Assess & Evaluate

Our clinic provides full-service eye care. We take care of your overall eye health, from contact lenses exams to binocular vision assessments and vision therapy.

A comprehensive eye exam provides a baseline assessment of eye function and binocular vision. Not only do we screen your vision for clarity and precision, we evaluate your overall ocular health to ensure there are no systemic conditions that should be treated.

We pride ourselves on patient education. You’ll never leave our office wondering about the state of your vision. We go over all our exam findings with you to make sure you’re an active partner in your own healthcare.

Nous offrons des services optométriques complets, y compris des tests de vision et un dépistage de la santé des yeux—en français aussi.

If My Vision Is Good, Do I Still Need an Eye Exam?

The short answer is “absolutely”—book your appointment today.

The longer answer is that even if your eyesight is excellent, many eye diseases and conditions can progress behind the scenes with no apparent symptoms. A thorough eye exam can detect the signs of ocular health conditions you might not see—or feel—before vision loss occurs.

Your sight lets you interact with the world around you, and it’s important to defend it against any potential threats. Ocular health is closely linked to whole-body health, and optometrists can detect conditions that impact more than just your eyes.

Your eye care professional can find conditions like brain tumours, high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and liver damage.

So don’t delay. Book your appointment today.

What Happens During an Eye Exam?

Our eye exams are scheduled for 30 minutes. During that time, we’ll have a conversation about the reasons for your appointment and listen to any concerns you may have.

We’d like to get a brief overview of your medical history too. Once we’ve answered your questions and better understand your overall health, we’ll proceed with the exam.

Depending on your unique situation, you’ll undergo a series of standard eye tests using the latest ocular analysis technology. We’ve spared no expense in investing in the tools to help you see your best.

Visual Acuity

We use a Snellen eye chart to determine how clear and crisp your vision is. You’ll be asked to read a series of letters on the chart. We’re aiming to determine the smallest writing you can see.

Keratometry

We may measure the curvature of your cornea to look for signs of astigmatism.

Cover Test

Cover test is used to determine ocular alignment to make sure both eyes are pointing in the same direction. This test tells us if your eyes are working together as a team

Ocular Movement Test

We measure your eye movement in response to images, light, or other triggers.

Refraction

Refraction measures your prescription for glasses or contact lenses.

How Often Do I Need an Eye Exam?

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends adults aged 20–39 get an eye exam every 2–3 years. After the age of 40 until your golden years, exam frequency should increase to every 2 years. People who wear contact lenses or those who have diabetes should be sure to have annual exams.

Those over 65 should undergo an annual comprehensive eye exam. Seniors are at a higher risk of developing sight-threatening conditions like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, or glaucoma.

Of course, every situation is different, and your optometrist may recommend more frequent exams based on your health or condition.
