Eye Associates
Eye Associates of North Bay serving the surrounding areas of West Nipissing, and Callander, ON!. The Eye Associates of North Bay have been leaders in eye care in North Bay Ontario since 1970. Dr. Mike Cobean and Dr. Kristen Kincaid are proud to offer advanced technology in a friendly and caring environment.

Our optometric services include comprehensive eye exams, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, eye emergencies and much more. We fit prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses. Our clinic features a beautiful optical showroom with exclusive lines of designer eyewear and frames to suit every budget.
Services
A comprehensive eye exam includes a number of tests and procedures to examine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. These tests range from simple ones, like having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to examine the health of the tissues inside of your eyes.
Dr. Cobean and Dr. Kincaid are trained and licensed to diagnose and treat diseases of the eye. We routinely prescribe topical and oral medications for infections, inflammations, pain, dry eye, glaucoma and allergies. We also work with the top specialists and surgeons in the province to make referrals and co-manage when indicated.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph or HRT is a safe, non-invasive confocal scanning laser imaging device that can be used to obtain three-dimensional images of the optic nerve head and retina in the posterior segment. The HRT works by focusing a confocal diode laser beam with mirrors on the retina and the nerve head.
Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. We offer the optomap Retinal Exam as an important part of our eye exams. The optomap Retinal Exam produces an image that is as unique as your fingerprint and provides us with a wide view to look at the health of your retina. The retina is the part of your eye that captures the image of what you are looking at, similar to film in a camera.
In our commitment to providing the highest level of eye care available, we were the first clinic in North Bay and (remain among the very few) to provide OCT as part of our comprehensive exam. OCT is an analogous to ultrasound in that it forms 3D images of the eye; however, because the wavelength of light is much shorter than that of sound, OCT technology is capable of generating images of a much higher resolution.

Wow…..what an eye opener (no pun intended)! My first time getting my eyes dilated in order for the good Dr to look into my retinas…seeing those pics of the inside of my eyes was something else…not so great about the possible rip in my retina, but still awesome pics….Dr Cobean and his staff were great..he explained everything and answered my… questions, without rushing me out the door…they all went above and way beyond my expectations…my spouse told me about them but I really got the excellent treatment first hand…. Thank You Eye Associates

Everybody is so nice and knowledgeable here. Dr Cobain will always take the time to explain to you what he sees in the picture of your eye. Always a nice experience when I go

I brought my son here to have his eye issues addressed, I almost couldn't belive how amazing they were here. Apart from reception through email, they seem to lack a bit in this area. Nevertheless the staff and the doctor were patient and knowledgeable. They made my son, who was a bit nervous, feel comfortable about the eye exam and the notion of needing eye glasses. Haley is hands down the best!
I even booked an appointment for myself!
A large selection of frames to choose from and at every price point!
I don't leave many reviews, but customer service like this should be recognized. Thank you

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Especially during a pandemic. My hats off to everyone who works here. The treatment from the first phone call, to the actual appointment and then picking out glasses was truly outstanding. You can tell that everyone works as a team and it really feels like a family experience.

We called them in January 2020 to book appts for my husband and me, our appt was for June 11, 2020, a couple weeks before our appt. They called and asked us if they can cancel our appt and rebook, we said okay, here we're sitting waiting for them to call, finally got fed up with waiting so I called them today June 24 to see when will they book us for, and all of a sudden Dana the person I spoke with, said that because of covid-19 they're not taking new patients, so I asked why didnt you tell us when you cancelled our appt that you're not taking new patients, no answer to that. They have no decency

I was given a prescription for eyeglasses at a competitor in North Bay and was overwhelmed with the costs associated with starting up.
Eye Associates Of North Bay was able to make the process as easy as possible providing top of the line glasses with affordable prices!

Doctors and Staff have been working with me for months to diagnose and treat a recurring issue with my eyes. They’ve accommodated multiple short notice appointments to assess me when these issues flare up without warning. Excellent service all around from everyone, helpful and compassionate to my issue. Highly recommended.

Very friendly, the ladies were patient and understand with my son. I thought it would be a real stressful apt knowing my son just turned 4yrs old but they were understanding and very helpful. They take time to do what’s best for the kids, if they seen he was getting bored, they let him run and jump around for a bit till his focus came back to the task at hand.

Looking for an Optometrist...look no further!!! Eyes Associates of North Bay is the place to be! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They were very professional and explained every test. Dr.Lam took his time during my appointment and was very informative. Christine was an incredible help with finding the right glasses and took her time to give me her honest opinion about what worked and what didn't. I would highly recommend Eye Associates of North Bay! You won't regret it!!

Very friendly and helpful. Great at personalizing the experience. As of now I am a life long patient. On top of all of that they have technology that I have never seen at any other optometrist before.

Awesome experience every time I walk through the doors. All the doctors and staff members have excellent knowledge in all aspects of eye care and are very friendly.
Not only do they care about the health of your eyes, they care about the customers. I personally witnessed an employee hold an umberella for a patient in a wheelchair until they got on the bus.
I highly recommend for all of your eye care needs.
