Contact Lens Exams & Fitting

Finding the right contact lenses for you begins with a contact lens exam, which includes a full medical evaluation of your eyes to determine which contact lenses could work for you. We also look for special considerations, like dry eye, that might influence our contact lens choice. Finally, we update your prescription, so your contact lenses give you the clearest vision possible.

Book Your Appointment

After the exam, we move onto the fitting. During the fitting, we measure the shape of your eye to get an initial idea of which type of contact lens will fit you best. We use techniques like Medmont corneal topography, which maps your cornea with an accuracy of two microns. For fitting specialty lenses, such as scleral lenses, we also use anterior segment imaging and OCT, which gives us a clear picture of the angle, slope, and thickness of your cornea.

Book Your Appointment

Following the contact lens exam and fitting, we will have a thorough understanding of which contact lenses are best for you based on your unique needs. We will supply you with a pair of lenses that you’ll wear for a trial period. Once we’ve established that they are comfortable and provide you with clear vision, we will write you a prescription for the lenses. If you’re happy with your new contact lenses, you can easily order more contacts online when the time comes.

Specialized Contact Lens Options

Orthokeratology, often referred to as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical method of reshaping the cornea. The ortho-k contact lenses are worn overnight, and the lenses gently reshape your cornea while you sleep so you can enjoy clear, crisp vision the next day.

With regular wear, you won’t need to wear glasses or contacts to correct your vision as you go about your daily activities. Patients who don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day may be a good fit for ortho-k lenses. Ortho-k lenses can also be a treatment option for those with astigmatism.

Ortho-K lenses are also a method used in myopia management (reducing the progression of myopia). Through the use of ortho-k lenses, like Euclid Emerald lenses, myopia progression can be managed.

Scleral contact lenses are a specialty contact lens with a unique fit designed for patients that can’t wear traditional contact lenses. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which rest on the cornea, scleral contact lenses rest on the sclera (the white of the eye), creating a fluid reservoir between the contact lens and the cornea, which smooths corneal irregularities to provide clearer vision. Patients with the following vision concerns may benefit from scleral lenses:

Because the fluid reservoir helps to smooth corneal irregularities, scleral contact lenses can help those with irregularly shaped corneas achieve clear vision. Patients with astigmatism and keratoconus may benefit from scleral contact lenses. Scleral contact lenses can also work for patients who require contact lenses after surgery, including laser eye surgery, corneal transplant surgery, or radial keratotomy surgery.

Additionally, patients with dry eye can also benefit from the use of scleral lenses. The fluid reservoir the lens creates helps to keep your eyes hydrated, especially for patients whose eyes are too dry for conventional contact lenses.

We offer a variety of scleral lenses, including mini scleral and ultra-thin scleral lenses, to provide you with the right scleral lenses for your needs.

MiSight® contact lenses are a 1-day disposable lens designed specifically for myopia management. Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects approximately 30% of Canadians and often becomes worse with age. With myopia management methods, such as multifocal contact lenses, the progression of myopia can be reduced.

Multifocal lenses, such as MiSight® contact lenses, contain multiple prescriptions throughout the lens. The multiple prescriptions are thought to reduce eye strain during near vision tasks like reading; a factor that may contribute to the progression of myopia. When compared to the use of single-vision contact lenses, MiSight® multifocal contact lenses can slow the worsening of myopia by as much as 50%.

Our Testimonials

I was diagnosed with dry eye syndrome in 2015. I received successful treatment and it was controlled with eye drops for several years. I then had cataract surgery in both eyes in 2019, which resulted in severe dry eye syndrome. On the advice of my optometrist, I used several eye drops, ointments and warm compresses throughout the day. However, this did not lessen the symptoms or improve my situation. I experienced constant discomfort, gritty feeling in my eyes and blurry vision, which hindered me from reading, working on the computer and seeing clearly. In addition, the hours devoted to treatment at home with drops took up a great deal of my day. My condition had a significant impact on my everyday life.

Finally, my optometrist referred me to Dr. Roshni Echharam at North Toronto Medical Optometry and Vision Care who specializes in treating dry eye syndrome. She recommended five treatments, (4 IPL and I Lipiflow) which she clearly explained to me at the onset. After the first treatment, my life changed significantly. My vision became clear, I have no discomfort and I feel I have gotten my life back, since I do not spend hours on drops and treating my eye. Reading and working on the computer are now a pleasure. I see clearly once again. Dr Echharam is wonderful; she is caring and explains what she is doing in detail during the treatments. Her staff, like she, are also efficient and thoughtful. I feel deep appreciation for Dr. Echharam and her staff.

