Adult & Senior Eye Exams in St. Albert

As a general rule, we recommend that everyone schedule an eye exam at least once a year.

Your eye health needs will most likely change as you get older, so your optometrist may recommend more frequent eye exams once you reach a certain age.

Many patients think that eye exams just determine whether you need glasses or whether your prescription has changed.

True, that’s one part of the eye exam process, but there is more to it than that.

The eye is susceptible to a range of diseases. Many of these diseases develop without any obvious symptoms.

By the time patients notice changes to their vision, their eyes have usually suffered permanent and irreversible damage.

Annual eye exams allow us to track subtle eye changes.

By recording changes as they happen, we have a better chance of detecting and treating diseases in their early stages—before they cause permanent vision loss.

Scheduling an eye exam every year is a small step in ensuring your eyes stay healthy and strong.

Alberta Health Care only covers annual eye exams for adults aged 65 and over.

If you have employer health benefits or another type of health insurance, your coverage may include eye exams or a health spending budget that can be applied to eye exams.
