Vol. 01 / Services

Full-scope.
From child to senior.

Nine services across three categories. Real plain-English descriptions of each, with the equipment and lens brands we actually carry. Every service ends in the same place: a real exam in a quiet room.

Category 01

Eye Exams

No. 01

Adult and Senior Eye Exams

A physical for your eyes, top to bottom.

Comprehensive exams update your prescription and check for diseases that often have no early symptoms, like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. We use OCT and ultra widefield imaging for a complete view inside the eye.

  • Adults aged 20 to 64: every two years
  • Seniors aged 65 and up: every year
  • More often if you are higher risk for glaucoma or have diabetes
No. 02

Children's Eye Exams

About 80 percent of what kids learn comes through their vision.

Children develop fast and so do their eyes. Vision issues often hide as restlessness, headaches, or trouble in school. Most children's eye exams are covered by OHIP.

  • At least one exam between 6 and 9 months
  • One exam each year between 2 and 5 years
  • Every year from age 6 to 19
No. 03

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes affects the eye long before it affects vision.

A diabetic eye exam includes pupil dilation so we can see the retina clearly. We watch for diabetic retinopathy and macular edema, both of which start without symptoms but can lead to vision loss if missed.

  • Recommended every year if you have diabetes
  • Fundus photography and OCT imaging
  • Coordinated with your family doctor
No. 04

Contact Lens Exams and Fittings

Contacts only work if they fit you. Properly.

A contact lens exam plus a separate fitting. We measure your cornea, pupil, iris, and tear film, then trial the right lens. Soft, rigid gas permeable, toric for astigmatism, multifocal, transitions, allergy, and ortho-k all stocked.

  • Toric lenses for astigmatism
  • Multifocal contacts for distance plus reading
  • Transitions contacts that adapt to light
  • ACUVUE Theravision allergy contacts
Category 02

Specialty Eye Care

No. 05

Dry Eye Treatment

About 30 percent of people over 50 deal with dry eye.

We get to the root cause first, often meibomian gland dysfunction, then build a treatment plan that actually works. Combination treatments are normal: most people need more than one round.

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy
  • Lipiflow vector thermal pulsation
  • Radiofrequency for clogged glands
  • Zest eyelid system treatment
  • Omega-3 PRN, Bruder masks, Thealoz Duo, OCUNOX
No. 06

Myopia Control

Slow nearsightedness now. Protect their eyes for life.

Untreated high myopia raises the lifetime risk of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. Myopia control slows the growth of the eye, so the prescription does not climb as fast. Studies show MiSight slows progression by an average of 59 percent.

  • MiSight 1-day soft contacts (kids 8 to 12)
  • ACUVUE Abiliti soft contacts
  • Ortho-k overnight contacts
  • MyoCare and Stellest HAL eyeglass lenses
  • Axial length tracking at every visit
No. 07

Laser Eye Surgery Consultation

Wondering if LASIK or PRK is right for you? Start here.

We assess if you are a candidate, walk you through your options, and co-manage your pre and post operative care with the surgical team you choose. You stay in town for the parts that do not need an OR.

  • Suitability evaluation for LASIK and PRK
  • Coordination with your surgical centre
  • Pre-op corneal mapping and exam
  • Post-op follow-up locally
Category 03

Disease and Emergency

No. 08

Eye Disease Diagnosis and Management

Catch it early. Treat it early. Keep your vision longer.

Most serious eye diseases have no symptoms in their early stages. We use modern diagnostics to find them before they damage vision, then build a treatment and monitoring plan.

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
  • Tonometry for glaucoma screening
  • Retinal photography
  • Axial length measurements
  • Conditions: AMD, cataracts, conjunctivitis, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma
No. 09
