Thorough Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect conditions like glaucoma and cataracts early. The exam includes personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide precise contact lens fittings for various prescriptions, including specialty lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia. Our optometrists ensure comfort and proper fit through detailed corneal mapping and follow-up evaluations.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our dry eye treatment combines advanced diagnostics with customized therapies like artificial tears, lid hygiene, or prescription medications. We address underlying causes such as environmental factors or meibomian gland dysfunction to provide lasting relief.
Emergency Eye Care
We offer urgent care for eye injuries, infections, or sudden vision changes. Our team provides immediate assessment and treatment for conditions like corneal abrasions, foreign body removal, and acute glaucoma episodes.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Specialized exams for children assess visual development, eye coordination, and learning-related vision skills. We use age-appropriate techniques to detect amblyopia, strabismus, or refractive errors early for optimal treatment outcomes.

Very Experienced doctor, professional, all staff are so polite & helpful. If you are new in Canada & need to go eye hospital but getting trouble with fast English speakers? No worry, go this place without interpreter, they communicate slow & very simple ways. Great place...

Had a field eye test last year. Found out at the end of the test they re-use the eye shield you wear during the test. How disgusting is that. Everything is disposable today as it should be. When I asked the lady about this, she said we wipe them clean. Never saw that happen. Unacceptable.

Had a very bad service experience - my prescription safety glasses don't fit at all (they fall off if i tilt my head forward, rather defeats the purpose) and i was told "we can't help with that"
Scott Coburn downtown Guelph had no difficulty with fitting an earlier pair with the same frame. Lesson learned, stay downtown for eyecare.
