Dry eye disease occurs when the eye lacks lubrication. There are 2 causes of poor eye lubrication: the eye does not produce enough tears, or the tears it makes evaporate too quickly to lubricate the eye.
Dry eye disease can be chronic and is sometimes incurable. However, dry eyes can be managed in many cases. At Henderson Vision Centre, we provide extensive diagnostics and treatment programs for patients seeking dry eye therapy.
Most patients see us 4 times over 6 months:
Dry eye disease’s symptoms are similar to those of other conditions, such as conjunctivitis. Many people also confuse dry eye with seasonal allergies or temporary irritation.
If dry eye is impacting you, visit us for an assessment and treatment. Request your appointment here.
Diagnosis begins with an eye exam, during which we examine your eyes and assess their overall health. If you have dry eyes, we also may measure the volume or quality of your tears.
We can also help diagnose the cause of your dry eye. Many factors can cause dry eyes, including common medications (like antihistamines) and digital eye strain.
Our dry eye therapy program includes:
Regardless of the method of treatment used, our goal is the same: to improve your quality of life by reducing or eliminating your symptoms.
You can find us in the River East Plaza, between Safeway and Booster Juice, and across from Tim Hortons. We have plenty of parking available on-site.
*Please note we are CLOSED on Saturdays of long weekends and for the months of July and August.
“Just had the first eye exam for my daughter with Dr. Chow. My daughter really does not like doctors… but Dr. Chow was perfect she did the exam flawlessly and handled my daughter’s objections really well. ZERO stress. Now my daughter is excited to come back for her next eye exam in a year. Thank you also to Dr. Mestito-Dao super nice and super accommodating! Not to mention the staff, pro’s at what they do. Thank you and nicely done HVC!”
“I had a very good experience with this clinic. The reception staff were warm, and efficient. My insurance coverage was handling very well. The pre-exam procedures were done well, by staff that were well versed in doing them. The Optometrist (Dr Zimmer), was excellent to deal with and very thorough. The office had a pleasant ambiance, and I left my appointment with a very “good feeling” about the whole experience. I will be booking my appointments with this clinic again.”
“Every time I go to the H.V.C. I’m very pleased with Dr. Mundle & his staff’s thorough eye examination. They always take their time to explain & answer any questions I have regarding their tests & procedures.”
“Everyone was very friendly. They went over and above to explain everything to me. Helped me pick out new glasses which I’m obsessed with. When I went back in to pick them up the girl was so excited to help me and I left feeling so confident.”
“The staff are so friendly and it’s a very welcoming place. I see Dr. Mestito-Dao and I always feel like she listens to me and offers great feedback & advice. The exams are thorough so I also feel reassured that I’m in good hands and have had a comprehensive appointment. I would recommend Henderson Vision Centre to anyone.”
