We invest in advanced equipment to ensure the highest standard of care for our patients.
In the rapidly changing landscape of healthcare, technological advancements have profoundly influenced the methods we use to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. Specifically, eye care has benefited from significant technological improvements that enhance diagnostic accuracy. Providing crisp vision through the most current prescription is just one aspect of a comprehensive eye exam. At Comly Eye Care, we employ advanced technology such as retinal photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing to detect, monitor, and manage various eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.

Retinal Imaging
Retinal imaging employs specialized cameras and scanners to capture clear, enlarged images of the back of the eye. This technique enhances diagnostic accuracy and assists in monitoring subtle progressive changes. Please note that retinal imaging is not covered by OHIP.
-
FAF Imaging
Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a non-invasive technique that captures the natural "glow" of lipofuscin in the retina. This helps us visualize the health of the retinal pigment epithelium, crucial for photoreceptor function. FAF aids in early detection and monitoring of macular degeneration, retinal diseases, and drug toxicities, providing valuable insights into your overall eye health

OCT
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-contact imaging technique using light waves to obtain cross-sectional scans of the retina. It provides detailed visualization of retinal layers and the optic nerve, assisting in the diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. OCT enables eye care professionals to detect and monitor ocular diseases in their earliest stages, allowing for informed treatment decisions. Please note that OCT is not covered by OHIP..

Visual Field Testing
Peripheral vision, also known as side or indirect vision, refers to the sight occurring outside the center of gaze. One can have good central vision while experiencing peripheral vision loss, commonly referred to as "Tunnel Vision." Visual field testing detects this loss early, allowing for more effective treatment. Causes of peripheral vision loss include glaucoma, brain damage, optic nerve compression, detached retina, and retinal occlusions. This test is usually covered under OHIP.
