A long tradition of eye care in Courtenay.
There are few things as important as your vision, and we at Mosaic Optometry are here to help. For eye examinations we are lucky to have optometrists Dr. Alex Kennedy, Dr. Laura Thomasen, Dr. Carla Bunn and Dr. Tammy Mui. We use the latest in imaging equipment, including the Monaco retinal camera which includes an Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT), as well as a stand-alone Nidek OCT. Our preliminary testing also includes lensometry, auto-refraction, visual field screening, and tonometry (for measuring eye pressure). Our optometric examinations include a thorough refractive assessment using computerized eyecharts. Although our imaging equipment is substantial, many of our patients undergo pupil dilation for the examination, to further the assessment of the internal parts of the eye.
Eyeglasses are an important component of vision correction. We specialize in corrective lenses for myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (complex defocus) and presbyopia (age-related focusing problems). We can also incorporate prism corrections for a variety of binocular vision problems. Typical lens treatments include photochromic Transitions lenses, safety lenses, scratch-resistant coatings, tints, and polarization.
Take a look at our frame suppliers on this website. Not only do we aim to satisfy our patients with functional lenses, we strive to make our clientele feel good about the way their glasses look and feel. Think about what you’d like for your glasses - do you need them to be sturdy? Or perhaps funky? Maybe conservative, or maybe just lightweight. Stop by in-person and browse our selection! No appointments are necessary for that.
Contact lenses are another important part of our practice. We carry common soft disposable lenses as well as rigid gas permeable lenses. We also routinely fit specialty lenses for keratoconus, which can include complex rigid lens designs and scleral lenses.
Hope to see you soon!
