Comprehensive eye exam

Regular eye exams are essential for lifelong vision and overall health, serving not only to check for glasses but also to screen for serious conditions affecting your eyes and wellbeing.

Why do eye exams matter?

Many eye conditions develop gradually without obvious symptoms, making regular examination crucial for early detection. Additionally, your eyes can reveal signs of health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and neurological conditions. We recommend bi-annual eye tests for most adults, with more frequent examinations for those with existing conditions or higher risk factors.

What to expect during your eye examination

Your comprehensive exam begins with a discussion of your vision needs, lifestyle, and concerns. We assess visual acuity, check for refractive errors, and examine eye health inside and out. Using advanced equipment, we capture images of your retina (the light-sensitive layer that sends visual information to your brain) and optic nerve (the fibres carrying these signals), as well as measure eye pressure and, when needed, test peripheral vision.
