How Often Should You Have an Eye Exam?
Routine eye exams help safeguard your vision, even if you feel your eyes are healthy. Many eye conditions develop silently, showing no symptoms until they’ve progressed.
We follow the Canadian Optometric Association’s guidelines for adult eye exams:
- Ages 20–39: Every 2–3 years
- Ages 40–64: Every 2 years
- Ages 65+: Annually
If you have preexisting conditions or are at higher risk, we will recommend a customized exam schedule tailored to your needs.

It’s an all-encompassing experience when you visit us for your eye exam.

- Pretesting: Begin with preliminary assessments in our pretesting area.
- A comprehensive exam: In the exam room, your optometrist will review your medical history, address any concerns, and use our technology to assess your vision and overall eye health.
During your comprehensive eye exam, we will:
