What does the eye exam include?

The eye exam includes a comprehensive ocular health and visual assessment involving over 50 tests, retinal photography with optomap, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field tests when indicated.

What should I bring to my eye exam?

When preparing for your eye exam with Spadina Optometry be sure to bring along any glasses and/or contact lenses that you use. This will help the doctor determine how well you see with your current prescription; for new patients this will also help us to determine if there have been any changes in your vision.

We also recommend you bring a pair of sunglasses to your appointment as the doctor may want to dilate your pupils in order to better assess your eye health. The eye drops used to dilate the pupils can temporarily cause light sensitivity and blurry near vision.
