Our doctors provide comprehensive eye examinations for both adults and children. The comprehensive eye exam includes testing visual acuity (including refraction), checking the health of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) structures of the eye as well as checking for glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts and other eye diseases.
If you have any vascular problems such as diabetes or hypertension the doctor will check to see if it is affecting your eye’s health. We also work with a network of qualified specialists to whom we can refer if you have a condition that is outside the scope of our practice.
We accept most vision plans, including University of Windsor student plans.
We recommend that our patients include an optomap as part of your comprehensive eye exam.
