Trusted eye care for Aurora families
Parham Optical has long been a familiar name on Yonge Street in Aurora, and Dr. Roxanna Gangi continues that tradition of approachable, family-centred optometry. Patients of every age — from a child's first comprehensive eye exam to retired adults managing presbyopia or early cataracts — receive the same careful, unhurried attention.
If you've been searching for an Aurora optometrist who explains every finding in plain language and tailors recommendations to your real day-to-day vision needs, this clinic is built for you. The exam room uses modern diagnostic instruments so issues like dry eye, refractive change, and early signs of glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy can be detected before they affect your sight.
What to expect during your eye exam in Aurora
A complete eye exam in Aurora with Dr. Roxanna Gangi typically takes 30–45 minutes. After a friendly intake about your vision, lifestyle, screen time, family history, and any current medications, the exam progresses through visual acuity testing, an updated prescription check (refraction), eye-pressure measurement, and a detailed front- and back-of-eye health assessment.
Where appropriate, additional testing such as visual field assessment for glaucoma or driving forms, retinal photography, and pupil-dilation imaging is offered. Findings are explained on the spot, and Dr. Roxanna Gangi will recommend the right follow-up — whether that's a new prescription, a contact lens trial, dry-eye therapy, or a referral for surgical co-management.
Children, seniors, and OHIP coverage in Aurora
Children under 19 and adults 65 and over are covered by OHIP for an annual eye exam in Ontario, and Parham Optical bills OHIP directly for eligible patients. Adults with certain medical conditions — including diabetes, glaucoma, retinal pathology, and post-cataract care — may also qualify for OHIP-covered visits. If you're unsure, just ask when you book and the front desk will confirm your coverage.
Children's vision changes quickly during the school years. Catching even a small uncorrected prescription early can dramatically affect reading, focus, and confidence in class. Annual children's eye exams are strongly encouraged for every Aurora family.
