Comprehensive Eye Exam
Your eyes deserve more than a quick check-up. At Urban Eyecare Optometrists, we believe comprehensive eye exams are about understanding your complete vision and eye health picture, not just updating your prescription.
Why regular eye exams matter
Many serious eye conditions develop without obvious symptoms. Regular comprehensive eye exams can detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and even systemic health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. Beyond disease detection, we’ll also ensure your vision supports your lifestyle.
Think of your eye exam as a complete health check for your vision. Some eye diseases can cause irreversible damage before you notice any symptoms, making regular exams your best defense against vision loss.
What to expect during your visit
Plan to spend about an hour with us for the examination component of your visit. The examination itself takes around 30 minutes, and your visit includes check-in, insurance processing, a thorough health history review, and instrument scans before you meet with your doctor. We want to understand not just your eyes, but how you use them in your daily life.
Our comprehensive exams include advanced testing that goes beyond basic vision screening. Every exam features autorefraction, intra-ocular pressure measurement, colour vision testing, depth perception assessment, and standard retinal imaging. We also include advanced dry eye testing using MYAH technology and peripheral vision assessment to give you the most complete picture of your eye health.
For patients seeking even more detailed insights, our advanced exams include OCT scanning and axial length measurement for myopia control, providing exceptional detail about your eye structures and helping us detect the earliest signs of change.
What sets us apart
Our patients tell us they appreciate the thorough, unhurried approach we take. You’ll spend quality time with your doctor. Our staff are friendly and approachable, making even complex eye health topics easy to understand. We provide detailed explanations about your eye health and personalized recommendations based on your unique needs.
We discuss your work environment, hobbies, and lifestyle to recommend lenses and eyewear that truly fit your life. Many patients note our exams feel more comprehensive than the experiences they’ve had elsewhere, and they value the friendly, welcoming atmosphere throughout their visit, from the moment you check in to your final frame selection.
