If you wear soft contact lenses, please leave your lenses out for at least 2 full days prior to your appointment. If you wear hard contact lenses, please leave them out for 2 full weeks prior to your appointment.
Please plan to spend approximately 90 minutes with us at this first visit. This assessment will include a dilated eye exam with our Optometrist. We recommend that you bring a pair of sunglasses with you to your appointment as many patients are light-sensitive and experience blurred reading (near) vision for 1-2 hours.
Upon completion of your assessment, you will have a detailed understanding of the following:
Dr. David Rootman understands the importance of good vision in our day-to-day lives. As we experience the world, in large part, through our eyes, it is our constant hope that enjoyment of the experience will not be complicated by a failing in our vision. Unfortunately, neither our eyes nor the rest of our body is intended to last forever, and many of us begin noticing gradual changes in the quality of our vision over time.
Dr. Rootman does not believe in surrendering to imperfect vision. At Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre in Toronto, he and his associates use the latest in laser eye surgery technology, including LASIK and its alternatives, to enhance your vision, giving you a new lease on enjoying the sights the world around you has to offer.
Performed by Dr. Rootman at his Toronto centre, Custom LASIK is laser eye surgery at its most refined. Every eye has its imperfections. Custom LASIK utilizes new Wavefront™ technology that creates a topographical map of your eye before surgery. After examining this map, Dr. Rootman is able to fine-tune your treatment for the unique corrections you need to achieve crystal clear vision. The precision of custom LASIK allows for the most accurate vision correction possible.

Blade-free LASIK with Intralase® laser technology is the first "all laser" LASIK procedure. Traditional LASIK utilizes both a finely-focused laser and a metal blade to accomplish vision correction. The blade, or microkeratome, used to be the only means of creating a flap in the cornea. At his Toronto centre, Dr. Rootman performs laser eye surgery using blade free IntraLase® LASIK for the safest vision correction.

Because not everyone is an ideal candidate for LASIK, our Toronto centre offers several vision correction alternatives that provide correction of virtually the same quality as LASIK. Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK), implantable contact lenses (ICLs), IEK, and DSEK are other methods used by Dr. Rootman and his corneal specialist associates for restoring vision. At Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre in Toronto, Dr. Rootman can perform any of these laser eye surgery alternatives to give you crisper, clearer vision.
