Laser Vision Consultation

Considering Laser vision correction? Several surgical methods can correct your eyesight and, in most cases, give you the freedom of seeing well without corrective lenses. If you are interested in LASIK or other vision correction procedures, call our office for a comprehensive eye exam and consultation. We will be happy to discuss whether you are a good candidate for refractive surgery and which procedure may be best for you. We can also recommend an experienced refractive surgeon to co-manage your care if you choose to proceed with surgery.glaucoma testing

Glaucoma affects 250,000 Canadians but only half of them know that they have it. It is the second most common cause of vision loss in people over 65. Your risk of developing glaucoma increases with each decade after age 40 from around 1% in your 40s to up to 12% in your 80s.There a variety of tests to check for glaucoma. At our office, we measures pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure); corneal evaluation; angle evaluation, and examining the retina and optic nerve at the back of the eye.Glaucoma Technology in office

17diabetic retinal examinations

Everyone living with diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2, is at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and vision loss. The risk increases the longer a person has diabetes and the more advanced it is. People with type 1 diabetes are more likely to experience vision loss sooner than those with type 2 diabetes. Early detection is key to preventing vision loss so have your eyes examined yearly.cataract management

More than 2.5 million Canadians have cataracts. They are painless, develop within the existing lenses in your eyes, and are usually detected during routine eye exams.>> Treatment:If glasses are not able to correct the vision, we will refer you to an Ophthalmologist for evaluation of the cataract. If surgery is required, the surgeon will remove your clouded lens and replace it with a clear, plastic intraocular lens (IOL). If you need cataracts removed from both eyes, surgery usually will be done on only one eye at a time. An uncomplicated surgical procedure lasts only about 20 minutes.
