During the eye exam
The optometrist will carry out a thorough examination of your eyes to make sure you have the correct glasses or contact lenses prescription and to evaluate the health of your eyes. The optometrist will pay particular attention to the latter and carry out specific tests appropriate to your age group.
the exam
The scanner and the digital retina camera, which produces high-resolution images of the retina, are used for the early detection of eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and eye conditions associated with diabetes. The OPD Scan III is a state-of-the-art scanner capable to take tens of thousands of measurements in a matter of seconds that allow to quickly and accurately detect dry eye. Advanced imaging is included in the cost of a basic exam. However, they are not included when the basic exam is covered by the "Régie d'assurance maladie du Québec" (RAMQ)
Complete digital analysis
Unique in Montreal, VU includes the use of their OCT scanner, retinal camera, aberrometer and corneal topographer (OPD SCAN III) with every eye exam. Our state-of-the-art equipment creates a precise map of the eye’s layers to diagnose problems like dry eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy and often before symptoms manifests.
Also known Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), this scanner provides very precise images of the different layers of the retina. These images can be used to detect early signs of eye disorders, including certain diseases of the retina and optic nerve glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, and this before the symptoms manifest themselves. The use of the optical coherence tomographie scanner also makes it possible to properly refer cases to an ophthalmologist and to perform a better follow-up, if a problem is detected. VU offers you the most complete eye exam in Montreal there is, with experienced optometrists.
