Optometric
Comprehensive Exams
At Dumalo Optometry, we excel in thorough eye exams and premier eye care. More than just ensuring sharp vision, we focus on your eyes' overall health, offering tailored solutions for your individual needs. Our experts assess vision, screen for diseases, and address potential health concerns, providing treatments or referrals as necessary. After the exam, we guide you in selecting ideal eyewear or exploring options like Lasik and PRK. Additionally, we direct bill MSP and key extended medical plans, such as Pacific Blue Cross and First Nations Health Authority.
Children's Exams
Detecting vision disorders in children can be challenging as many severe eye conditions remain symptomless. Emphasizing preventative eye care and early detection is pivotal, considering that a staggering 80% of learning happens through vision. It's recommended that children undergo their initial eye exam at 6-9 months, followed by a second at ages 2-5 years, and annually after that. At Dumalo Optometry, our pediatric eye exams are designed to be engaging, reassuring, and enjoyable. We leverage cutting-edge equipment to assess your child’s visual acuity, focusing ability, eye coordination, depth perception, color vision, and overall eye health.
Urgent/Emergency Care
Frequently, optometrists are the initial healthcare providers contacted for emergency eye care. At Dumalo Optometry, our experienced doctors are adept at addressing various urgent eye conditions. From soothing red or irritated eyes and extracting foreign bodies or debris, to treating eye infections and managing visual disturbances like flashing lights or floaters. If you believe you're facing an ocular emergency, it's advisable to contact us before considering a lengthy wait at an emergency room. Our attentive staff prioritize such cases, guaranteeing prompt attention to your concerns and the right triage for your specific needs.
