Your Eye Examination – Complete eye examinations are recommended once every 2 years for adults, once a year for children and seniors. Your optometrist may examine your eyes annually or even more frequently if certain eye conditions are detected. In general, an eye examination includes a health history, a vision assessment, an evaluation of the eyes’ muscle control and co-ordination, a refraction to determine the prescription needed to optimize the eyes’ vision, an inspection of the internal and external health of the eyes and a glaucoma test. Your optometrist may also perform other tests, depending on the individual needs of your eyes. In any case, an eye examination is a straightforward and painless experience and is an important component to maintaining your overall health.

Children’s Eye Exams –The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that a child should have a complete eye examination before the age of 4 years old. However, it is never too early for your child’s first eye examination. Eye exams early in life are crucial in developing healthy eyesight for life.

Senior’s Eye Exams – Since many eye disorders are age-related, it is recommended that patients over the age of 65 have their eyes examined on an annual basis. Charlottetown Vision Care is wheelchair accessible and we would be happy to help you maintain healthy vision as your eyes age.

Visual Field Testing – The doctors and staff of Charlottetown Vision Care are trained in using in-office Humphrey visual field testing. This specialty testing can assist in early diagnosis and/or monitoring of many disorders such as glaucoma and other retinal and neurological disorders.

Laser Vision Care, Follow-up - Charlottetown Vision Care is a TLC (The Laser Centre) approved clinic for pre-laser surgery care and follow-up. We work closely with the doctors and staff to help you make informed decision regarding laser vision correction. Free information sessions are frequently held at our office with TLC in which specialty testing is offered to help determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you would like to join us for our next session, please e-mail us at eyes@isn.net.
