When Should You Have an
Eye Exam?
The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends:
- Adults aged 20–64: every 2 years
- Seniors 65 and older: annually
Routine eye exams are crucial for maintaining your vision and detecting issues early, even before symptoms develop. Depending on your health history, vision changes, or risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits.
What to Bring to
Your Appointment
Your eye care is important to us. To make the most of your visit, please bring:
- Your B.C. Services Card
- Any insurance cards (for direct billing or reimbursement)
- Your current prescription glasses or your previous prescription
- Contact lens packaging or prescription (if applicable)
If you’re interested in trying contacts, let us know—we can often add a contact lens exam and fitting to your visit.
Why Eye Exams
Matter
Regular eye exams are one of the best ways to detect early signs of vision changes or eye disease, often before you notice symptoms. Our comprehensive exams check your vision and overall eye health, and include screenings for:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Diabetic eye disease
- Flashes, floaters & more
We’ll take the time to explain your results, answer your questions, and recommend any next steps to protect your sight.
Dilation & Retinal Imaging
To check the health of your retina, we may dilate your eyes or use optomap retinal imaging. Both these tests provide us with an excellent view of your retina, helping us to identify vision impairment, blindness, and life-threatening diseases.
To prepare for eye dilation, we ask you to bring a pair of sunglasses to your appointment. Sunglasses will help protect your eyes from any light sensitivity after dilation. For most patients, the dilation process will not affect their ability to operate a vehicle safely; however, their vision may be slightly blurry.
