Orthokeratology (Ortho-K/OK) lenses are a form or corneal reshaping that allows patients to be free of glasses and contact lenses during waking hours. It is a safe, non-surgical, non-invasive and reversible alternative to glasses/contact lenses/surgery for kids and adults alike. It is also utilized in the therapeutic management of myopia control/progression.
At UTEC, we take a step by step approach to custom design, fit, and manage patients of all ages with ortho-K lenses. Call to book your consultation or appointment today to discover its therapeutic and lifestyle benefits.
The prevalence of electronic screen-related ocular symptoms is estimated as high as 50–90% in adult electronic screen users. Due to a lack of scientific literature in the area, the corresponding statistic is not known for children. Children’s use of electronic screens, however, has become more commonplace (home and school), begins earlier in childhood than in the past, and can last for long periods of time.

There’s a new treatment for dry eyes and Upper Thornhill Eye Clinic is pleased to be the 1st clinic in the province of Ontario to offer in-office treatments with Mibo Thermoflo.
If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you may be a good candidate for this treatment.
How does the MiBoFlo or “Meibomian Duct Therapy” treat MGD/Dry Eye?
The MiBoFlo Thermoflo® is a new therapeutic device for the treatment of dry eye by employing a proprietary thermoelectric heat pump designed to liquefy hardened oil secretions and improve meibomian glandular function. MiBo treatment keeps your tears from evaporating between blinks by allowing the oily component from the meibomian gland to cover the entire tear film.

Nikon SeeMax Emblematic is the result of 100 years of consistent investment in R & D. It is the most sophisticated and advanced progressive lens offered by Nikon today.

Nowadays, we spend more time using a wide variety of digital devices to work, learn and be entertained. Recent digital screens are often equipped with powerful light source such as LED.
