Eye Exam

Optometrist since 1995, Dr Gloria Cortés managed two clinics throughout the last 15 years.

She is a member of the Ordre des optométristes du Québec (OOQ), of the Quebec Association of Optometrists (AOQ), of the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) and of the American Academy of Optometry (AAO). She makes sure to update her knowledge and her competencies in her field through a rigourous continuous learning program.

Ocular Emergencies

As an empathetic person, she understands the needs of her patients and is always ready to act in case of an ocular emergency.

Emergencies include the presence of a foreign object in the eye (appointments available the same day) and a sudden visual changes such as a significantly diminished vision, the narrowing or loss of sight, a double vision, the veiling of the vision, the apparition of flashes and the impression of seeing flotting particles.

In case of redness, pain, inflammation, secretion, pimple or bump on the eyelid and hypersensibility to light, amonsgt others, it is crucial to be seen quickly.

Visual Rehabilitation

She works very easily with kids, which allows her to proceed with the visual exams at the same time as she detects, evaluates and treats some visual disorders. Otherwise, these disorders could lead to concentration and learning issues in school.

The treatments aim to bring back visual functions or to develop weakened abilities. The causes of these abnormalities can include an ocular deviation or a refractive disordre that hasn't been corrected. They can also be attributed to bad posture, which could contribute to focusing, vision and comfort problems.

Thanks to regular exercises and follow-ups, the ocular muscles and the eye focusing system can become better. Sight as a whole can therefore be bettered.
