Eye Exams
Are Eye Exams Covered under MSP?
Do I need an Eye Exam?
We recommend regular eye exams for all our patients.
Many conditions and diseases often do not have noticeable symptoms and detection in the early stages is when many are most treatable. The frequency is dictated by an individual’s age and health and as such you should follow the schedule recommended to you by your optometrist or ophthalmologist. If no recall schedule was recommended to you we suggest to follow the minimum frequency as recommended by the Canadian Ophthalmology Society. Their generalized recommended schedule is as follows:
19-40 years old: at least every 10 years
41-55 years old: at least every 5 years
56-65 years old: at least every 3 years
over 65 years old: at least every 2 years
While we currently do not offer in office eye exams we have recommendations we can make for places in the area. Once you have your eyes examined we invite you to come see us so we can help you with your glasses and contact lens needs.
