It is recommended to have a comprehensive routine eye exam at least once every one to two year(s). However, individuals with certain eye conditions or health issues may require more frequent exams as advised by our optometrists.

Our optometrists welcome patients of all ages! We make modifications to the exam based on the age group to ensure all our patients have a good experience and thorough examination.

An eye exam typically includes a series of tests to evaluate your vision, eye health, and detect any potential eye conditions or diseases. These tests may include visual acuity testing, refraction assessment, eye pressure measurement, and examination of the retina and other eye structures. Some patients may be recommended to have their pupils dilated by our optometrists to better examine the health of the eye. Click here to learn more →

A routine eye exam typically takes 20-30 minutes but may be longer if a dilation exam is also recommended by our optometrists.

Although not every patient is dilated, our optometrists may recommend dilation during your eye exam. The dilation test involves placing drops into the eye to increase pupil size so our doctors may better examine the health of your eyes. The side effects, blurry vision and increased light sensitivity, are expected to last on average of 2-3 hours. A pair of sunglasses may help increase comfort during this time.

Walkins are always welcome on availability bases. We highly recommend scheduling an appointment for an eye exam to ensure availability and minimize waiting time. You can easily book an appointment by calling our clinic at 905-257-1660.
