My son is a patient of Dr. Maharaj for Vision Therapy to treat convergence insufficiency. He was 6 years old when he started and Dr. M was well equipped to deal with a boy his age. She has a natural approach with children and is stocked with tools to keep an active boy like my son engaged throughout the session. As early as 6 visits in we started seeing benefits from the therapy. I am SO THANKFUL we found Dr. M when we did...as she was not the first Dr. we saw for VT. Our first experience was traumatic as the other clinic was not good with children and brought my son to tears. Ancaster Family Eyecare was able to take us in right away and picked up the pieces without skipping a beat. The first clinic made us go through 2 months of assessment...Dr. M assessed Owen right away and he started therapy within a week or two. To this day my son always looks forward to his visits with Dr. M. I would encourage anyone with small children with vision issues to call Ancaster Family Eyecare. It is such a well run family oriented clinic!

Not only is Dr. Maharaj the kindest and most patient optometrist I have ever had, but she is fantastic at what she does and helps me to understand what is going on with my eyes by explaining interesting processes to me. I leave every appointment feeling very understood and valued as a patient. I am undergoing vision therapy for amblyopia (lazy eye) as well, and this has been great so far. I have been given so much hope that was not afforded to me before I reached out to Ancaster Family Eyecare. As someone who has gone misunderstood for so long, it is so refreshing to have had such a positive experience. The receptionists/technicians are amazing as well, and they always make me feel like I am welcome in the office! I cannot recommend Ancaster Family Eyecare enough. Looking forward to my next appointment!

I had a great experience with the Ancaster Family Eyecare Clinic. All of the staff were kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Singh was thorough and patient through the long process of fitting scleral lenses. I would definitely recommend this clinic and look forward to continuing to be followed there.

Q&A with Drs. Maharaj and Singh

Our Optometrist’s Answer Your Eyecare Questions:

Am I able to wear contact lenses?

Most patients are able to wear contact lenses as long as they are evaluated and fit properly by one of our doctors. Contacts are a medical device and a proper fit and evaluation is critical to ensure your eye health is not affected by contact lens wear.

A doctor of optometry is the best source for this type of evaluation. Contacts can now correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and can even come in a bifocal/multifocal prescription!

For success with contact lenses the patient needs to be motivated to wear contacts. At our office, we offer an extensive training and fitting program with contact lenses to ensure the patient is given all the tools needed to succeed!
