Dominion Optometry

Routine eye examinations are suggested for everyone regardless of how well they see. An eye examination involves testing of visual health as well as vision and function of your eyes. 

Regardless of age, health, or vision, a full examination is recommended annually or every other year.

Routine eye examinations for people 20 to 64 years old were no longer covered by OHIP. However, there is the OHIP coverage to ensure patients with medical conditions affecting the eye can continue to receive regular eye examinations. 

Thankfully children in Ontario are still covered annually for eye exams. It is suggested to have an eye examination at 6 months of age and then again at two year old followed up annually.
