Routine eye exams are important, regardless of your age or physical health. During a comprehensive eye exam, the health of your eyes is our priority. The eye doctor will check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health. We employ the latest technology for detecting early signs of disease and it’s important to get your eyes checked regularly.

The eye doctor will also determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses and make specific lens design recommendations specific to your visual demands and lifestyle.
In most cases, a routine eye examination is not covered by Manitoba Health
Our eye doctor recommends a full eye exam every 2 years for healthy adults. Annual exams are recommended for those with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders, because many diseases can have an impact on vision and eye health.