Elizabeth Nemethy

In January 2020 Dr. Echharam began treating me at her dry eye clinic.  Dr. Echharam’s knowledge of dry eye is amazing. Over the course of a number of weeks she provided treatments, suggestions and regular consultations to address my dry eye symptoms. I have seen a drastic improvement in the health of my eyes as a result of Dr. Echharam. I cannot recommend North Toronto Vision Care enough. It is obvious that Dr. Echharam loves her work and truly wants to do her best for every patient she sees.

Anna Dalgarno

I came to Dr. Roshni’s clinic for a dry eye consult and received IPL treatments. At first, I was very hesitant since I need to lip-read people to understand them (I am Deaf) and when my eyes were closed during the first procedure I was nervous. But she explained the process in advance very well and we came up with cues for me to hear or feel. I was comfortable and then knew what to expect after the first treatment. In addition, after each IPL treatment when it came to cleaning my eyelids, I had a fear of anyone coming near my eyes but she displayed extreme patience and understanding and we went at my own pace. I would recommend this clinic for individuals who have any concerns with their eyes in general or whom need dry eye treatments.

R.F

Dr Echharam has been my eye doctor for several years.

During that period, I have seen her grow into one of the best eye care doctors.

She has studied advanced herself and has all the equipment to back her claim to the utmost claim of care for dry eyes in all her patients. In my books she comes highly recommended.

Bill Ricciuto

Dr. Echharam rapidly diagnosed my eye issues, made sure that I had additional medical tests to rule out more serious conditions and provided state of the art treatment that addressed the root causes of my dry eye problem such that the problem quickly improved. This treatment, while not fun, was successful. 

Under her care, I am managing my dry eye condition well and monitoring my eyes to ensure that the condition remains stable. Could not be in better hands.

Howie Nisenbaum

Dr. Echharam is friendly, knowledgeable and has tons of patience. She has worked wonders with my dry-eye issue; always researching new products or solutions. The whole team takes such care in every aspect of your visit. My son and I have been with Dr. Echharam for close to 15 years.

Ann Bradt

Dr Echharam is an experienced and knowledgeable optometrist who is also super kind and patient. In addition to my vision issues she has also treated my dry-eye problems with great success. She has many recommendations and ointments to try in order to relieve the dryness and improve my oil glands etc in my eye lid and I’m happy to say my eyes are so much better now. Front medical staff are very efficient and pleasant. Parking is available in the building or across the street. I highly recommend this eye clinic.

Sue Poulton

First of all thank to all who left the amazing reviews about Dr. Roshni Echharam, which led me to that clinic. I appreciate that the scheduling was perfect, I had no wait times. I had a severe dry eyes situation and the thoroughness with which I was examined was amazing. The prescription and care advised is right on! The next day and I am already feel great.

Carmalin Francis

My eyes were really dry & uncomfortable 8 months ago. After my 1st IPL I already felt some relief less irritated. After 2nd IPL also some improvement but after 3rd IPL big improvement my eyes felt much more better. I don’t need to put too much drops now. I had 2 different optometrists before and they didn’t help me at all. They just told me to put drops. I am lucky finally got Dr. Echaram to solve my problem. Thank you so much for your caring & expertise.

Addy Lee

Seeking treatment from Dr. Eccharam at North Toronto Medical Optometry was the best decision I ever made for my dry eyes. Before that, I had been to a number of ophthalmologists and optometrists, all of whom failed to accurately diagnose the cause of my dry eyes or offer any effective treatment options. From the moment I walked into Dr. Eccharam’s clinic, I was blown away by the level of care, compassion and clinical expertise I received from her and her team. My dry eye exam included a comprehensive series of tests, after which Dr. Eccharam collected my full history, explained my test results in great detail and answered every one of my many questions with attention and patience. She also recommended a course of treatment that has significantly improved my dry eye symptoms and has even allowed me to start wearing contact lenses again! I am so thankful to Dr. Eccharam and her team for the outstanding level of care I received and for helping me get back to living my life without inflammation and pain.
