Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, refractive errors, and ocular health using advanced diagnostic tools. We check for glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal conditions while identifying systemic issues like diabetes. Exams are tailored for all ages, from children's vision development to seniors' age-related concerns.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide precise contact lens fittings including toric and bifocal lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia. Our optometrists ensure optimal comfort and vision correction through digital measurements and trial lenses. Follow-up assessments guarantee long-term eye health with contact use.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced treatments address chronic dry eye symptoms through tear film analysis and personalized plans. Options include medicated drops, punctal plugs, and lifestyle adjustments to improve tear production and ocular surface health for lasting relief.
Laser Vision Correction
We offer pre-operative consultations for LASIK and other laser procedures. Comprehensive evaluations determine candidacy while coordinating post-operative care with specialist surgeons to ensure safe, effective vision improvement outcomes.
Children's Eye Exams
Specialized assessments detect amblyopia, strabismus, and focusing issues in young patients. Early intervention prevents developmental vision problems through corrective lenses and vision therapy programs that support academic and physical development milestones.
Questions
How often should I get an eye exam?
Adults should have exams every 1-2 years, while children need annual checks. Patients with diabetes or family eye history require more frequent monitoring as recommended by our optometrists.
Do you offer emergency eye care services?
We handle urgent red-eye cases and ocular injuries during regular hours. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting local hospital eye departments for immediate attention.
What's included in a comprehensive eye exam?
Our exams assess visual acuity, refractive errors, eye muscle coordination, intraocular pressure, and retinal health. We also screen for systemic conditions like hypertension and diabetes through ocular indicators.
Can you help with computer vision syndrome?
Yes, we provide specialized lens coatings and ergonomic advice to reduce digital eye strain. Our optometrists recommend blue light filtering lenses and 20-20-20 rule implementation for computer-intensive work.
Do you accept vision insurance?
We provide detailed receipts for insurance claims but do not directly bill providers. Most extended health plans cover annual eye exams and portion of eyewear costs – check your specific policy benefits.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, debit, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express for eyewear purchases and services. Payment is required at time of service unless prior financial arrangements have been made.

I went to see Dr. Fernando about my general eye health and the state of my cataracts. I had previously seen an ophthalmologist in Oshawa and I did not feel my concerns were taken seriously; I felt brushed off. Dr. Fernando was very thorough; he *listened* and then took the time to go over the visuals of my eyes on his computer. It was very *reassuring* to know what is going on with my eyesight. He has referred me on re my cataracts. In the future I will be a loyal patient of Dr. Fernando. Highly recommended!

I WANT TO GIVE A ZERO RATING BUT IT WONT LET ME.
Horrible customer service!!! Dr Peter Chan is great, but his staff are clueless.. useless.. unprofessional.. and under trained.
waited over a month for contact lenses. they never called to tell us our son's glasses were ready for pick up... I called every week to get an update on my lenses. when they were finally in.. I was told I could go pick them up.. when i arrived the next day,, i was told i had to have a "LENS FITTING" but the doctor was not in?!?!?.. I proceeded to pay for the LENS FITTING that I did not receive.. just to get my new lenses

I went in for my eye exam and was greeted very kindly by the 2 receptionists. First one did some eye tests. Then both receptionists helped me pick out 2 pairs of eye frames for after my appointment. Then Dr Fernando came and got me and did the rest of my eye tests. He is very kind and answered all my questions. All in all my appointment went very well with no stress. Thank you to Dr Fernando and his receptionists!

I have been seeing Dr. Fernando for a long time and have nothing but good things to say about him and his team. I have always received excellent service as well as very competitive prices, for my glasses, which I do not purchase anywhere else. This is a great one stop shop for both prescription and sun glasses. Thank you Dr. Fernando and team as well as keep up the good service! Looking forward to receiving my new prescription glasses as well as my next check up.
Cheers,
Paul.

I had put off getting glasses for probably far too long and only visited DR Fernando when I could no longer see my phone or computer screens without the aid of some grocery store readers. The doctor set me up with a proper pair of computer glasses and I now realize how far gone my vision actually was and I can work and read without battling double vision, blurring and distorted vision! Thank you to the doctor and his team!
