Eye Care Services
FAMILY EYE CARE
Our comprehensive eye exams include far more than just updating your glasses prescription. Our experienced optometrists conduct a full consultation that includes essential tests such as intraocular pressure measurement to screen for glaucoma, eye muscle balance assessments to evaluate binocular vision, and a detailed evaluation of your overall eye health.
Equipped with the latest advanced eye care technology, our clinic uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools to provide accurate, early detection of eye diseases. We utilize innovative techniques including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for high-resolution 3D imaging of the retina, ocular photography to capture detailed images of your eye structures, and digitized visual field assessments to monitor peripheral vision and detect neurological conditions.
EMERGENCY EYE CARE
Same-Day Appointments Available
We understand that eye emergencies can happen unexpectedly and require immediate attention. That’s why we offer urgent eye care services with same-day appointments to quickly address your needs and protect your vision.
If you experience any serious eye conditions—such as foreign objects (metal or debris) in the eye, sudden vision loss, red or painful eyes, double vision, eye inflammation (including iritis or uveitis), or any kind of eye injury—our expert optometrists are ready to provide prompt and effective treatment.
We prioritize your eye health and comfort, and our caring staff works diligently to accommodate emergency cases and ensure you receive the best possible care when it matters most.
MYOPIA CONTROL
According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, myopia (nearsightedness) affects approximately 30% of Canadians, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming decades. Myopia occurs when the eyeball is elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. This results in blurry vision when looking at distant objects.
Experts predict that by 2050, nearly half of the world’s population will be myopic, making myopia control a critical aspect of eye health. The recent increase in near work, especially on digital devices during the COVID-19 pandemic, has accelerated the progression of nearsightedness in children and adults alike.
Myopia development is influenced by a combination of genetic factors, environmental conditions, and frequent close-up activities such as reading or screen time. At Regal Eye Care in Orangeville, we offer specialized myopia management programs to slow the progression of nearsightedness and help protect your child’s vision for the future.
MACUMIRA
MacuMira Treatment for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Living with dry age-related macular degeneration (Dry AMD) can be frustrating, especially when changes in vision begin to affect daily activities like reading, recognizing faces, or seeing clearly in low-light environments. At Regal Eye Care, we are committed to offering patients thoughtful, evidence-informed care and access to emerging treatment options that may help support visual function.
What is Dry AMD?
Dry age-related macular degeneration is a common, progressive eye condition that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Over time, Dry AMD can lead to blurred or distorted central vision, reduced contrast sensitivity, and difficulty with tasks that require fine visual detail.
Dry AMD is typically managed through:
- Regular eye examinations and monitoring
- Nutritional supplementation (such as AREDS)
- Lifestyle and eye-health recommendations
These remain important components of care. However, many patients are interested in additional options that may help support visual function and quality of life.
What is MacuMira?
MacuMira is a non-invasive, Health Canada–approved medical device designed to help improve visual function in patients with Dry AMD. MacuMira delivers a gentle microcurrent through closed eyelids during in-clinic treatment sessions. This microcurrent is intended to support the health and function of retinal cells, including cellular and mitochondrial activity, which are affected in Dry AMD. MacuMira is designed to be used alongside existing Dry AMD management, not as a replacement for regular monitoring or supplements.
Who Could Benefit From MacuMira Treatment?
MacuMira may be appropriate for individuals with Dry AMD at various stages, particularly those who are looking for additional options to support visual function. The best way to determine whether MacuMira may be suitable is through a consultation with our clinical team.
What to Expect During Your MacuMira Treatment
MacuMira treatments are performed comfortably in our clinic.
During each session:
- You will sit in a relaxing treatment chair
- The MacuMira device is placed gently over closed eyelids
- Treatment lasts 32 minutes
- No injections, surgery, or downtime are required
Most patients describe the experience as comfortable and relaxing.
Our care team will guide you through the recommended treatment schedule and answer any questions along the way.
Benefits of MacuMira Treatment for Dry AMD
While individual results vary, patients using MacuMira have reported benefits such as:
- Improved visual function for daily activities
- Better contrast sensitivity, especially in low-light situations
- Increased confidence with tasks affected by central vision changes
Our goal in offering MacuMira is to help patients maintain vision and, in some cases, restore aspects of visual function, rather than simply waiting for further progression.
Is MacuMira Right for You?
MacuMira may be an option worth exploring if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Dry AMD and are interested in learning more about additional treatment approaches.
CONTACT LENSES
We offer a comprehensive range of contact lens services tailored to meet your unique vision needs. Whether you’re new to contact lenses or looking for a better fit, our experienced optometrists provide expert contact lens fittings to ensure comfort and clear vision.
Did you know that even if you have astigmatism, you can still wear contact lenses? We offer specialized Toric contact lenses designed to correct astigmatism effectively. Additionally, for patients who require bifocal or multifocal prescriptions, we provide customized bifocal contact lenses that allow for seamless vision at all distances.
Our clinic is dedicated to helping you find the perfect contact lenses in Orangeville that fit your lifestyle, prescription, and eye health needs.
SCLERAL LENSES
Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus, Astigmatism & Severe Dry Eye
Scleral lenses are specialized large-diameter rigid gas-permeable lenses that rest comfortably on the white part of the eye (the sclera). These advanced lenses are ideal for patients with corneal irregularities such as high astigmatism, keratoconus, or those who have not achieved satisfactory vision correction with traditional glasses or soft contact lenses.
Patients suffering from severe dry eye syndrome also benefit greatly from scleral lenses, as they create a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the irregular corneal surface. This fluid barrier allows light to pass through the eye in a straight line without distortion, significantly reducing ghosting, glare, and improving overall visual clarity.
At Regal Eye Care in Orangeville, our experienced optometrists perform comprehensive eye exams and take precise, customized measurements to ensure an optimal scleral lens fit. Our skilled clinic staff provide hands-on training to help patients learn how to safely insert, remove, and clean their scleral lenses.
We follow up with patients regularly—initially within a few days and then over the following months—to monitor comfort, fit, and vision quality, ensuring you get the best possible results with your scleral lenses.
RIGID GAS PERMEABLE (RGP) LENSES
Rigid gas permeable lenses (RGPs) are small-diameter, hard contact lenses designed to sit directly on the cornea—the clear, front surface of the eye. These lenses provide excellent oxygen permeability and allow for maximum fluid exchange, making them a healthy and effective alternative for patients who struggle to achieve clear vision with traditional soft contact lenses.
We offer customized RGP lens fittings tailored to your unique eye shape and prescription. Our optometrists perform a thorough series of precise measurements to ensure the best possible fit and visual clarity.
Our knowledgeable clinic staff will guide you through proper RGP lens care, including safe insertion and removal techniques, to promote comfort and eye health. Regular follow-up appointments with your optometrist are essential to monitor lens fit, eye health, and maintain optimal vision outcomes.
If you’re seeking durable, high-quality contact lenses that deliver superior vision correction, RGP lenses in Orangeville may be the ideal choice for you.
