Blending technology & elevated eye care
Great eye care starts with great insight. That’s why we have invested in some of the most thorough diagnostic technology available. These tools help us detect and monitor eye disease early, customize your vision care, and give you a clear understanding of your eye health.
Whether you are here for a routine eye exam or a specialized assessment, you will benefit from the same precision-driven technology used in ophthalmology clinics and research institutions. We combine this high-level care with a personal, design-forward experience that reflects our commitment to every detail.

Thoughtful technology
Your eye care experience is more than just a checklist; it’s a chance to be proactive, precise, and personal. That’s why we combine diagnostic tools with curated design and genuine connection.
Our technology is here to uncover, not overwhelm. Every piece of equipment we use helps us see your eyes more clearly, so we can care for you more completely. From early disease detection to custom vision planning, these tools allow us to deliver care that is as informed as it is refined.
Our technology & what it can do
We stay current with the latest in eye care tools and research, giving Dr. Zaiffdeen a clearer picture of your vision health. This lets us catch changes early and personalize your care with confidence.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
50,000 scans of your eye in a single click
OCT uses low-intensity infrared light to create high-resolution, 3D images of the layers at the back of your eye. It works a bit like an MRI for your retina and optic nerve, capturing fine details in just seconds without any discomfort.This scan helps us detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal conditions before symptoms even appear.
Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HVA)
Detailed testing for your peripheral vision
The HVA maps out how well you see in all areas of your visual field, from center to periphery. You’ll be asked to respond to lights appearing in different areas, which helps us detect blind spots or subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.
This tool is especially helpful in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, but it can also reveal signs of neurological issues like optic nerve damage, brain tumours, or stroke. Tracking changes over time gives us important insight into your long-term vision health.
Optos Retinal Imaging
No dilation. No blur. No problem.
Our ultra-widefield Optos imaging system captures over 80% of your retina in a single scan compared to just 15% with traditional methods. It is quick, comfortable, and requires no stinging eye drops or recovery time.
This retinal imaging helps us detect early signs of retinal tears, diabetic changes, macular degeneration, and even systemic conditions like stroke or high blood pressure.
Optical Biometer + Corneal Topographer
Precision mapping for custom eye care
Our biometer and corneal topographer measure the shape and structure of your eye’s front surface. This data is essential for specialty contact lens fittings, myopia control, and pre-surgical consultations. It also helps monitor keratoconus and other corneal conditions with accuracy and confidence. We also offer pachymetry to measure corneal thickness with precision. It’s especially useful for glaucoma risk assessment, contact lens fittings, and LASIK evaluations.
A thoughtful approach to high-tech care
Our technology at The Monocle is about clarity, connection, and care. From detailed scans to personalized explanations, we use every tool with the intention to help you understand your vision and feel confident in your next steps.
Whether you are managing a condition or simply seeking a clearer understanding of your eye health, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
