HOW EACH TEST HELPSWhat We're Actually Looking For
Good equipment doesn't replace a good doctor, but it helps us catch things a standard exam would miss. Here's what each tool is actually doing behind the scenes.
OCT
Cross-section scan of your eye.
Included in every exam.
Detects glaucoma, retinal, and corneal issues early.
Topcon MYAH & Meibography
Measures axial length.
Maps corneal shape.
Central to myopia control.
Meibography: imaging the glands that cause dry eye
Visual Field
Screens for glaucoma, retina diseases, and neurological conditions.
WHY IT MATTERSThis technology helps us diagnose and manage conditions patients often don't know they have. Evaporative dry eye, blepharitis, ocular surface disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, and early glaucoma can all be caught with the right imaging, often before you'd notice symptoms yourself.
A TEAM THAT CARES ABOUT YOUDr. Teri Hines & Dr. Jennifer Leung
Dr. Hines opened View Optometry in 2017 after training at Simon Fraser University and completing her Doctor of Optometry with honours at Pacific University in Oregon. Dr. Leung joined after studying at UBC and earning her Doctor of Optometry with honours from the University of Waterloo with honours, bringing a special interest in post-concussion vision care. Together, they lead a clinic built on unrushed exams and honest recommendations.
CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY, A CLOSER LOOKMapping The Surface Of Your Eye
Corneal topography is like a map of the surface of your cornea, the clear front part of your eye. It shows how curved or flat different areas of the cornea are. We use this primarily to screen for keratoconus, a corneal disease that's especially common in patients with high astigmatism.
Keratoconus
Corneal irregularities
Every Exam Includes An OCT Scan And Retina Photography
You don't need to ask for it or pay extra, OCT imaging is standard with every comprehensive eye exam at View Optometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OCT imaging included in a regular eye exam, or is it extra?
It's included standard with every comprehensive eye exam at View Optometry, not an add-on.
Do I need a referral to get a visual field test?
No, your optometrist can order one directly if there's a clinical reason, such as monitoring glaucoma risk or a driver's license requirement.
What is meibography actually checking for?
It images the meibomian glands in your eyelids, which produce the oil layer of your tear film. This helps diagnose causes of chronic dry eye, like blepharitis or gland dysfunction.
Will these tests take longer than a normal appointment?
Most of this imaging happens during your regular pretesting, before you even see the optometrist, it doesn't usually add meaningful time to your visit.
