When Do I Need an Eye Exam?
We know you’re busy and it can be tough to fit in your healthcare appointments. Eye exams should become a part of your routine health checkups, and we’re here to guide you through the process. The frequency depends on your health history, age, and risk factors.
Low-Risk or Asymptomatic Patients
For low-risk or asymptomatic patients, Dr. Abrams follows the guidelines set out by the Canadian Optometric Association, which indicates that:
- Patients 20 to 39 should have an eye exam every 2 to 3 years
- Patients 40 to 64 should have an eye exam every 2 years
- Patients 65 and older should have an eye exam every year
High-Risk Patients
Some patients are at a higher risk of developing eye disease, which may result in more frequent eye exams to detect and monitor changes to your vision. If any of the following risk factors are true for you, please book an appointment so we can recommend an eye exam schedule based on your needs:
- Personal or family history of eye disease
- Chronic health conditions, including high blood pressure & diabetes
- Taking medication with visual side effects
- Previous eye injury or eye surgery
- Progressive or high refractive errors
What Happens During an Eye Exam?
We know your time is a precious commodity, so we make sure that your eye exam doesn’t take up more time than it needs to. A comprehensive eye exam at our office takes 30–60 minutes.
To begin, you meet face to face with Dr. Abrams, who will ask about your medical history and any vision concerns you may have. Then, to evaluate your overall eye health, Dr. Abrams will use his expertise and high-quality technology to test your eyes for the following:
- Visual acuity: the sharpness and clarity of your vision
- Refractive errors: determines your prescription (if you need one)
- Depth perception, colour vision, and peripheral vision
- Eye focus and eye movement
- Intraocular pressure (IOP): the pressure inside the eye
- Signs of eye diseases
To finish your appointment, Dr. Abrams will discuss your results and the next steps with you. You may require a follow-up appointment for further testing, or we may invite you to the optical dispensary where our fashion-savvy staff will help you browse our stylish frames.
