As we get older, our eyes go through natural changes and become more susceptible to conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Many of these conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms — which is why we recommend annual eye exams for adults aged 65 and over.
Every exam includes a review of your eyeglass prescription, a personalized treatment plan, and, if discussed, a contact lens prescription.
** Included as clinically indicated.
From emergency visits to long-term eye health, patients trust us for compassionate care, clear communication, and a team that truly listens. Read what they say about their experience.

In Ontario, OHIP will cover the cost of an eye examination once every 12 months for patients up to 19 years of age, and once every 18 months for patients over 65 years of age.
