About Us

Eye sight is considered to be the most important of all the senses. In fact, 80 percent of learning comes directly through vision. Without our sense of sight, the world can become a very scary and dangerous place. Our highly capable team here at your local Optometrist, is led by Dr. Thadshika Parthipan who is dedicated to your visual care.

Providing you with everything from general checkups to the treatment of all manner of eye problems, our team here at your local Optometrist are completely dedicated to our patients and the swift treatment of any problems with their eyes.

We have two practices, one in Rockwood and one in Guelph. Our Rockwood practice is located on Alma Street on Highway 7, and our Guelph practice is located at the junction of Starwood Drive and Grange Road & close to the Big Bear Food Mart.

 

Our Equipment:

autoref
Nidek Auto Ref / Kerato / Tonometer TONOREF™ II		 Three essential measurements combined in a SINGLE instrument: The world’s first automatic refractometer (measures an index of refraction) Automated keratometer (also known as an ophthalmometer, used to measure the curvature of the front surface of the cornea) Non-contact tonometer (determines (IOP ), the fluid pressure in the eye, is an important test in evaluating patients at risk of glaucoma)
740i
Zeiss 740i Visual Field Perimeter		  A visual field test is an eye examination that can detect central and peripheral vision dysfunctions that can be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, brain tumors or other neurological deficits. The gold standard in perimetry to aid in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

Nidek Smart Refractor RT-5100

Typically, the patient sits behind the phoropter and looks through it at an eye chart. A phoropter is an instrument used during an eye exam to measure refractive errors and determine eyeglass prescriptions. With computer-controlled lens changes and settings for the best possible vision. The optometrist then changes lenses and other settings while asking the patient for feedback on which settings provide the best vision. Smart Refractor is the next best thing.

Nidek Optical Coherence Tomography Retina Scan

OCT is a non-invasive technique of imaging the eye. It uses light waves to acquire cross-sectional images of the retina. With OCT (Optical coherence tomography) we can see each of the characteristic layers of the retina. This allows your eye doctor to map and calculate its thickness. These calculation help in the diagnosis. They provide advice on the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases. Some of the retinal diseases may include age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
