FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Vision, Answered
How often should I have a comprehensive eye examination?
For most adults, a comprehensive eye exam is recommended every one to two years.
However, if you are over 60, have a family history of glaucoma, or live with conditions such as diabetes, an annual check-up is vital to monitor your ocular health.
What is the difference between a sight test and a clinical eye exam?
- Sight Test: This is a basic refraction test used to determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. It focuses purely on how well you can see.
- Clinical Eye Exam: This is a thorough medical assessment. The optometrist examines the internal and external structures of your eyes to screen for conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration, as well as signs of systemic health issues like high blood pressure.
Can I get my driver’s licence screening done at your practice?
Yes. We provide the official vision screenings required for driver’s licence renewals and applications. We assess your visual acuity and field of vision to ensure you meet the legal standards for the road and provide the certified results required for the department.
How do I know if I am a candidate for contact lenses?
Most people are suitable candidates for contact lenses, including those with astigmatism. During a contact lens fitting, we evaluate your eye shape and tear film to find the most comfortable option. Modern lens technologies mean that even patients who previously struggled with dryness can often wear lenses successfully.
Do you offer support for digital eye strain or computer fatigue?
Definitely. We provide several solutions to combat "Computer Vision Syndrome," including:
- Anti-glare and blue light coatings to reduce visual fatigue from digital displays.
- Occupational lenses specifically designed for office environments and intermediate distances.
- Advice on workplace ergonomics and the 20-20-20 rule to help your eyes relax during the working day.
