Comprehensive Eye Exams in London & Glencoe. Book Yours Today.

You’ll Be Amazed at What We See

There’s more to eye health than good vision (although that’s a big part of it). Many eye diseases, from vision-stealing glaucoma to sight-destroying macular degeneration, often progress for months or even years before presenting noticeable symptoms.

That’s why the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) recommends healthy adults have their eyes examined every one to two years.

What Are We Looking For?

A comprehensive eye exam – the kind that we provide at both our London and Glencoe offices – assesses your visual acuity (how well you see) and monitors your eye health.

Tests Performed During the Eye Exam

Diagnostic tests

Retinal imaging – A high-resolution image of your inner-eye is taken. This image includes key areas, notably the retina and macula. Macular degeneration, blood vessel abnormalities, scar tissue, seepage, and other signs of disease are clearly visible (if present).
Intraocular pressure (IOP) -Abnormal IOP is a common sign of many different types of glaucoma.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) – OCT imaging is a powerful and extremely precise tool that provides detailed images of your optic nerve, retina, and other inner-eye structures. Glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other vision-threatening eye diseases are all detectable using OCT.
Binocular function – The ability of your eyes to work together is assessed.
Field of view/peripheral vision – A decreased field of view can be a symptom of glaucoma, which if left undetected, erodes peripheral vision (slowly causing tunnel vision).

Refractive errors & vision correction

The optometrist will check your visual acuity and visual field. They will also determine what optical prescription (if any) is needed to correct your vision.

Other Vision Services

Contact lenses

If you currently wear glasses and are interested in trying contact lenses, please make an appointment for a consultation with one of our optometrists. During this consultation the optometrist will check your eye health (to make sure your eyes are healthy enough for contact lens wear) as well as measure your eyes to determine the lens design that will provide you with good vision, comfort and continued eye health.

Laser and other Refractive eye surgery

Many refractive errors can be corrected via laser or other refractive eye surgeries. In London, several surgeries are performed: LASIK, PRK, RLE and ICLs. Each has their pros and cons, as well as eligibility requirements.

If you are interested in learning more about laser and refractive eye surgery, please book a consultation to meet with one of our optometrists. You can read more about laser eye surgery here.
