For physicians
Referring a Patient
I work with family physicians, paediatricians and endocrinologists in Vaughan and Richmond Hill. Refer your patients for myopia management, diabetic eye exams or dry eye care, and I'll send you a report after their visit.
Myopia management
Children with myopia
Refer children whose nearsightedness is getting worse, or who need a stronger prescription each year.
- Myopia control glasses and daily contact lenses
- Low-dose atropine eye drops
- Overnight ortho-k lenses
- Regular progress checks
Diabetic eye exams
Patients with diabetes
Yearly dilated eye exams to screen for diabetic retinopathy. OHIP covers one eye exam every 12 months for patients with diabetes.
- Dilated retinal exam and retinal imaging
- OCT scans when needed
- A report back to you after each exam
Dry eye care
Dry eye disease
Patients with dry, gritty, burning or watery eyes, or who struggle to wear contact lenses.
- Dry eye and meibomian gland assessment
- In-office IPL treatment
