Services
Your eyes are beautiful. Good Vision begins with healthy eyes.
Eye Exams
A comprehensive Eye Exam will consist of the following:
Visual acuity testing to measure the clarity of your sight
Refractive evaluation to diagnose your refractive error
Eye muscle testing to identify deficiencies in eye movements
Color vision analysis to identify an inability to distinguish certain colors
Binocular vision assessment to ensure that both eyes are working well together
Glaucoma testing to measure intra-ocular fluid pressure
Examination of the front part of eye including the cornea, iris, lens and surrounding tissues
Examination of the back of your eye, retina, and underlying blood vessels
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
This machine provides a high-resolution 3D scan of the layers within the cornea, retina, or optic nerve to identify abnormalities and diseases inside the eye.
This technology helps detect Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Macular Holes & Diabetic Retinopathy
Computerized VISUAL FIELD to measure blind spots within one’s vision for early detection of Glaucoma, optic nerve damage. Neurological testing for Pituitary tumors
Medical Exams
Our office utilizes the latest technologies to diagnose and treat patients of all ages. Computerized examination instruments are used to supplement rather than replace personalized care. Examinations include tests for dry eye syndrome, ocular allergies, computer vision syndrome, and the ocular effects of many general health disorders.
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
This machine provides a high-resolution 3D scan of the layers within the cornea, retina, or optic nerve to identify abnormalities and diseases inside the eye.
This technology allows our doctors to view the retina & help detect macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal holes or detachments as well as systemic diseases such as diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure.
Other Services
We also provide:
– computerized VISUAL FIELD testing for optic nerve damage or macular function (30 degrees and 10 degrees)
– digital retina photography for tracking structural integrity of the optic nerve, macula, retinal blood vessels & surrounding tissues
– LASIK or PRK laser vision refractive surgery co-management
– the HRT3 (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph) exam for early detection of glaucoma-related change in the optic nerve head. The HRT3 is a high resolution laser that takes a series of 3-D scans of the optic nerve and measures up to 28 million individual points per exam.
– Myopia-control therapies consultation & prescribing (e.g. Carl Zeiss Myovision lenses, atropine therapy, hi-add multifocal contact lenses)
– *NEW 2019* OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography, including FAF-fundus autofluorescence & EN FACE features) is a non-invasive imaging test using light waves to scan the deep cellular layers of the retina for thickness & structural change due to diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine drug toxicity, glaucoma etc.
– *NEW 2020-2021* Individualized counseling or guidance on scientifically-backed nutritional & dietary intervention to prevent and combat common eye diseases, that are not taught extensively in optometry/medical schools
Dr. Edward Chan is an authorized low vision provider with the ADP (assistive devices program) run by the Ministry of Health of Ontario. Certain eye conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma etc. can cause irreversible damage to the eye leaving a person legally blind.
In low vision cases, ordinary eyeglasses have limits. The doctor prescribes and fits high powered telescopes, microscopes, filters and magnifiers to help restore some vision. A low vision person may be able to regain the ability to perform some daily activities again such as reading.
