Routine eye exams are an important part of preventative medicine, regardless of you age, health or comfort with your current vision. During a comprehensive eye exam, your optometrist will not only determine your specific prescription for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses, but will also assess your eyes for common eye diseases, the function and accuracy of your eye muscles, and screen for ocular indicators of your overall health.

​

As we value complete and thorough vision care, as well as the importance of  patient education, please allow for up to an hour for your full exam.

We offer emergency services for immediate and urgent eye care needs.  If you are experiencing an infection, injury, or symptoms including, but not limited to, flashes of light, sudden onset of floaters, sudden blur or loss of vision, sudden haloes please call our office at (778) 587-3937.

Please note if you are experiencing an eye emergency outside of our office hours, please contact your local emergency room or walk-in clinic, depending on the severity of your emergency.

For that reason, routine examinations are recommended for early detection and prevention.
