Eye Examination and Diagnoses

Macular Degeneration

Using the latest technology including retinal scanning and OCT, we are able to take an in depth look into your eyes and assess your eye health.

Glaucoma Exam

Diagnosis consists of having regular eye tests, which includes a pressure measurement and visual field testing to enable early detection of possible problems.

Keratoconus Exam

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. If detected, our optometrists can explain treatments available.

Diabetic Exam

The health of the retina is very dependent on a good blood supply to the eye. Regular eye tests, when diagnosed with Diabetes, will reduce risk of vision loss and blindness.
