You are the best!

I can't say enough about how helpful, caring and professional the staff and optometrists are at this office.  They always respond promptly and take the time to ensure your needs are met.  I recently experienced a very bad eye infection and the staff and doctors were very kind and understanding in providing me with the care and appointments I needed.

Thank you to those lovely ladies at the reception.  You are the best!

Family Eye Care

Regardless of your age or physical health, it’s important for your entire family to have regular eye exams at Bay College Optometric Centre.

Ask Our Doctors a Question...

What is the examination like to determine if someone has dry eyes?

A large part of the examination is finding out what the patient is experiencing and determining the type of dry eye causing the symptoms. We examine the surface of the eye under a microscope to look at the quantity and the quality of the tear film. Additionally, we examine the eyelids and the glands inside the eyelids to insure they are healthy. More about Dry Eyes...

What are the typical treatments for dry eyes?

There are a wide range of treatments ranging from over the counter products to specialty laser procedures. Many times using artificial tears and vitamin supplements can help boost the tear film. There are prescription eye drops that can aid in tear production as well as laser procedures for patients with more advanced dry eye. More about Dry Eyes...

Are there any recommendations to help people avoid dry eye?

Of course – stay hydrated and making sure you consume enough water each day. Additionally, take breaks from your computer and smart phone. I recommend the 20/20/20 Rule – take a 20 second break every 20 minutes and look 20 feet away and blink your eyes. Finally, wearing sunglasses is critical to protecting the surface of the eye and the eyelids from UV exposure. More about Dry Eyes...
