Your eyes never really stop changing. That’s why regular eye exams are so important. This is even more true with seniors; age increases risk for certain conditions and diseases, making the eye exam more crucial than ever. Once age 60 is reached, an eye exam is recommended no less than once a year. If you are 60 or older, call and make an appointment today.
At In Focus Eyecare, every patient is special to us, we’ll always make time to talk with you. We’ll do everything we can to give your appointment a personal touch.
We’re very proud of our totally unique supertech program at our Lakeshore clinic and coming soon to our other locations. When you come for an eye exam, you’ll be paired with one of our amazing supertechs! Your supertech will escort you in, gather your relevant eye and health history and perform preliminary tests.
Once your optometrist arrives, your supertech will assist and record the eye exam. After your eye doctor has completed the exam and summary, your supertech will stay with you, review your results on our interactive video training system, and then discuss eye care options that best suit your lifestyle.
Finally, your supertech will help you select and stand out in style with your new eyewear.
Our supertechs and the entire team are here to make sure your questions are answered, your concerns are put to rest, and you feel confident we’ve taken the best care of your vision and visual needs.
Our eye exam is designed to tell us everything about your vision and eye health. We test your vision, acuity, eye coordination, prescription, etc, and then assess your eye health with our state-of-the-art diagnostic technology; all in a comfortable and informative manner.
Many eye diseases don’t show any symptoms until they’ve already caused permanent vision loss. By performing an eye exam, we’re screening for and hopefully ruling out these eye diseases. Then we’ll take the time to educate you on how to minimize your risk of developing them in the future.
When the blood vessels in the retina start to deteriorate, reduced blood flow and bleeding cause reduced function of the macula; the cluster of cells that are responsible for your central vision. This disease is called age-related macular degeneration, and it’s the leading cause of vision loss in Canada.
Once AMD is detected, it can be slowed with treatment; preserving your vision. However, AMD usually develops without any noticeable symptoms, so the only way to get a diagnosis is through regular eye exams.
This eye disease is notorious. It slowly, silently and permanently damages vision. If eye pressure becomes too high, it causes cumulative damage to the optic nerve. If untreated, the damage eventually produces a progressive tunnel vision effect eventually resulting in blindness.
Luckily, glaucoma can be treated once it’s been diagnosed. But the damage it causes can’t be undone and the vision it destroys can’t be brought back.
We test for glaucoma at every eye exam; giving you the best chance of early diagnosis and preserving your vision.
