How Often Do I Need an Eye Exam?

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that low-risk patients adhere to these guidelines at a minimum:

Adults between the ages of 20 to 39 should have an eye exam every 2 to 3 years.
Adults between the ages of 40 to 64 should have an eye exam every 2 years.
Adults 65 years and older should have an annual eye exam.

Patients with diabetes, high myopia, or other vision conditions should have more frequent examinations. We will work with you and your unique needs to determine the best exam schedule for your eyes.

Book your appointment today to keep on track with your eye health.

What Happens During an Eye Exam?

When you first walk into our practice, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team. If you’re a new patient, we’ll ask some questions about your health history, lifestyle, and current medications. We’ll discuss your family history, give you time to ask questions and address any concerns.

Comprehensive eye exams are more than just a vision test. Our questions about your health and family history are designed to help us assess your risk factors for eye diseases or other vision conditions.

During the exam, we will carefully and thoroughly evaluate both the internal and external structures of the eye using the latest technology. We will measure your visual acuity to determine whether you need corrective lenses or if you already have them if your prescription is up-to-date.

We may also assess your colour vision, binocular vision (how well the eyes work as a team), depth perception, and how your pupils respond to light.

Book Your Appointment Today

Even if you think you have perfect vision, it’s still important to have regular eye exams. Eye diseases can begin with little to no symptoms, so a comprehensive exam remains the best way to assess any early signs of eye disease.

Preserve your sight for years to come by booking a comprehensive eye exam today for every member of your family.
