The core visit
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A full optometric eye exam checks visual acuity, refraction, eye coordination, peripheral vision, and the health of the front and back of each eye. The starting point for routine care.
Ocular Health Check
An examination of the eyelids, cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve to catch early signs of disease.
Plain English Findings
Results explained in language you can act on. No jargon, no pressure to upgrade to anything you do not need.
02
New and experienced wearers
Contact Lens Fittings
From first-time wearers to seasoned contact users with changing eyes. Daily, biweekly, and monthly lens options. A trial pair and a quick tutorial on insertion, removal, and lens care.
New Wearer Fittings
A trial pair, insertion and removal practice, and follow-up to confirm the fit feels right after a week of normal wear.
Lens Refits
If your current lenses no longer feel right, a refit reassesses curvature, prescription, and material before re-ordering.
Specialty Lenses
Multifocal, toric for astigmatism, and dry-eye-friendly daily lenses where appropriate.
03
Selection on site
Glasses and Frames
Frame selection and lens consultations at Westmount Centre. Single vision, progressives, anti-reflective coatings, and blue-light filters where appropriate. Take the prescription elsewhere if you prefer, no pressure.
