Prescription glasses

Our optometrists offer comprehensive eye exams to improve your vision through prescription glasses. If you haven’t had an eye exam in a while, or if you know your prescription is outdated, schedule an exam now.

How do I know if I need glasses? 

It might be time to have an eyeglass exam and have your vision checked if you experience:

• Difficulty reading up close (farsightedness)
• Poor distance vision (nearsightedness)
• Frequent headaches
• Blurred or double vision
• Poor night vision

What happens during an eyeglasses exam?

Your comprehensive eyeglasses exam includes an evaluation of your previous history and prior eyeglass prescription, if applicable. Most eye exams include:

• Vision screening
• Testing for visual acuity
• Colour blindness test
• Eye function evaluation
• Depth perception analysis

How often should I change my glasses? 

Our optometrists recommend an eye exam annually to see if your prescription has changed. However, some medical aids only cover an eyeglasses exam and new frames once every two years. If your prescription changes, you can continue using your current frames, and if your vision has not changed, you can continue wearing the glasses you have.
