Our mission at Summit Eyecare Centre is to provide trustworthy and exceptional eyecare and vision correction. We strive to care for our diverse community with empathy, honesty and integrity while providing custom visual solutions for each individual.
THE BENEFITS OF VISITING AN OPTOMETRIST REGULARLY
As with most things, prevention and detection are the keys to avoiding problems. Eye health is no different. There are many reasons to visit an optometrist regularly, such as:
-
Early detection of eye conditions: When you visit an optometrist regularly, they can proactively detect the early signs of eye conditions. This allows you to address them before they become severe.
-
Identifying vision loss: Many people, particularly children, suffer from vision problems without realizing it. Visiting an optometrist will help you take corrective measures to restore optimal sight.
-
Treatment: If you've undergone a corrective procedure for your eyes, keeping up with professional eye care is important. For instance, there are greater chances of retinal detachment after surgery. Visiting an optometrist will ensure you recover without experiencing other problems.
-
Eye care: An optometrist has the experience and training to provide helpful information about taking care of your eyes.

COMMON EYE CONDITIONS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
At Summit Eyecare Centre, we help diagnose and manage a range of common eye conditions:
-
Dry eyes: Caused by insufficient tear production, leading to discomfort. We provide treatments like prescription drops and lifestyle advice.
-
Glaucoma: Increased eye pressure can damage the optic nerve. Regular exams help in early detection.
-
Cataracts: Clouding of the eye lens, affecting vision. We monitor progression and provide referrals for surgery when necessary.
-
Macular degeneration: Affects central vision and is common in older adults. Early detection and treatment can slow progression.

HEALTHY HABITS FOR BETTER EYE HEALTH
Maintaining healthy eyes requires more than regular visits to an optometrist; lifestyle choices also play a role. Here are some habits that can contribute to better eye health:
-
Eat a balanced diet: Foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as leafy greens, fish, and nuts, promote eye health.
-
Practice good screen habits: To reduce digital eye strain, follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
-
Wear protective eyewear: Always wear sunglasses with UV protection and safety glasses when engaging in activities that could pose a risk to your eyes.
WHY YOU SHOULD TEST YOUR PRESCHOOLER’S VISION EARLY
Early detection of vision issues in children is essential for their development. Preschoolers may not always express that they are experiencing vision difficulties, which is why regular eye exams are important. Common issues like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) can be more easily treated when identified early. An eye exam can address potential problems before they impact learning or behaviour.
