For children under 19 years, OHIP covers a comprehensive eye exam annually and any follow-up checkups that may be required. For adults between 20 to 64 years, it does not cover comprehensive assessments. Our optometrists can help ascertain whether you qualify, depending on your condition. When it comes to seniors over 65, OHIP includes an annual, comprehensive eye exam and follow-ups as required.

How often should you have
your eyes checked by a professional?

General eye checkups can help ensure your eyewear prescription is up to date, and your eyes are healthy. As per the Canadian Association of Optometrists, children and seniors should get their eyes checked every year. Adults should opt for comprehensive eye exams every two years.

Why is it essential to get
your eyes checked?

Most eye problems are silent and do not have any symptoms in the early stages. When you schedule an eye exam in Vaughan or Scarborough with us, our optometrists will look for the signs of common eye diseases in addition to determining your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
