COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMS
We’re equipped to diagnose and manage Diabetes. Small blood vessels (aka the microvasculature) impacted by Diabetes are easily visualized using retinal photography and scans. Once Diabetes is diagnosed, the retina must be regularly monitored to aid in the detection of poor blood sugar control. Retinal changes are graded and, if necessary, patients are referred to their primary care physician or a retinal specialist.
Our Restorative Dry Eye Clinic offers a wide variety of treatment options to combat troublesome dry eye symptoms. We do more than simply prescribe drops or hot compresses. Click here for more information.
We are equipped to diagnose and manage glaucoma. Once diagnosed, we work with patients to manage the condition with the help of prescription eyedrops and regular monitoring. In cases that require it, we refer patients to a specialist to obtain medical laser treatment or surgery when indicated.
Patients undergoing eye surgery can have their pre- and post-operative care conveniently managed at our clinic with all relevant information forwarded to their specialist. We are here to ensure that you heal well and that you don’t encounter any unforeseen difficulties with your recovery.

qUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR EYE HEALTH? WE'RE HERE TO HELP
HOLY BROW! Eye don’t mean to lash out and create a spectacle, but what’s with all the puns???
Some serious talk for a minute. We’d like to eyelight some truly eyeballing behaviour. You know what we mean. It’s scarcely possible to see the eye doctor anymore without encountering at least one pun so bad it makes you want to cry. And this trend is spreading like an iris as far as the eye can see!
For example, you may have noticed optometrists going out of their way to ch
se words they can spell with glasses – could there be any lower hanging frt? Trends like these are starting to lk a little worse for stare. And it reflects prly on the whole industry. After all, we’re only as strong as our weakest blink.
One or two is okay, but too many puns make patients question whether the doctor really cares or has coned it in and is just going view the motions. If you want a change of seenery, look no further! You won’t eye-spy any eye-puns at this clinic. No sir-eye bob. We derive our specs appeal from not blurring the line between cornea jokes and professional compeyetance.
As the seeing goes, there’s a perception to every rule. And when it comes to your glasses, lk no further than Old Street Optometry for a pun-free eyecare experience. As our doctor says: “That’s just how eye roll!”
