What is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
What Do We Look For?
Our Eye Doctors are always on the lookout for various vascular diseases (like signs of Diabetes), but also Myopia, Hyperopia, Presbyopia and the more common forms of Astigmatism.
Here is a comprehesive list of what we scan for and what we can treat or address directly.
|
Conditions We Scan For OCT Scans Included in Every Eye Exam |
Conditions We Treat | Conditions We Refer |
|
Vascular Diseases such as Diabetes and High Blood Pressure |
We always monitor all vision and eye related health conditions for treatment or referral |
We do not treat Daibetes or High Blood Pressure but will refer you to your GP or Specialist. |
|
Myopia, Myperopia, Presbyopia and Astigmatism |
We treat all of these conditions with our current staff of eye doctors. |
Only in specific situations do we refer for these matters. |
|
Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Kerataconous, Floaters |
We monitor the progression of these conditions but refer for treatment or surgery. |
These are conditions that are treated by an eye specialist. |
Eye Exams for Everyone
We provide comprehensive eye exams and eye care for adults, children and seniors, in addition to providing eye specialist services with Dr. Diep. We also provide treatment and assessments for dry eyes, myopia control, orthokeratology (“ortho-k”), and post surgery monitoring.
$0 Eye Exams for KIDS
All children (18 years old and younger) receive $0 eye exams every single year. Just bring in your B.C. Care Card or MSP number to qualify. We care deeply about our kids and seniors and will never apply “extra fees” like most other optometrists and eye care centre. We do eye care differently.
Dry Eye Assessments & Treatments
We provide dry eye assessments and treatments. This includes actual Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF) treatments that can help alleviate and remove your dry eye symptoms. Eye care goes beyond just getting eye exams, it also includes making your eyes healthier and more comfortable.
Myopia Control & Ortho-K Treatment
One important eye care treatment we can provide to children is that of comprehensive Myopia Control, which prevents the degredation of a child’s vision as they age. This can truly help children who are prone to profound changes to their vision.
We also provide Ortho-K treatment both for children as part of Myopia treatment and for adults to allow them to alleviate vision issues in their daily life both improving vision without eyewear and possibly allowing adults to participate in sports or other activities without the need for eyeglasses.
Eye Specialist Services On-Site
As part of our total eye care services, we provide access to an esteemed eye (retina) specialist, Dr. Diep. This enables our Optometrists to refer eye care patients for further treatment that can only be provided by an Eye Specialist without having to many months, as with other eye care centres. In many cases you can see Dr. Diep within just a few weeks. This also enables our Optometrists to work directly with our Eye Specialist.
