Frequently asked questions about Optometry Clinics

Using medimap.ca you can easily find the best optometrist or eye clinic nearby. You can check their booking availability, and book a consultation using the medimap.ca website. The professional or clinic may or may not do a follow up call prior to the consultation for things such as pre-screening tests, etc.

An optometrist, commonly called an eye doctor, diagnoses and treats eye problems and disorders. Eye doctors perform about 80% of all primary eye exams in Canada, according to the Alberta Association of Optometrists.

After running any necessary tests, your eye doctor will diagnose the problem. Suggested treatments may include prescription eyeglasses, ointments, procedures, and more. Optometrists are licensed to write prescriptions for eyeglasses and medications for some eye problems.

Your doctor may also inform you that your eyes are healthy and nothing is required. Even if you don’t think anything is wrong, it’s good to get your eyes checked regularly at an optometry clinic. Similar to a doctor’s check-up, you may catch issues early and prevent it from worsening. Optometrists can even spot early signs of non-eye-related problems, like diabetes and high blood pressure.

Keep in mind that “sight” or “screening” tests can be performed by untrained individuals. These can test your sight but aren’t the same as a full exam designed to diagnose problems.

An optometrist is a doctor of optometry (OD), which is why they’re commonly called “eye doctors.” However, an optometrist is not a medical doctor (MD) and can only provide services for eye health.

Optometrist education includes a minimum of 3 years of an undergraduate program (usually a science program) and a 4-5 year optometry university program.

Graduates must also pass the Canadian Assessment of Competency in Optometry (CACO) before getting a license with their provincial governing body.

You should book your infant’s first eye examination between 6 and 9 months, according to the Canadian Association of Optometrists. Preschool children should have at least one eye exam between 2 and 5 years old. Kids between 6 and 19 should get an eye exam each year.

To get an eye exam for kids near you, enter your postal code on medimap.ca

When your eye exam cost isn’t covered under provincial health care or extended work benefits, you’ll need to pay out of pocket.

How much an eye exam costs depends on your location, the office, and the tests required. As such, fees can vary widely. You can expect clinic fees to be anywhere from $80 to $250 for an eye exam appointment.

You can improve your eye health by: Taking frequent screen time breaks. Protecting your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses when outdoors. Exercise often to increase blood flow to the eyes. Get eye exams often to detect any issues early on. Stop smoking, as it increases your chances of developing eye diseases.

Vitamin lutein is beneficial to eye health because it protects the eyes from damage caused by UV light and other environmental factors. It also aids in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

If you notice any changes in your vision, such as blurred vision, double vision, or trouble seeing at night, you should see an eye doctor. Some other signs of unhealthy eyes include redness, swelling, discharge, and discomfort.

Some ways to prevent your eyesight from getting worse include: Getting regular eye exams to detect any vision problems early. Protecting your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses. Eating a healthy diet with foods rich in antioxidants like carrots, leafy greens, and fish. Exercise on a regular basis to enhance blood circulation and reduce eye strain. When participating in sports or working with tools, wear protective eyewear. Limit your exposure to blue light emitted by digital devices, and take breaks from looking at screens to reduce eye strain. Stop smoking, as it increases the risk of getting eye disorders.

Eat a healthy diet Get adequate sleep Exercise often Quit smoking Perform eye exercises like tracking, focusing, and palming Take screen breaks Use eye drops Visit the eye doctor often

The treatment for blurry vision is determined by the underlying problem. Glasses or contact lenses may be prescribed if the cause is a refractive error such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. If the underlying issue is more serious, such as cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration, therapy may include surgery, medicines, or other therapies.

A variety of factors including genetics, age, and lifestyle, can cause your vision to decline. Poor lifestyle choices such as not exercising frequently, smoking, or having an unhealthy diet can lead to vision problems.

The main cause of dry eyes is an imbalance in the tear film or a lack of tear production. This can happen as a result of environmental conditions, medications, medical conditions, and/or aging.
