Children 19 years or younger and adults 65 years or older are covered by OHIP for an eye exam once every year. 

Complete digital imaging

At Dr. Fabian Tai & Associates, we want to provide the best care to our patients, which is why we incorporate the newest technologies of the industry in our eye examinations. A dilated eye examination is important to assess the health inside the eyes to determine if there are any diseases that can affect your vision or your body. But by using our digital imaging technology, we can better detect, manage and monitor for change for many eye conditions, such as: 

1. Glaucoma

2. Macular Degeneration 

3. Diabetic retinopathy 

4. Retinal detachment 

Let us show you your eyes in a way you have never seen them before! We want to help our patients preserve their vision as best as we can to allow them to live their life to the fullest!

Optomap - Ultra-Widefield Imaging 

An Optos camera takes an image of the inside of the eye using low-intensity scanning laser technology. It can capture up to 82% of the tissue inside the eye, allowing us to assess your eyes with more confidence. There are eye conditions where you may not have any symptoms, but by using the Optos camera, we can detect them sooner. Additionally, it is very quick and easy to take, making it a very useful tool to assess children’s eyes. We highly recommend this for everyone, even if you are a healthy individual. 

OCT - Ocular Coherence Tomography 

An Ocular Coherence Tomography, is a highly advanced, non-invasive 3D medical imaging technique that uses light. It takes high-resolution 3D images of the inside of your eye and allows us to better assess the health of your eyes. We highly recommend this for the elderly, diabetics and those with risk factors for eye diseases. 

Slit Lamp Camera

When assessing the health at the front of the eyes, we may use a slit lamp camera to document and show you the condition of your eye. It will capture a magnified image of the eye lids and the surface of your eye to manage and monitor many eye conditions. You will realize there are many small details that you cannot see by just looking into the mirror!

Dry Eye Spa

In today’s digital age, dry eyes is a chronic condition that affects everyone. After a long day of using screens, whether it is for work or leisure at home, our eyes will feel tired. If the dryness is left untreated, you may find it uncomfortable or difficult to use your eyes for your daily activities or work.  

Severity of dryness can vary, but the most common signs and symptoms include: 

  • Watery eyes 

  • Red eyes 

  • Burning sensations 

  • Sensitvity to light 

Dryness only improves with active therapy. At Dr. Fabian Tai & Associates, we want help our patients feel better by providing a variety of treatment options for dry eyes. We carry dry eye products, such as, preservative free eye drops, lid hygiene wipes and heat compress eye masks. In conjunction with the home therapy products, we also offer in office treatments with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy to optimally manage dryness.  

Myopia Control

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is when you cannot see objects at a distance, making it difficult to learn or do many activities. Additionally, it can be especially concerning to have high myopia because it increases your child’s risk for eye diseases in the future.  

For many children, they may think their blurry vision is normal and may not be able to tell you there is a problem. It would be good to check if your child can see the board in class or if they can read signs while in the car. But better yet, we would recommend taking your child in for a routine eye examination even if everything seems okay. 

Children cannot avoid screen time when schools incorporate technology into their education, but we can help with the latest products of technology to try and slow down the change in their eyes. We offer a myopia control program for children to reduce the progression of myopia through specialty glasses and contact lenses. Our program also includes the use of the Myah, a tool to track the changes in the anatomy of their eyes as their myopia changes.
