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.

Winter sun + snow = double the UV exposure for your eyes!
Many people don't realize that photokeratitis (corneal sunburn) is just as likely on snowy days as sunny beach days. The reflection amplifies UV damage significantly.
Quality sunglasses aren't just a summer accessory. They're essential eye protection every season. Look for lenses that block both UVA and UVB rays for complete coverage.

Oil gland dysfunction affects tear production and eyelid health, creating conditions that allow bacteria to thrive. 😲
This means treating just the stye without addressing the underlying dry eye often leads to recurring problems.
Our comprehensive eye exams can identify meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye symptoms early. With proper diagnosis, we can create a treatment plan that addresses both concerns.

COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATION
We use the latest technology to perform the most accurate and thorough comprehensive eye examination.
We initially do a thorough investigation to determine the most accurate prescription to correct any visual problems correctable by glasses or contact lenses. We then do a thorough assessment of the health of the eye to detect if any diseases are present or developing. Early detection of eye diseases is critical in maintaining good eye health and preventing visual loss. All of our doctors are trained and certified in ocular therapeutics. If surgical treatment is required we will promptly refer patients requiring such. We also co-manage patients seeking Lasik surgery.
ADVANCED RETINAL IMAGING
We offer advanced retinal imaging which takes digital pictures of the back of the eye to determine your current eye condition.
Using the latest technology available, the doctors at Stoney Creek Optometry are able to capture, examine and review these images with you during your eye exam. Retinal images are captured in less than a second and nothing will touch your eyes. Retinal photos are critical as they detect, measure and alert our optometrists of any potential health risks, including early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, macular degeneration and glaucoma.
CORRECTIVE EYE SURGERY
We will give you a thorough assessment during your eye exam to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Lasik surgery.
We will then discuss with you the advantages and disadvantages of Lasik surgery. Should you decide to proceed we work with the top Lasik clinics in Hamilton and Toronto and will co-manage your surgery with the chosen clinic.
