Founded in 1997, the Clinique de l’œil de Gatineau joined the Opto-Réseau group in 2009. The clinic moved to its current location in 2010 to offer more services to its growing clientele, with an additional exam room and new equipment.
We have more than 600 frames in store, including several well-known collections such as Ray-Ban, Michael Kors and Lacoste. Come and you’ll see!
Our exam rooms are equipped with the best equipment, including an eye fundus camera to allow screening for eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Dr. Érik Zwarts, optometrist owns the clinic since 2005. He is surrounded by a ream of four assistants to serve you well. A Gatineau native, he studied optometry at the University of Montréal and, since graduation, is deeply involved in his profession. He is currently a director at the Quebec College of Optometrists and has long been involved in the continuing education of optometrists, notably as director of the Optometry Development and Reference Centre, including four years as President (2009-2013).
A general eye exam will take into account the patient’s ocular health history. It will also include a refraction test (to determine the prescription required), a test to measure the focusing and coordination abilities of the eyes, an intraocular pressure test (when required), a peripheral visual field test (if necessary), and an assessment of the patient’s general eye health.
This type of eye exam will allow your eyecare professional to diagnose any problems and issue suitable recommendations.
Additional tests may be required to screen and monitor for certain eye conditions. These may include tests for dry eye syndrome, retinal imaging, and OCT (optical coherence tomography).
Our optometrists are trained to detect eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and more.
We are also able to monitor your case. Your eye care professional can carry out pre- and post-surgery follow-ups, as well as monitor ocular manifestations of systemic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Eye exams specifically designed for contact lenses users are provided at Opto-Reseau. We can fit flexible, rigid (gas permeable), toric, multifocal and coloured lenses.
Explore our wide selection of frames for every style! Whether you’re looking for prescription or sunglasses, our expert advisors will help you pick a pair of personalized frames that are adapted to the face of your shape, your complexion, your hair colour, etc.
With the increasing use of electronic devices in our daily life, whether for work or leisure, you may have noticed the appearance or increase of headaches, eye fatigue, pain in the neck and shoulders, dry eyes, dizziness or light sensitivity. Neurolens may be the solution for you. Using a sophisticated measuring device, our clinic can determine if this solution is right for you. Contact us to learn more!
A visual field is basically how far your eye can see in any direction without moving. Our cutting-edge tools allow us to precisely measure your peripheral and central vision. These tests help us detect certain conditions such as diabetes, glaucoma, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Our basic eye exam includes a basic visual field test but your optometrist might recommend specialized tests or regular follow-ups depending on your health condition and visual impairments. The SAAQ might also require you to undergo a specific vision test as part of a visual assessment.
A photo of the various structures of the retina can be taken using a retinal camera allowing a more accurate examination of the fundus. This technology allows the detection of several diseases of the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma and high blood pressure, to name just a few. It can also detect diseases that still have no symptoms.
The test requires only a few minutes of your time and does not require dilation in 90% of cases (drops that confuse vision). This test is therefore convenient and allows your eye care professional to monitor your eye health. The photos provide a basis for comparison between appointments to assess the evolution of the eyes or the effectiveness of treatments, if any.
If you think about correcting your vision with laser refractive surgery, ask our eye care professionals if you are a good candidate. Our team of optometrists is able to do preoperative assessments to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. Your professional will be able to advise you about the solution best suited to your situation according to your needs and available technologies.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique for obtaining deep images of opaque or transparent materials with a resolution close to a microscope. In particular, the OCT scan provides detailed images of the interior of the retina to detect diseases such as multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, or diabetic retinopathy.
