Eye Exams


 









"Why do I need a full exam? I only came in for a pair of glasses."

Just because you can see well doesn't mean you have good eye health.  A recent study presented at the American Academy of Optometry involving 133 optometrists across Canada and 24,570 patients revealed that 20% of patients who presented for a routine eye exam were found to have eye disease and 58% were unaware of the disease.  That means that as many as one in six patients who present for a routine eye exam have no symptoms of disease.  This study supports the importance of a full ocular health assessment with each eye examination.
