We get this question at almost every consultation: “So, which procedure do I actually need?”

The answer is different for everyone. Your corneal thickness, prescription stability, occupation, lifestyle, and other factors all play a role in determining the right option for you.

Book a consultation today to learn more about your options and see whether you’re a candidate.

A very common fear associated with laser vision correction is 'What if I regret this?'

It's a fair thing to sit with before any elective procedure. What helps most people move past it isn't a sales pitch — it's a real conversation with our staff. Our educational coordinators are here to answer all questions about your specific eyes, risks, and odds. That's what an assessment is for, and there's no obligation attached when booking one.

Call us today to schedule your assessment.

A great day on the course with Eastern Ontario’s optometry community! ⛳️👁️

Focus Eye Centre was proud to sponsor this year’s Annual Eastern Ontario Optometry Golf Tournament. This annual event brings together optometrists and industry partners from across the region for a day of golf, connection, and continuing education.

A huge thank you and congratulations to Dr. Joshua Smith and Dr. Geneviève Davy of Clinique d’Optométrie SD&G for organizing such a fantastic event. The time and effort that goes into bringing an event like this together doesn’t go unnoticed, and it was wonderful to see so many members of the Eastern Ontario eye care community in one place.

We’re grateful to have been part of the day and to continue supporting the optometry community we’re so fortunate to work alongside. ⛳️

The instinctive fear: what if I blink or flinch and it ruins the procedure?

Don't worry about blinking during the procedure - a small instrument holds your eyelids open for the brief period of time the laser is being used.

Laser eye correction is a very calculated procedure using modern eye-tracking systems to monitor your eyes and our staff are prepared for everything. The procedure is over before you even know it.

Happy Labour Day to all of our working patients. Focus Eye Centre will be closed today.

September is Sports Eye Safety Month.

Whether it's your kid's first season in hockey or your own pickleball league, protective eyewear matters. Prescription glasses or regular sunglasses don't count as real eye protection.

If you're interested in learning more about how you can get rid of your glasses and be more comfortable while being active, give us a call to book your consultation today.

What if I still need reading glasses after laser? Fair question - Sometimes you do.

Standard laser vision correction reshapes the cornea to correct your prescription, but it doesn’t prevent the natural age-related changes that affect near vision. This doesn’t mean the procedure failed—it may simply mean using reading glasses for certain close-up tasks instead of relying on glasses or contacts full time.

Other options, including refractive lens exchange, may help provide a greater range of vision and reduce your dependence on reading glasses.

Book a consultation to find out which option may be right for you.
