How to prepare for your eye exam
When scheduling an eye examination you can choose to call our front desk at 604-593-5534 OR schedule online.
Please bring the following items with you:
- A list of your current medications
- Care card
- Private insurance number, if applicable (in many cases we can direct bill your insurance to reduce or eliminate out of pocket expenses for eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses)
- Your contact lenses if you wear contact lenses and require a new contact lens prescription
What to expect at your eye exam
Our staff will review your medical history, current medications, and ocular history. A pre-test will then be conducted where several computerized instruments will be used to assess your eyes.
- Autorefraction
- Keratometry (corneal curvature)
- Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
- Ultrasound (corneal thickness)
- High Definition Retinal Photos
- Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
In the next stage of the exam, an optometrist will examine your eyes and review all pertinent information with you. This will include discussing any signs of eye disease such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts that have been detected during the exam. You will also be provided with an up to date eyeglass prescription.
