Often times, our patients come in thinking they just have one eye concern to be taken cared of. But more than frequently, I have patients with multiple concerns going on in their eyes.
The eye is the second most complex system in your body, aside from your brain. It's no surprise that more than one thing can wrong sometimes. For example, today, a patient complained of seeing blurrier with the 5 years old reading glasses. I updated her prescription for both distance, and near, and made sure the two eyes are still working well together. While I was examining her cornea, she went on to ask about why her eyes are tearing. It happens frequently in those over the age of 35. The eyes are dry, but the tears are running out of the eyes, making it drier. Normally, the tears are running from the tear producing glands to the nose constantly, we are just not aware of it. I shared that with her, recommended warm compress to loosen up possible blockage in the tear pathway and advised her on the use of artificial tears. I went on to make sure her internal lenses in the eyes are okay, with no cataracts, and to check her vitreous and retina. She did show a bit of changes at the back of the left eye, which may lead to risk of early macular degeneration. It was also at that point, she reflected, "I do see worse with the left eye." The best treatment for macular degeneration is to prevent it. I gave her a grid to monitor the change at home herself, and to come back early if distortions in vision occurs. In my head, I was thinking if she has clouding of her lens and floaters, she would have five problems happening in her eye, at least it's only three right now. I am monitoring her more frequently than once a year, hoping to control the changes at the back. So, although everything was found with just a look with the light (microscopic/slit lamp light), as all eye health issues are visual ones to the optometrist, a simple eye test is not a simple one. With a through comprehensive eye exam, you shall not be overlooked. Dr. Yan L. Liang, BSc, OD Markham Optometrist www.wardenoptometry.ca Contact Warden Optometry to book your appointment today. |

Sally:
I've been a patient at multiple optometry clinics before and I can say that Warden Optometry gives the best service. Over the past 3 years, I've gotten 3 routine eye examinations from Dr. Liang and each went very smoothly. She tells you exactly what she's doing and you get to learn new information during your examination. I recently decided to get contacts and she went through step-by-step on how to use and take care of them. She is very passionate about what she does and I would definitely recommend a visit to Warden Optometry!

My son became the patient of Dr. Liang since 2012. He likes reading a lot. Which led him become nearsighted. I am so worried that the situation being worse if not being controlled. Therefore, we checked twice a year and asked for advice. Dr. Liang is very experienced and knowledgable. She has many ways of (myopia) controling and prevention. My son tried several ways and made adjustments during the period, and finally find the best solution.!. Thank you Dr. Liang for your professional service!

Overall, I am very happy with the prescription and lens therapy to date with Dr. Liang. Prevention and early detection is key to eyesight, so we are very fortunate to have started the treatment process.
