FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFEExpert Eye Care For Every Age
Your eyes change as you do. What your exam needs to check at 8 years old isn't what it needs to check at 45 or 70. We build your care around your age and risk factors, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Adults 65 and older
Every year
Adults 19 to 64 years old
Every two years unless otherwise advised by your optometrist.
If you have a medical condition such as diabetes, we recommend coming in every year.
Children 18 and under
First comprehensive eye exam by 6–12 months.
Again between age 2–3 and before starting school at age 4–5.
Every 1 year after that, or as recommended based on risk factors or symptoms.
WHY IT MATTERSUsing advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect eye diseases early, including glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Regular eye exams also reveal systemic health issues, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and sometimes signs of an impending stroke, that can first appear in the eyes. Early detection through routine screening can prevent vision loss and support overall health.

Together, they lead a clinic built on unrushed exams and honest recommendations.
CHILDREN'S EYE EXAMS IN NORTH VANCOUVERLearning is about 80% visual
Children rely so heavily on sight that regular comprehensive eye exams are essential to support their development and keep vision in top form.
Vision screenings at school or the pediatrician's office are helpful for catching obvious issues, but they aren't a substitute for a full eye exam. Even skilled screeners can miss up to one-third of children with an eye or vision disorder.

• Eye tracking • Convergence • Color vision • Ocular health
Axial Length Measurement For Myopia Management
We use the Topcon MYAH, a dedicated axial length measurement device, for every child's exam starting at age 5. Axial length tracks whether your child's eye is growing longer than it should, the earliest and most reliable sign of myopia progression, so we can start myopia management sooner. Want to know more?
