Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration early. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in precise contact lens assessments and fittings for various vision needs. Our process includes thorough eye measurements and follow-up care to ensure comfort and proper fit. Patients receive guidance on lens care and replacement schedules.
Ocular Health Assessments
These evaluations focus on detecting eye diseases and systemic health issues through detailed ocular examinations. We use digital imaging to monitor eye health changes over time. Early detection helps prevent vision loss from treatable conditions.
Laser Vision Correction
We provide pre- and post-operative care for laser vision correction procedures. Our assessments determine patient eligibility for LASIK or similar surgeries. We coordinate with surgical centers to ensure comprehensive care throughout the treatment process.
Digital Retina Imaging
This technology captures detailed images of the retina to identify abnormalities and track eye health. Non-invasive scans help detect diabetes-related eye changes and other conditions. Images create a permanent record for future comparisons.

Dr. Chan has been providing excellent care to me for over 5 years. I was unfortunate to have injured my eye while shaking a mat which caused corneal erosion. This led to nerve pain in my eye and further, migraine type headaches. With Dr. Chans care and help throughout, my recovery has been made much easier. When I needed further care, he was quick to contact the Ivey Clinic in London, which has supported my recovery over the past few years. If I need to have a question answered or further guidance in moving forward, Dr. Chan provides his e-mail address and responds so quickly. His responses are
