Your eyesight is precious and as you age, it is important to preserve that special sense that has given you so much pleasure over the years. Your optometrist can help you manage your eye health with our personalized vision care for seniors.

Early detection is essential to successfully treat and prevent eye conditions such as cataracts , macular degeneration and glaucoma before they cause major visual changes. Very often, serious eye diseases can develop without obvious symptoms, making ongoing vision health management a key factor in everyone’s overall health plan.

A comprehensive eye exam by your optometrist is the first step to caring for your eyes. OHIP provides coverage for comprehensive eye exams to Ontario residents aged 65 and older on a 12-18 month basis. Your optometrist may also recommend additional tests as part of your comprehensive eye exam, such as retinal imaging , visual field , and optical coherence tomography .
