Non-invasive vision therapy
Dr. Jim Ng Cheong Tin brings specialized clinical technologies to Peterborough and the Kawartha Lakes that are typically only found in major tertiary eye institutes.
An advanced, non-invasive microcurrent stimulation therapy engineered to revitalize retinal pigment epithelial cells. Clinically proven to improve functional central vision, contrast sensitivity, and quality of life for patients with Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
As a certified **Wave Contact Lens Designer**, Dr. Jim creates custom orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses. These rigid gas-permeable retainers gently reshape the corneal surface overnight, allowing you to wake up with crisp daytime vision without daytime glasses, daytime contacts, or surgery.
Custom-designed large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault entirely over the sensitive cornea, resting gently on the white part of the eye (sclera). Engineered specifically to restore comfortable 20/20 clarity for patients suffering from Keratoconus, corneal scarring, severe Dry Eye Syndrome, or post-LASIK complications.
Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), we capture high-definition cross-sectional imagery of retinal nerve layers. Essential for early detection and tracking of glaucoma, macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, and optic nerve pathology long before vision loss occurs.
Complete pediatric, adult, and geriatric ocular examinations. We handle direct billing to major insurance providers, OHIP coverage processing for youths (0-19) and seniors (65+), as well as First Nations health benefits.
Specialized, standardized testing of uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, peripheral fields, depth perception, and color contrast thresholding tailored specifically for police services, fire services, and military clearance documentation.
