The clinic offers a comprehensive approach to eye care, gathering all the optometric services you need under one roof: eye exams, eyeware, soft contact lenses, specialty contact lenses, myopia management, dry eye treatment, vision therapy, glaucoma management, and colour-deficient correction (Enchroma glasses).I was responsible for running our advanced dry eye clinic, performing the treatments, and patient education. We used Lipiflow, and InMide for RF and IPL treatment. For our specialty patients, we did full spectrum specialty testing, including OCT, Visual Fields, Topography, and ultra wide digital retinal imaging. Every patient that comes in for an exam has AR and ultra wide imaging so we can best detect changes over time and foresee any diseases that a regular eye exam simply cannot until it's progressed.I accidentally became the office IT guy and the office decorator just by trying to be helpful! Any time patients came into our clinic, our goal was to give them the best treatment, diagnosis and care, while making sure the environment is comfortable.
