Routine annual check-ups are important to visual health

We recommend that all patients, regardless of age, have a complete annual oculo-visual assessment. In addition to prescription changes, an annual eye exam can provide early detection of eye disorders and diseases, from common to rare, as well as systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Most eye diseases, if detected early, can be treated to prevent / reduce vision loss. Routine eye exams allow a baseline to be created and should something present in the future, the baseline allows for our doctors to notice abnormalities more easily by providing a reference point by which to detect even a small “change”.

Annual eye exams for those under the age of 20 are covered by OHIP.

Visual Development & Early Detection: Children often don't notice or complain about visual issues. The visual system develops from birth to approximately age 6. Some children can be born with certain eye conditions that require early intervention in order for their vision to develop optimally. We recommend that children should have their first eye exam at 6-12 months and no later than age 3, and then annually thereafter. Children from families with a history of oculo-visual conditions (e.g. high prescriptions, lazy-eye/squint, eye disease) should be seen sooner. Vision and Learning: Vision is involved in over 80 percent of learning. Children who are having trouble seeing may perform poorly at school, may exhibit poor behavior or attention, or may exhibit a reading or learning disability.

Adults should have their eyes tested yearly to keep their prescriptions up-to-date and to check for early signs of eye diseases (and other systemic diseases). Presbyopia, the age-related loss of accommodation, starts between 38 to 45 years of age and affects almost everyone by age 50.

There are various retinal diseases and conditions of the eye which result in loss of vision. Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and the side effects of drugs can sometimes be discovered during your eye examination.

By approximately age 60 there is an increased risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye diseases. This is particularly true in those with family histories, certain nationalities/ethnic groups, and certain lifestyles/habits. Many eye diseases have no symptoms in their early stages and if detected early, intervention will help reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. OHIP covers the basic components of a comprehensive eye exam annually for Ontarians aged 65 and older. Our doctors recommend additional retinal assessments annually for all patients, especially those over the age of 60. This allows for earlier detection of retinal disease in this higher risk group.
