Advanced Diagnostics
We see what others miss.
Most eye conditions develop silently. By the time you notice something is wrong, damage has often already occurred. Our diagnostic technology allows us to detect disease at its earliest stages, before symptoms appear and while treatment is most effective.
→ Retinal photography and OCT imaging
→ Visual field testing and optic nerve analysis
→ Glaucoma and diabetic eye screening
→ Corneal topography and dry eye assessment
→ Macular degeneration monitoring

Dry eye disease affects comfort, vision, and quality of life, and no two cases are alike. We use a personalized, multi-approach treatment strategy designed to target the root cause of your symptoms.
We offer a full range of advanced treatments including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), thermal pulsation therapy (LipiFlow), radiofrequency (RF), prescription medications, nutritional supplements, and conventional therapies. We also treat eyelid styes non-invasively using intense light therapy, delivering targeted care without systemic antibiotics.
IPL therapy is a light-based treatment that targets inflammation, bacteria, and clogged oil glands — common causes of dry eye. It improves oil flow and reduces abnormal blood vessels associated with ocular rosacea. IPL can also treat eyelid styes quickly and non-invasively, offering relief without medication.
Benefits
-
Reduction of redness and inflammation
-
Improved meibomian gland function
-
Relief from ocular rosacea
-
Long-term improvement in comfort and tear stability
-
Ideal for patients with chronic dry eye, ocular rosacea, or those who have not found relief with artificial tears or medications.

Radiofrequency treatment uses gentle electromagnetic heat to target the meibomian glands. It melts blocked oils, improves gland function, and stimulates collagen production to enhance eyelid tone and health.
Benefits
-
Improved oil secretion and tear stability
-
Long-lasting dry eye relief
-
Comfortable, non-invasive experience
-
Added benefit of smoother, tighter eyelid skin
-
Particularly effective for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), evaporative dry eye, chronic blepharitis, or patients unresponsive to traditional treatments.

Our diagnostic imaging goes well beyond what most clinics offer. We use a comprehensive suite of technology to build a complete picture of your eye health, detecting disease before symptoms appear.

We fit all contact lens types, including scleral lenses, rigid gas-permeable designs, and custom lenses for keratoconus and complex corneal conditions. For patients whose prescriptions cannot be corrected with standard soft lenses, specialty fitting is where we excel.

Children's eyes are still developing, and the early years are when progression matters most. We go beyond a standard pediatric exam to plot growth charts for the eye, measure eye length and shape, and assess corneal health and lid physiology. We can also determine whether screen time is affecting your child's eye structures in ways that are not always visible.
If we identify a risk, we can act on it. Specialized lenses, contact lenses designed to slow eye growth, and prescription medications are all available in-house.

We provide expert pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for LASIK, PRK, and refractive lens procedures. If you are considering laser eye surgery, we will give you an honest, thorough assessment of your candidacy and refer you to the right surgeon.

For Every Stage of Life
Eye care for the whole family.
From a child's first exam to managing age-related conditions, we provide continuous care across every stage of life.
Children
Children should have their first eye exam at age 3, and every year from age 4 on. Early detection of conditions like amblyopia, myopia, and strabismus makes a lasting difference in learning and development.
OHIP covers one comprehensive exam per year for children under 20, plus minor assessments as needed. We make pediatric exams comfortable, engaging, and stress-free.
Adults
Adults between 20 and 64 should have a comprehensive exam every one to two years, even when vision feels fine. Many conditions develop without symptoms and are only caught through imaging.
OHIP covers adults aged 20 to 64 with an eligible medical condition, including diabetes, glaucoma, and retinal disease.
Seniors
Annual exams are essential for patients 65 and older. Age-related changes to the lens, retina, and optic nerve require consistent monitoring to preserve independence and quality of life.
OHIP covers exams every 12 months for seniors with a diagnosed sight-threatening condition, and every 18 months for healthy seniors, plus up to two follow-up assessments either way.
Our Services
Comprehensive eye care for every stage of life.
From routine exams to ongoing care, we provide full-scope eye care in one clinic. We assess vision, detect and monitor eye conditions, and guide treatment with personalized care at every stage of life.
