adult eye exams

We provide thorough eye exams for adults of all ages. Your eyes don’t stop changing once you reach adulthood; they continue to undergo structural and functional changes, which can impact your eye health and vision. Seniors are at an increased risk for several eye diseases and should see an Optometrist every year. Barrhaven Optometric Centre relies on highly advanced technology and well-trained staff to provide outstandingly thorough and comprehensive eye exams. We are now accepting new patients of all ages.

WHEN DO I NEED AN EYE EXAM?

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends adults aged 20 through 64 have their eyes examined every two years or so.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EYE EXAM?

When you think of an eye exam, you most likely picture the wall chart with rows of letters in various sizes. That’s called a Snellen eye chart, and while it is part of an eye exam, our examinations go much deeper than that.

In addition to testing your near vision and distance vision, we use advanced diagnostic equipment to evaluate your eye health. Through wide-field fundus imagery, optical coherence tomography, and other state-of-the-art technology, we can assess your eyes’ internal structures, monitoring for any subtle indicators of changes or diseases.
