Our eyes don’t send us a memo to remind us to get our eyes checked before we start having problems. At Total Eye Care Centre in Coquitlam, BC, we take a proactive approach to eye care from the start. Our comprehensive eye exams do not simply check whether or not you can see the smallest letters on the eye chart, as healthy vision is not just about what we see. It's also about being proactive in our approach to eye care, providing smart habits, and keeping our patients' daily comfort in mind. With our eye doctors, Dr. Amin Hassani and Dr. Joel Go, our patients have access to comprehensive eye exams near you.
Prevention Is Where the Best Eye Care Begins
A good exam begins with a discussion, followed by a series of detailed tests to understand your vision, your history, and your risks. At Total Eye Care Centre, our eye care philosophy is simple: catch small problems before they become big problems. And it’s important to catch them, because a routine eye and vision exam can uncover problems that don’t necessarily come with warning signs, but catching them early can help prevent vision loss or assist in early treatment. In other words, it’s not just about what you can see today, but what your eyes are trying to protect tomorrow.
What Happens Behind the Lens
Inside the exam room, we assess visual sharpness, eye coordination, pressure, and the health of the internal structures of the eye. Depending on your needs, data are gathered through advanced technology such as OCT, Optomap retinal imaging, and visual field testing, which helps us evaluate the retina, optic nerve, and other key structures with impressive detail. That information is then reviewed carefully so we can recommend the right next steps, whether that means updated glasses, contact lens guidance, dry eye support, or closer monitoring. It is thorough, practical, and built to serve real life, not just the exam chair.
Care That Changes With the Decades
Vision needs to evolve, and we evolve with it. Children may need help with myopia management, adults often notice more eye strain from long screen days, and older patients may require closer monitoring as age-related changes appear. Extended screen time can contribute to strain, headaches, and blurred vision, which is why we also help patients think about habits, work setups, and follow-up care that support comfort between visits.
