OUR SERVICES

Comprehensive eye examinations

Our practice is commited to protecting your eye health with the most advanced technology available. Our examination includes corneal mapping, retinal photography, eye pressure testing for glaucoma and the iWellnessExam (OCT).

iWellnessExam

This state-of-the-art technology uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for us to see beneath the surface of your retina. Like an MRI or CT scan it provides details of structures not visible with other tests. It enables us to detect very early signs of vision threatening disease, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and others.

Macular Pigment Screener (MPSII)

Clinical evidence supports the fact that low macular pigment optical density (MPOD) is a potential biomarker of macular degeneration. Screening for low MPOD using the MPSII is currently the best way to identify patients at risk of macular degeneration. Since lutein and zeaxanthin play a key role in protecting against the risk, supplementation can then be recommended.

ORTHOKERATOLOGY

Ortho-K (short for Orthokeratology) is a revolutionary therapy which involves a custom designed contact lenses, worn overnight, to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. It uses the forces of the eyelid and tear fluid beneath the lens to gently reshape the top layers of the cornea. Upon waking, you remove the lens and can enjoy seeing clearly without the hassle of contact lenses or spectacles during the day! It is mostly used for shortsighted patients and has been proven to be very successful to slow down or halt the progression of myopia (shortsightedness) in children.

MYOPIA CONTROL

Myopia (shortsightedness) in kids tends to progress or get worse throughout
childhood, and higher levels of myopia are associated with higher eye disease risks in adulthood. If your child already wears glasses, you can do something to stop their vision worsening.

Treatment options include specific types of spectacle lenses, soft contact lenses, ortho-k and atropine drops. We can help to find the best option for your child by considering their prescription, eye health, activities and what best suits your family.

Visual Therapy for Children

Elsie & Hayley have a special interest in the visual needs of children and offer a comprehensive eye examination and where necessary, provide exercises for visual skills enhancement.
