Eye Exams
Adults Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are not only for people who wear glasses or experience a lack of clear vision. Many
eye conditions do not present symptoms until the condition is in a more advanced stage. Regular eye exams can detect problems while they are still manageable.
According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, adults 20-39 should undergo an eye
examination every 2-3 years and adults 40-65 every 2 years. Of course, this could vary based on the advice of your Optometrist, particularly if you have underlying health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
During your appointment, we will verify your prescription and make changes as required. We will also
perform other examinations to determine overall eye health. Our Optometrists will discuss any
concerns you may have and make recommendations for maintaining eye health.

Preschool children should at least one eye examination between the ages of 2 and 5 years and school age children between 6 and 19 should undergo an examination annually.
