Yes! An eye exam is more than just determining if you need vision correction. They are comprehensive health assessments that can prevent, detect and help us manage ocular diseases.
Glasses and contact lenses are medical devices specific to the user. Optometrists are able to determine what your vision needs are and prescribe them.
Most glasses and contact lens prescriptions are valid for one year, however; there are circumstances when this has to be adjusted and is based on individuals systemic and ocular health.
This varies from person to person! If you have had a large shift in vision it is important to give your eyes and brains time to adjust. We usually recommend trying new glasses for 2 weeks. We do have a non-adapt policy and have protocols to help if you are not adapting to your new prescription.

Children 0-9 are fully covered by BC Medical for their exams.

Comprehensive Eye Exams
For both adults and children alike, eye exams are an important part of one’s general health maintenance and assessment. Routine, annual eye exams are important to maintain optimal vision sharpness, treat new or existing problems, and detect eye conditions or other serious health conditions. During a comprehensive eye examination, one of our Optometrist's will be looking for initial signs of these diseases. If a problem with your eyes arises such as red eyes, eye allergies, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, always seek an Optometrist as your first doctor to call since they are specifically trained to treat eye diseases.
Eye Exams Over 40
Just like the rest of our bodies, our eyes begin to weaken as we age. There are a number of common age-related eye conditions such as presbyopia, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration that can begin to affect your vision and your daily life. While some of these conditions are more of an inconvenience, others could lead to vision loss and dependency.
Eye Exams for Infants
A baby’s visual system develops gradually over the first few months of life. You can ensure that your baby is reaching milestones by keeping an eye on what is happening with your infant’s development and by ensuring that you schedule a comprehensive infant eye exam at 6 months. At this exam, the Optometrist will check that your child is seeing properly and developing on track and look for conditions that could impair eye health or vision such as strabismus (misalignment or crossing of the eyes), farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism.
Eye Exams for Children
If your child is having developmental delays or trouble in school there could be an underlying vision problem. Proper learning, motor development, reading, and many other skills are dependent upon not only good vision, but your eyes functioning together.
