New patients will require a referral letter from your family doctor or optometrist in order for us to book your initial visit.

​

Returning patients no longer require a re-referral if it has been more than six months since your last visit, unless otherwise specified by your family doctor.

• Care Card

• Medication list, eye drops, medication allergies

• Glasses (reading glasses included)

• A translator if needed

If you are scheduled to see the doctor that day, the appointment may take up to 2 hours.

For patients who only require visual field testing and/or eye measurements, the visit will be approximately 30 minutes. 

A complete and thorough eye exam requires your eyes to be dilated. The dilation effect lasts for approximately 1.5-2 hours. It is generally not recommended to drive during this time.

The doctor will assess your condition to determine whether you are a surgical candidate. If eligible, the surgeon will go over the details of the procedure you require, and our office will schedule a meeting for you to speak with our surgical counsellor before your procedure.

Routine eye exams are recommended every one year or less, for older patients depending on your eye health. Visits can be up to two years for younger patients.

Left untreated, certain ocular diseases can result in irreversible damage to your eyesight. If you are concerned or experiencing new visual symptoms, please feel free to contact our office to arrange an appointment.
