Why eye exams matter

More than just
checking your prescription

A comprehensive eye exam is one of the most important health checks you can have. Many serious eye conditions — including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease — develop slowly with no obvious symptoms until significant damage has already occurred.

Regular eye exams at Look Optometry allow our optometrists to detect these conditions early, when they are most treatable — often before you notice any change in your vision.

Beyond eye health, your eyes can also reveal signs of systemic conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, and neurological changes.

"An eye exam isn't just about seeing clearly — it's a window into your overall health. We look at structures that can reveal early signs of systemic disease long before other symptoms appear."

— Dr. Saggu, Look Optometry
What's included

A complete picture of
your eye health

During a comprehensive eye exam at Look Optometry, we assess every important aspect of your vision and eye health using advanced diagnostic technology.

01
Vision & Prescription Testing

Accurate refraction testing to determine your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses — including single vision, bifocal, and progressive needs.

02
Eye Health Evaluation

Thorough examination using the Firefly slit lamp — a high-resolution digital imaging system that captures detailed views of the cornea, lens, and anterior segment.

03
Optos Retinal Imaging

The Optos captures over 80% of the retina in a single ultra-widefield image — detecting retinal tears, diabetic changes, macular degeneration, and more.

04
Glaucoma Screening

Intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve assessment to screen for glaucoma — one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in Canada.

05
Dry Eye Assessment

Evaluation of your tear film quality and meibomian gland function. If dry eye is detected, we can create a personalized treatment plan on the same visit.

06
Corneal Mapping

Medmont corneal topography maps the precise curvature of your cornea — essential for contact lens fittings, keratoconus detection, and specialty lens candidates.

Precise measurement of the eye's axial length — used in myopia management to monitor eye growth in children and guide treatment decisions over time.

Recommended frequency

How often should you
get an eye exam?

Eye exam frequency depends on your age, health history, and risk factors. Here are our general guidelines.

Children

Every Year

Children should have annual eye exams to support healthy visual development, learning, and early detection of myopia — which is increasing rapidly in kids.

Adults 19–64

Every 1–2 Years

Healthy adults benefit from a comprehensive exam every one to two years, or more frequently if you wear glasses, contact lenses, or have risk factors.

Seniors 65+

Every Year

Annual exams are recommended for older adults due to increased risk of age-related conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

High Risk

As Recommended

Patients with diabetes, dry eye, glaucoma, or a family history of eye disease may require more frequent monitoring. Your optometrist will advise accordingly.
