected since most eye disorders don't have clear symptoms.

Pediatric Eye Exam

Pediatric Eye Exam

Regular eye exams are important for children since their eyes can change significantly in as little as a year as the muscles and tissues develop. Good eyesight is critical for a child’s life and achievements since success in school is closely tied to eye health.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetic Eye Exams

You have almost certainly heard of diabetes, which is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States, with an estimated 100 million adults currently living with diabetes or prediabetes.

Contact Lens Exams

Contact Lens Exams

You have almost certainly heard of diabetes, which is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States, with an estimated 100 million adults currently living with diabetes or prediabetes. This metabolic disorder occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate its own blood sugar levels and requires intervention to keep them stable.

Specialty Contact Lenses

Specialty Contact Lenses

Every patient is different, and so are their eyes. This means that there need to be different types of contact lenses to suit each individual. Some patients have corneal abnormalities, which mean that conventional lenses won’t sit comfortably on the surface of their eyes, while others suffer from eye conditions that mean normal contact lenses won’t be comfortable or could irritate their eyes.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral Lenses

Contact lenses come in a variety of shapes and styles to suit the range of needs for individual patients. What this means is that there is almost certainly a type of contact lens that will both feel comfortable for you and improve your vision.

Some types of contact lenses are known as speciality lenses. This is because they are designed specifically to overcome some eye issues which may prevent a patient from wearing the most common and generic styles of contact lenses. In fact, speciality contact lenses have transformed the vision options of many patients who would otherwise have only had the choice between wearing glasses or undergoing laser vision correction. There are numerous types of speciality contact lens, including scleral lenses.

Ortho-K

Ortho-K

Many patients come to us every day struggling to get through their daily lives with their current choice of vision correction. Some have eyeglasses that do not sit properly on their face or feel that their peripheral vision is hindered by the frames. Contact lens users may find the lenses uncomfortable or have them fall out at inconvenient times. For these patients, we are pleased to offer orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, a revolutionary way to help you see clearly throughout the day without having to wear glasses or contacts and without having to get laser eye surgery.

MiSight

MiSight

Over the years, contact lenses have evolved. A new product called MiSight is giving children a new and improved option. MiSight lenses effectively treat myopia, otherwise known as nearsightedness.

Myopia Management

Myopia Management

Myopia (or nearsightedness) is so common that nearly 50% of North Americans will have myopia by 2030. Myopia happens when the eye grows too fast, too long, and gets weaker. You may know it as blurry vision far away. At our practice, we specialize in pediatric eye care and treat myopia seriously.

Dry Eye Management

Dry Eye Management

Dry eye is a common ocular condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, redness, blurred vision, and even damage to the surface of the eyes. Understanding the causes and symptoms of dry eye is crucial to provide early detection and effective treatment.

Eye Disease Management

Eye Disease Management

Millions of patients are diagnosed with diseases and conditions of the eye every year. Some of these may not display symptoms until there is irreversible damage to the patient’s vision. The outcome of eye disease can range from temporary discomfort to total loss of vision, which is why all eye problems and diseases should be taken seriously, and regular eye check-ups are absolutely essential.

Cataracts

Cataracts

Steroid eye drops are routinely prescribed to treat dry eyes or an arthritic flare-up in the eyes. Unfortunately, they can also speed up the progression of cataracts. Talk to your Optometrist about how you can manage both conditions without inadvertently making your cataracts worse – and hastening the need for surgery.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma

Eye drops for glaucoma treatment seem like an easy option, but several challenges can reduce their effectiveness. It can be difficult to get all the medicine in the eye, especially for older adults with less of a steady hand. In addition, since it must be applied daily, individuals may forget. Since the drops have no perceivable benefit because early stages of glaucoma have no symptoms, patients might make it a lower priority, which is understandable since it may also have unpleasant side effects like burning and red eyes.

Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration, commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the single largest cause of sight loss in the developed world and affects more than 10 million Americans. It usually affects people over the age of 60, but it has been known to affect those who are younger. It is a painless condition that usually affects both eyes, with the loss being experienced in the central vision. It does not affect the peripheral vision, meaning that it does not cause total blindness.

Urgent Eye Care

Urgent Eye Care

Urgent eye care encompasses prompt evaluation and treatment of sudden or severe eye-related issues, including foreign object removal, chemical exposure, corneal abrasions, sudden vision loss, eye trauma, acute glaucoma, chemical burns, and eye infections. Seeking immediate professional attention from an optometrist is vital to prevent further damage and preserve vision.

InfantSEE

InfantSEE

Your baby’s vision develops quickly during the first year of life and plays an important role in how they learn, move, and interact with the world. Even when a baby’s eyes appear healthy, certain vision or eye health concerns may not be obvious without a comprehensive infant eye assessment. InfantSEE is designed to help identify potential concerns early, giving parents peace of mind and helping children start life with the clearest, healthiest vision possible.

Neurolens

Neurolens

Newton™, formerly Neurolens®, is the first and only prescription lens that includes an element of contoured prism in its design. This prism is designed to bring the patient’s eyes into more equal alignment, and this should help to provide relief from the symptoms that are associated with several eye misalignment conditions, including digital eye strain and binocular vision dysfunction.

Optical Suite

Optical Suite

Eye care professionals use Optikam’s technology to capture more than 3 million eyewear measurements every year. The OptikamPad iPad app is a total dispensing solution that enables eye care professionals to successfully assist patients at all stages of the eyewear dispensing process, providing them with a unique and custom patient experience.
