Digital Imaging

Your highly trained Total Eyecare Optometrist will use various technologies to examine all parts of your eyes, for the front to the very back. It is important to screen you for eye disease, many conditions do not give symptoms until they have robbed you of sight. Early detection is always our goal.

We invest in eyecare technologies that give us more information about the health of your eyes. Digital imaging gives us baseline results that are useful for future comparison. This gives us more certainty and allows detection of early significant changes.

Our Optometrists will recommmend imaging* to you if it will improve the quality of care they can give you.
