Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management
in VAUGHAN, THORNHILL, MAPLE, & RICHMOND HILL

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that affect the optic nerve, which sends messages from the eye to the brain.

The most common type is open-angle glaucoma, where excess fluid raises eye pressure. We use tonometry to test intraocular pressure.

Early symptoms of glaucoma often go unnoticed, resulting in gradual vision loss. However, some forms of glaucoma can develop rapidly, showing early symptoms like hazy vision, severe eye pain, or sudden sight loss.

Untreated glaucoma can cause blindness. Treatments to prevent vision loss include eye drops, oral medication, laser treatment, or a combination.

Later in life, many people will experience cataracts.

Cataracts appear as your eye’s lens becomes more rigid with age, affecting your vision with symptoms like blurry or foggy vision, washed-out colours, light sensitivity, and the feeling that there’s a film over your eye.

In its early stages, we can correct vision impacted by cataracts with an updated glasses or contact lens prescription. However, if it progresses to the point that it impairs your vision significantly, we may recommend cataract surgery, a safe and effective method for removing cataracts and restoring vision.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease among adults over 55. This disease slowly deteriorates your macula, the tiny but powerful part of your retina needed to maintain sharp central vision.

AMD appears in 2 forms: dry and wet. Dry AMD, the more common of the 2, slowly thins your macula as the disease progresses. With wet AMD, the macula swells due to abnormal blood vessels in your retina breaking and leaking. Wet AMD can cause irreparable vision loss.

We can easily look for signs of AMD during your eye exam to help prevent any future vision loss.
