A comprehensive eye exam does more than determine your glasses or contact lens prescription. Our optometrists assess your vision, eye coordination and focusing ability, while also examining the health of your eyes.
Regular eye exams can help detect conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and dry eye, sometimes before noticeable symptoms develop.
We are accepting new patients of all ages.
Regular eye exams are an important part of maintaining healthy vision. Some eye diseases can develop without noticeable symptoms, which is why routine examinations can help identify changes to your eye health at an early stage.
The Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists recommends the following minimum examination frequency:
• Adults (20–64 years): Every 1–2 years
• Adults 65 and older: Annually
Your optometrist may recommend more frequent examinations depending on your eye health, medical history, medications or other risk factors.
Certain health conditions, medications and other risk factors may mean that more frequent eye exams are recommended. These can include:
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• A family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration
• Medications that can affect the eyes or vision
• Work or activities that place increased demands on your vision or expose your eyes to potential hazards
Your optometrist can recommend an examination schedule based on your individual eye health and risk factors.
