All contact lenses need a prescription—even colored contact lenses.

Contact lenses purchased and worn without a prescription from an eye doctor can cause complications for your eye health. Whether they’re meant to correct your vision or just change the colour of your eyes, it’s essential to get your contacts from your eye doctor.

Book a contact lens fitting today to get lenses suited to your needs.

During the early stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), your vision might not be affected, but eventually, your central vision can start to fade and disappear as the disease progresses.
During intermediate stages, you may experience blurry vision and difficulty recognizing faces. Straight lines may appear wavy as well.
During the late stages of AMD, you may start to develop a blind spot—a dark, empty area—in your central vision.

Routine eye exams are crucial for catching and treating AMD before it causes vision loss.

Retinal imaging allows for precise visualization of the back of your eye, including the retina and optic nerve. By capturing high-resolution images, it can help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and macular degeneration.

Regular checkups are key to maintaining healthy vision. Ask your eye doctor about the benefits of retinal imaging during your next visit.

Glaucoma is often called "the silent thief of sight" because it can go undetected until it causes vision loss.

Adults with increased eye pressure, a family history of glaucoma, and those over 40 may be at an increased risk of developing glaucoma. Getting routine, comprehensive eye exams is important if you are at risk. An eye exam can spot glaucoma early and provide an opportunity for early treatment that can help preserve your vision.
