Comprehensive Eye Exams in Calgary for All Ages

What Should I Expect From an Eye Exam?

Annual eye exams are your best friend in making sure that you have healthy eyes and that you’re seeing optimally. Eye exams are beneficial for people who need vision correction and have 20/20 visual acuity.

​

Calgary eye exams are the best way to ensure early detection of any health issues related to eye health and vision.  If left untreated, eye disease or vision impairments not only affect your ongoing eye care but also affect your overall health.  Regular eye exams are critical when it comes to your eye care needs, and they are the best way to stay on top of any eye health concerns. 

​

In your eye exam, there are a number of things that you can expect to see.  

​

• A review of your general health

• Your vision and eye health

  • Refractive error: Do you have hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism or presbyopia?

  • Perception: Color vision, depth perception, eye muscle coordination

  • Blurry distance or reading vision

  • Eye strain and headaches

  • Sports vision for performance

  • Safety driving

  • We always recommend that children get their eyes and vision examined to ensure they achieve their full potential for school and learning. A child can be misdiagnosed with having a learning disability if s/he has an underlying eye condition.

  • We will look for visual acuity, eye infections and any current eye diseases

• Prevention of Vision Loss and eye disease​s

​

Your Optometrist will ask about your medical history, eye health, and any vision problems. They will check your vision and confirm that your eyes are working optimally. Here is a rundown of the tests you can expect to see during annual eye exam (no need to study for this test).

​

We wanted to share why our exam fee is the way it is:

 

1. We continually invest back into delivering a phenomenal experience. We have technology that allows us to take care of your eyes to the highest level you can get anywhere (say goodbye to air blowing into your eyes).

2. We spend time with you. We walk you through every result and the reason behind each test.

3. We spare people from getting their eyes dilated. We can do that because of the equipment we invested in

4. You always walk out with something new. We always look to get our people to test drive the latest in contact lens technology. 

​

For those who like learning more about technology, you can learn more about our optomap retinal imaging here. 

 

This gives us a ultra-widefield, high-resolution, digital image of your retina. This becomes part of your permanent medical record and allows us to see more of the back of your eye. We will track changes in your eye over time by comparing each visit. 

​

We are dedicated to offering our people the best eye care. We understand that we may not be for everyone and that's okay. We're here for you when you're ready to experience an honest, caring approach to eye care.
