Comprehensive Eye Exams in Brampton, ON

Our fundus camera complements our Optomap retinal imaging equipment to provide closeups of some of the most important structures of your eye. This colour image helps us in diagnosing and documenting conditions including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and retinal detachment.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans allow us to see a cross-section of the retina and optic nerve, which is essential in the diagnosis of a number of eye conditions. These include:

• Macular edema
• Age-related macular degeneration
• Glaucoma
• Diabetic retinopathy

The Oculus Keratograph is a non-invasive, high-definition colour camera used to diagnose various types of dry eyes. It’s effective for examining the meibomian glands, evaluating the lipid. The Oculus Keratograph is a non-invasive, high-definition colour camera used to diagnose various types of dry eyes. It’s effective for examining the meibomian glands, evaluating the lipid layer, assessing the tear film break-up time, and measuring the tear meniscus height. It also takes a detailed topography of the eye’s surface that can show astigmatism.

The Humphrey Visual Field Test is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses lights to map your visual field. You’ll be directed to focus on a centre point and click a button when you see the lights. It’s used to diagnose and monitor patients with glaucoma.

Macular pigment optical density (MPOD) is a measurement of macular pigment in the centre of the retina. It works as a filter for the eye, protecting the macula from blue light and reducing stress-induced damage. 

By measuring your MPOD, we can evaluate your risk for developing age-related macular degeneration and other retinal diseases.

Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) is an aesthetic treatment used to improve the look of scars, age spots, fine lines, and spider veins by targeting light on the troublesome areas. It’s also been revealed to be effective for treating dry eyes. 

It works by expressing meibum in the meibomian glands and coagulating blood vessels, reducing inflammation that can contribute to dry eye symptoms.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is an effective treatment for dry eye, particularly when meibomian gland dysfunction is present. This non-invasive procedure uses specially designed lights to warm up the eyelids, allowing any clogs in the meibomian glands to liquefy.

Unclogged, the meibomian glands can produce the oil needed to keep the tear film healthy and the eyes hydrated. The process is quick—each session usually takes about 15 minutes—and well-tolerated by most patients.
