Adult Eye Exams (Ages 18–64)

Adults often delay eye exams until their vision changes, but many conditions, including glaucoma, dry eye, and early retinal changes, develop with no noticeable symptoms. That’s why we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, even if your vision appears to be fine. 

During your adult eye exam in Waterdown, we assess: 

  • Visual acuity and refractive status 
  • Eye pressure and glaucoma screening 
  • Digital retinal imaging 
  • Early signs of diabetic eye disease 
  • Symptoms related to screen use or night driving 
  • Overall ocular health and visual comfort 

If you wear contact lenses, we include a corneal evaluation and lens fit check as part of your exam. Our optometrists help you understand your results and guide you toward clear, comfortable vision. 

Senior Eye Exams (Ages 65 and Up)

As we age, the risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions increases. Our senior eye exams in Waterdown closely monitor these risks, protect functional vision, and support safety and independence. 

Senior exams include: 

  • Screening and tracking of cataracts 
  • Evaluation for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) 
  • Diabetic eye exams with retinal imaging 
  • Glaucoma testing and visual field assessments 
  • Dry eye evaluations and treatment planning 
  • Vision safety, and mobility assessments 

Seniors aged 65 and older are typically eligible for one OHIP-covered eye exam per year. If you have questions about coverage, our staff is happy to help.

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

Each appointment includes: 

  • A full review of your vision history and lifestyle.
  • Testing based on age, symptoms, and health risk factors.
  • High-resolution retinal imaging, if recommended.
  • Time to discuss your results and options in plain language.
  • Ongoing care planning and referrals if needed.

We use diagnostic tools such as OCT scans, fundus photography, and intraocular pressure testing to ensure that we identify issues early and provide the appropriate care at the right time.
