Corneal Topography
The main function of a corneal topographer is to create a 3D topography map of the cornea (the clear, front window of the eye). This helps us to diagnose and monitor corneal conditions such as keratoconus, and also greatly assists with fitting contact lenses, especially hard (or RGP) lenses and OrthoK lenses. Our corneal topographer can also take photos and videos of the front surface of the eye to better assess and monitor dry eyes and other conditions that affect the front part of the eye.
Are your eyes ready for Summer?
We love Summer! With Summer comes sunshine, but with sunshine comes UV - especially in our beautiful part of the world. We are accustomed to being sun smart with our skin, but it is also important to protect our eyes properly from harmful UV. So if you are looking for new sunglasses this Summer, it’s important to keep eye protection in mind as well as style.
Nano Vista
We know that children are restless by nature. They run, jump, play, and need glasses that adapt to them, and resist the rough and tumble that comes with being a kid.

Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT greatly assists in diagnosing and monitoring of glaucoma and macular diseases such as age related macular degeneration, and allows us to detect subtle changes over time.
Ultra Widefield Retinal Imaging
It is not only a valuable tool for detecting and diagnosing the earliest signs of retinal disease, it also allows us to compare images over time to look for even the most subtle of changes.
