Experience-Driven Exams for Vision & Wellness
Your eyes do more than help you see—they reflect your overall health. Whether you’re navigating age-related changes, managing diabetes, or simply staying on top of your wellness, regular eye exams are essential.
Many sight-limiting eye diseases, like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, can cause slow but permanent damage without any apparent symptoms. Regular eye exams allow us to detect any minor changes to your vision and catch early signs of disease.
At See & Be Seen Eyecare, we deliver more than just a prescription check. With modern diagnostics, personalized care, and a boutique experience, we make each visit feel effortless and informative.
Protect your vision—book your eye exam today at our Liberty Village or Midtown location.
The Right Time for an Eye Exam
Everyone, regardless of age, should receive a comprehensive eye exam at least once every 2 years. This keeps your prescription current and allows optometrists to monitor changes in your ocular health.
If you are over 65, the Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends a complete eye exam every year. The same goes for patients who have experienced any eye disease in their past.
Whether you’ve been getting them regularly or it’s been a while, come visit us for comprehensive Toronto eye exams.
Why Eye Exams Matter—At Every Age
Vision changes can happen slowly and without noticeable symptoms. That’s why routine eye exams are essential. Not only can we update your prescription, but we can also detect early warning signs of conditions like:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Dry eye disease
If you’re over 65 or living with diabetes, yearly eye exams are especially important for ongoing care and prevention.
How an Eye Health Exam Works
We don’t believe in the cookie-cutter approach. Every step of our exam process includes personalized, effective testing.
This gives us an accurate measurement of your prescription and allows us to provide specific recommendations based on your distinct visual needs. We also closely examine your ocular health.
Regular vision testing and evaluations help give you the clearest vision possible. Our optometrists will measure how well each eye sees by using a wall chart and a reading chart. The results of these tests are represented by a fraction, with 20/20 being the norm.
Depending on the results of your vision test, Dr. Patel or Dr. Woods may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts lenses, or eye exercises.
Our optometrists will perform several tests to evaluate your depth perception, colour vision, eye muscle strength, peripheral vision, and eye muscle responsiveness. These simple tests help us make sure your eyes focus, move, and work together properly.
Once we have the results, we’ll be able to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing your eyes’ ability to focus or work together.
Now that we’ve tested your vision and eye function, it’s time to make sure your eyes are structurally healthy. Our team will inspect your eyes and eyelids using a special microscope, called a slit lamp and a bright light. We may also dilate your pupils to give us a better view of your eye’s interior.
We use a process called tonometry to measure eye pressure and hopefully rule out glaucoma. After completing all of these tests, your optometrist will review the results and go over any questions or concerns you might have.
Supporting Patients with Diabetes
Diabetes can impact more than your blood sugar—it can also affect the health of your eyes. That’s why we offer specialized diabetic eye exams using digital retinal imaging and modern diagnostics to catch early signs of diabetic eye disease.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by the effects of high blood sugar on the blood vessels in the retina. At the start, diabetic retinopathy might show few or no symptoms. However, if these blood vessels begin to leak into the retina, blurred vision or even blindness can occur.
Diabetic Macular Edema
Diabetic macular edema can be caused if diabetic retinopathy is left untreated. With diabetic macular edema, the fluid from the blood vessels can also start to leak into the macula (the central part of the retina), which allows you to read and recognize facial features.
Without treatment, diabetic macular edema can lead to blindness.
