Eye Exams

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate both your vision and overall eye health. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we check for refractive errors, assess eye function, and screen for early signs of eye diseases. Regular exams help ensure clear vision and long-term eye health.

Children's eyes are still growing and changing, so it is vital that children get their eyes checked regularly. It is recommended that children have a Comprehensive Eye Exams once a year starting at 6 months old. Children are covered for their exams up to the age of 19.

For adults, a Comprehensive Eye Exam is recommended every 1-2 years. If you have a heath condition such as diabetes or glaucoma, you may be eligible for more frequent exams and OHIP coverage. At your eye exam, we will recommend a schedule tailored to you.

Pediatric Eye Exams

Vision plays a big role in early development. Dr. Liu and the Canadian Association of Optometrists recommend children have their first eye exam at six months; even without knowing their ABC’s or being able to speak, there are many other child-friendly ways to evaluate vision and health.

Children may not always tell us something is wrong with their vision because they may not have the experience needed to recognize a vision problem. Here at See Beyond, Dr. Liu provides a fun environment for your child to have their first eye exam so they look forward to returning every year!

We are proud participants of the Ontario Association of Optometrists Eye See…Eye Learn® program. Doctors of Optometry recommend that children have their eyes examined at 6 months; 3 years of age and then yearly after starting school because vision changes can occur rapidly as they grow.

If your child is attending a Junior or Senior Kindergarten program (Public; Catholic; Private; Day Care and even home schooled are eligible) in an Eye See…Eye Learn® region, they can receive one free pair of glasses with their OHIP-covered eye exam, if prescribed by a participating OAO Doctor of Optometry.

Diabetes + Ocular Diseases

Diabetes Assessment

Diabetes can affect the health of your eyes, making regular eye exams essential for early detection of diabetic eye disease. During a diabetic eye assessment, we carefully examine the retina and blood vessels for any signs of damage. Early diagnosis and monitoring help protect vision and support long-term eye health.

Diabetes Management

After your initial assessment, consistent monitoring plays a key role in maintaining your eye health. We track changes over time through regular exams and advanced imaging, allowing for early intervention when needed. Our goal is to help you manage diabetic eye conditions proactively and preserve your vision for the future.

Management of Ocular Diseases

We provide ongoing monitoring and management for common eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. Through regular testing and imaging, we track changes in eye health and work to slow disease progression. Early detection and consistent care are key to preserving vision.

Contact Lens Fitting

Contact lenses are thin, medical devices that sit directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision. They provide a convenient alternative to glasses, offering clear, natural vision without frames and allowing for greater flexibility during daily activities, sports, and special occasions.

There are many types of contact lenses available, including daily, bi-weekly, and monthly options, as well as lenses designed for specific vision needs. During your visit, we help determine the most suitable option based on your prescription, lifestyle, and eye health.

What is a Contact Lens Fitting?

Contact lenses are medical devices, and a proper fit is essential to ensure clear vision, long-term comfort, and overall eye health. During your fitting, we carefully assess your eyes and prescription, and you may have the opportunity to try different types of lenses to find the option that provides the best vision and feels most comfortable for your lifestyle.

Our team provides hands-on guidance, teaching you how to safely insert and remove your lenses with confidence. We also offer contact lens fittings for children and take the time to educate both patients and parents on proper handling, hygiene, and lens care. With a strong focus on eye health and safety, we ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way.

Advanced Imaging Technology

As part of our specialty eye care services, we use advanced imaging technology to provide a detailed and comprehensive view of your eye health. These tools allow us to detect early signs of eye conditions and monitor changes over time with greater accuracy and confidence.

Digital Retinal Imaging

Digital retinal imaging captures high-resolution photographs of the back of the eye, including the retina and blood vessels. These images help us identify early signs of eye disease and create a baseline for tracking your eye health over time.

3D-OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

3D-OCT is an advanced scanning technology that provides cross-sectional images of the retina, allowing us to see beneath the surface of the eye. This detailed view helps detect and monitor conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration at an earlier stage.

Red Eye / Dry Eye Treatment

Red or irritated eyes can be caused by a variety of conditions, including dry eye, allergies, infections, or inflammation. We provide thorough evaluations to determine the underlying cause and ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Our clinic offers a range of treatment options, including specialized eye drops, prescription medications, and tailored management plans based on your specific needs. Whether your symptoms are occasional or chronic, our goal is to relieve discomfort, improve tear quality, and restore clear, comfortable vision.

LASIK Surgery Consult and Co-Management

If you are considering laser vision correction, we offer comprehensive LASIK consultations to determine whether you are a suitable candidate. During your consultation, we assess your vision, eye health, corneal shape, and prescription stability to ensure the procedure is both safe and appropriate for your needs. We also take the time to discuss your lifestyle, expectations, and answer any questions you may have about the process.

We work closely with trusted, experienced surgeons to coordinate your care every step of the way. From pre-operative preparation to post-operative follow-up, our team provides ongoing monitoring to ensure proper healing and optimal visual outcomes. Our goal is to guide you through the process with confidence, clarity, and personalized care.

Cataract Surgery Consult and Co-Management

Cataracts can gradually affect your vision, causing blurriness, glare, and difficulty with everyday activities such as reading or driving. We provide comprehensive cataract assessments to evaluate the clarity of your lens, overall eye health, and the extent to which cataracts are impacting your vision. During your consultation, we take the time to discuss your symptoms, lifestyle needs, and whether surgery is the most appropriate next step.

If surgery is recommended, we work closely with trusted, experienced surgeons to coordinate your care throughout the entire process. From pre-operative evaluations to post-operative follow-up visits, our team ensures your eyes are healing properly and your vision is progressing as expected. Our goal is to provide a smooth, well-supported experience while helping you achieve the best possible visual outcome.
