Regular eye exams are a vital tool for safeguarding both your eye health and your vision. Undiagnosed or untreated eye diseases and other vision problems can lead to visual impairment or even blindness. That is why all eye exams performed at Dr. Zargar Eyecare include testing for vision-threatening diseases and conditions.
The Canadian Optometric Association recommends that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 have their eyes examined every 2 years. However, most optometrists suggest yearly visits, particularly for patients with vision or eye health problems.
Our eyes require more care and attention as we age, which is why the Canadian Optometric Association suggests that adults aged 65 and older have their eyes examined annually.
Depending on your eye health and vision needs, your optometrist may recommend that you have your eyes examined more frequently than the guidelines suggest.
During your exam, we will ensure your medical history is up to date, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
The purpose of an eye exam is to determine your overall eye health and assess your vision using a variety of tests. Your optometrist will also check that your prescription is up to date, and look for signs of eye disease or other problems.
