Services

CATARACTS

A cataract is a condition where the lens of an eye becomes cloudy and affects vision.

PREMIUM INTRAOCULAR LENSES

Premium intraocular lens implants (IOLs) are a safe and effective means of restoring sight to patients undergoing cataract surgery.

REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE

Refractive lens exchange may be a preferable option to LASIK, PRK or phakic IOL refractive surgery.

IMPLANT CONTACT LENS

Phakic IOLs (intraocular lenses) are an alternative to LASIK and PRK eye surgery for correcting moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness).

DRY EYE CARE

Dry eye syndrome is a common cause of eye irritation. Artificial tears, gels and soothing ointments can help relieve symptoms.

DIABETIC EYE CARE

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a chronic, progressive, potentially sight-threatening disease of the retina.

RETINAL DISEASES AND TREATMENT

Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of the tiny veins in the retina becomes blocked by a blood clot.

EYELID DISEASE AND TREATMENT

Over time, our skin loses its elasticity and our muscles slacken with age— resulting in an accumulation of loose skin that collects as folds and creases.

EYE TRAUMA

Common eye injuries, such as deep puncture wounds, may require immediate treatment or surgery to prevent permanent eye damage.

GLAUCOMA TREATMENT

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve head.

VISION THERAPY

Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and customized program designed to correct certain vision problems and/or improve visual skills.

FAQs

Clinical appointments

How long does it take to process a non-urgent referral?

Referral was sent for Dr. Khan but why am I booked with a different doctor?

My doctor sent an urgent referral, why is my appointment booked on such a late date?

I was referred to another specialist by your office, why has no one contacted me?

How long will my appointment take?

What do I need to bring to my appointment?

Is my surgery going to be done on the same day as my consult?

I left a voicemail, but no one has gotten back to me yet.

Why do I have to see the technician?

What to expect at your visit?

After you register at the front desk, you will be called in by the technician.

The technician will go through your medical history and do any preliminary/ diagnostic testing required for your appointment. You may be given dilating drops at this point, which can cause your intermediate vision to be blurry, and can also cause light sensitivity for up to 4 hours.

You will then be taken to a room to be seen by the ophthalmologist.

Surgical appointments

I have my surgery date, when will I be given the time for my surgery?

What is the cost for cataract surgery (for hospital and private)?

How do I prepare for my surgery at the hospital?

Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery. Please arrive for the time instructed by the surgical department.

Do not wear any make-up or fragrances. We ask that you wash and shampoo your hair prior to surgery. The surgeons require that you must not drive after the procedure. If you take public transportation, please be accompanied by an adult. Exceptions may be made, depending on the type of procedure and anesthesia.

If you take medications for your blood pressure, please take them with only a sip of water the morning of your surgery.

If you take aspirin or other blood-thinners, please consult your general doctor to see if you can stop the aspirin two weeks prior to your surgery, at the discretion of your family doctor or cardiologist. Inform our office if there is a concern.

Please stop all herbal supplements and non-prescribed medications two weeks before the surgery (e.g., primrose oil, vitamin E, garlic, red clover, etc.)

If you are diabetic, do not take your diabetic medication on the day of surgery.
