Comprehensive Eye Exam Technology
Comprehensive Eye Exam Technology
At ERC Optometry in Brooklin, we believe that a thorough eye exam means more than just checking your prescription. Our advanced technology helps us look deeper into your eye health so we can detect concerns early, provide accurate diagnoses, and create personalized care plans.
Oculus Myopia Master
Oculus Myopia Master
For children with nearsightedness (myopia), this technology measures the length and shape of the eye. Tracking these changes over time helps us design treatment plans that slow down how quickly vision worsens.
Oculus Corneal Topographer
Oculus Corneal Topographer
This tool creates a detailed 3D “map” of the cornea (the clear front surface of your eye). It’s essential for fitting custom lenses like scleral or orthokeratology lenses and for detecting early signs of corneal conditions such as keratoconus.
Zeiss OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
Zeiss OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
This scan lets us see the layers of your retina in incredible detail—like an ultrasound, but with light instead of sound. It helps us catch eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease before you notice symptoms.
Eidon Retinal Camera
Eidon Retinal Camera
The Eidon captures high-quality, wide-angle images of the back of your eye. It allows us to monitor conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or retinal tears, while also providing a valuable baseline for your long-term eye health.
OllEyes Virtual Reality Visual Field Test
OllEyes Virtual Reality Visual Field Test
This modern, comfortable test uses a VR headset instead of the traditional bulky machine. It checks your side vision for signs of glaucoma, neurological conditions, or even medication-related changes—without the stress of older testing methods.
iCare Tonometer
iCare Tonometer
Forget the “air puff” test. Our tonometer gently measures eye pressure with a quick, painless touch, making glaucoma screening easy for patients of all ages.

Dry Eye Diagnosis & Advanced Treatments
Dry Eye Diagnosis & Advanced Treatments
Dry eye can cause burning, stinging, redness, or blurred vision—and often eye drops alone aren’t enough. At ERC Optometry, we are one of the few clinics in the Durham Region and surrounding area offering advanced treatments that go beyond symptom relief to address the root cause.
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment)
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment)
This gentle eyelid cleaning removes bacteria, debris, and even microscopic mites (Demodex) that can cause irritation, inflammation, and chronic dry eye.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
Using gentle flashes of light, IPL reduces eyelid inflammation and restores healthy oil flow to the tears. It’s especially effective for patients with rosacea or meibomian gland dysfunction.
Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
A soothing LED light stimulates the tiny oil glands in your eyelids, reduces inflammation, and improves tear quality. This is a safe, painless, and highly effective dry eye therapy.
Meibomian Gland Expression
Meibomian Gland Expression
Blocked oil glands can cause dryness and irritation. With careful, gentle pressure, we unblock these glands to restore the natural oils that keep your tears healthy and stable.
PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) Eye Drops
PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) Eye Drops
These advanced drops are made from your own blood, enriched with natural healing proteins. They repair and protect the surface of your eyes, improving comfort in cases of chronic or severe dry eye
Amniotic Membrane Placement
Amniotic Membrane Placement
For advanced dry eye or corneal damage, we can place a protective amniotic membrane over the eye. This reduces inflammation and helps tissue regenerate, promoting long-term healing.
Scleral Lenses
Scleral Lenses
These specialized contact lenses vault over the cornea and hold a reservoir of fluid against the eye. They keep the eyes protected and hydrated, while also improving vision for patients with severe dry eye, keratoconus, or irregular corneas.
