Eye Condition Treatment

Eye problems can range from mild to severe; some are chronic, while others may resolve on their own, never to appear again. The articles below will give you a basic understanding of some of these problems and their implications. The cardinal rule is if your eyes don’t look good, feel good or see well, you should visit your doctor.

The following is a short list of common eye conditions we treat, such as astigmatism, dry eye syndrome and presbyopia. For information about cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy please see Eye Disease Management.

  • Astigmatism
    Astigmatism is a very common eye condition that's easily corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses and on some occasions, surgery.
  • Dry Eyes
    Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that develops when your eyes do not produce and maintain enough tears to keep the eye’s surface lubricated.
  • Presbyopia Treatment
    As we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to start to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is because with age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and eventually it happens to some extent, to everyone as they age.

Our optometry office is included in healthcare services in Ontario deemed essential and permitted to stay open during the “stay-at-home” order.

We remain open to welcome you for routine optometric care including eye exams, contact lens care, and eyeglass dispensing.

We are committed to protecting your health and safety by maintaining controlled entry, temperature screening, hand sanitizing stations throughout the office, and mandatory masks as well as dedicated entrance/exit points. Doctors and staff will wear face masks and other personal protective equipment, in addition to adopting rigorous disinfection procedures.

Appointments are required to enter the office, in order to limit the number of patients and allow for social distancing. To ensure your safety and that of our team, entrance will be denied to anyone who does not have a booked appointment or to anyone who fails the COVID screening questionnaire. Please call our office to confirm hours and to schedule an appointment.
