Common Eye Diseases We Monitor & Manage

Our optometrists provide long-term care for a wide range of chronic and progressive eye conditions, including: 

Glaucoma Management 
We use intraocular pressure testing, visual field screening, and optic nerve imaging to detect and manage glaucoma before it causes vision loss. Early intervention is key to slowing its progression. 

Macular Degeneration (AMD) Monitoring 
We diagnose and track both dry and wet forms of AMD with OCT retinal scans and digital imaging. We also provide lifestyle and nutritional guidance to help reduce risk and manage symptoms. 

Cataract Evaluation 
If you’ve noticed glare, poor night vision, or cloudy sight, cataracts may be to blame. We assess cataract progression and refer for surgery when appropriate, and continue post-op co-management close to home. 

Diabetic Eye Exams 
Patients with diabetes are at higher risk for vision-threatening conditions like diabetic retinopathy. We offer diabetic eye exams in Waterdown, complete with retinal photography, to detect early changes and coordinate care with your family doctor or endocrinologist. 

Retinal Disease Monitoring 
We diagnose and monitor retinal detachments, retinal tears, vascular changes, and other posterior segment conditions using high-resolution imaging and ongoing assessment protocols.

Eye Exams That Put People First

We take time to explain, answer your questions, and make sure you understand every step of your care. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we aim to make your experience as clear and comfortable as possible. 

Our team also offers direct billing to most insurance plans, flexible scheduling, and longer appointments to give you the time and attention you deserve. 

How We Diagnose Eye Diseases

We rely on modern tools and detailed evaluations to detect signs of disease early, often before symptoms begin. Our diagnostics include: 

  • 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) 
  • Fundus photography and digital retinal imaging 
  • Visual field testing for peripheral vision loss 
  • Eye pressure measurement with iCare tonometry—no air puff
  • Axial length measurement for high myopia risk assessment 

These tools enable us to create personalized management plans that help preserve your vision and monitor your health.

Why Early Eye Disease Detection Matters

Many vision conditions progress slowly and without noticeable symptoms. Routine exams allow us to detect: 

  • Glaucoma before vision loss occurs 
  • Retinal damage caused by diabetes 
  • Early signs of AMD or cataracts 
  • Changes in your eye health related to age or systemic conditions 

If you are over 60, diabetic, or have a family history of eye disease, regular monitoring is essential. We help you stay proactive and give you peace of mind.
