What To Expect During An Eye Exam

A comprehensive eye examination performed by our optometrists at Ottawa Valley Vision evaluates various aspects of the visual system. Our eye exams include an assessment of visual acuity, eye alignment, glasses prescription, and the health of the entire eye and surrounding eyelid structures. Eye examinations are an essential part of overall health and preventative health care as they can detect disorders and diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and neurological conditions like brain tumours and multiple sclerosis. Our eye doctors can also diagnose and manage common eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye disease, and macular degeneration.


Our optometrists use a wide variety of tools and technologies to perform comprehensive eye examinations. If any problems are detected with your eyes or visual system, our optometrists may recommend glasses, contact lenses, vision exercises, medication, or surgery. We collaborate and refer to various medical professionals, including ophthalmologists, family physicians, neurologists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, to ensure that your visual health is managed appropriately.

Benefits of Regular Eye Exams

Regular eye examinations play a crucial role in maintaining optimal eye health and overall well-being. Here are the top three benefits of getting routine eye exams to help you understand the importance of prioritizing your vision and ocular health.

  • Early Detection of Eye Diseases

    Regular eye exams enable optometrists to detect early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, retinal detachments, and ocular cancers, allowing for timely treatment and management, potentially preventing vision loss.

  • Monitoring and Correcting Vision Changes

    As you age, your vision may change, and regular eye exams ensure that any necessary adjustments are made to your prescription, providing you with the best possible vision and comfort.

  • Detection of Systemic Health Issues

    Eye exams can reveal signs of systemic health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and neurological disorders, allowing for early intervention and better management of these conditions and providing you with the best possible vision, comfort and performance throughout your day.

FAQs

  • How long does an adult eye exam typically take?

    An adult eye exam at Ottawa Valley Vision usually takes approximately 30-45 minutes. This time allows our optometrists to thoroughly evaluate your eye health, visual acuity, eye alignment, and glasses prescription. Additional tests may be performed if necessary, which may slightly increase the duration of the exam. We recommend allotting one hour for your appointment to account for any questions or concerns you may have.

  • What should I bring with me to my eye exam appointment?

    Please bring your current eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses (if applicable) to your eye exam appointment. Additionally, provide a list of any medications you are currently taking and your medical history. If you require specific visual assessments, such as for occupational or driving requirements, please inform our staff when booking the appointment.

  • How often should I book an eye exam?

    For most adults, a comprehensive eye examination is recommended once every two years. However, for adults with a sight-threatening visual condition, our eye doctors may recommend more frequent follow-ups. If you have concerns about your eye health or sight, do not hesitate to call Ottawa Valley Vision to book an eye examination, even if you are not yet due for your routine eye check-up.
