Comprehensive Eye Exams

Adults with healthy eyes should come in every two years, or sooner if their vision changes. We recommend yearly exams if you're over 65, wear contact lenses, or have diabetes, glaucoma or a family history of eye disease. Some eye diseases have no symptoms until the later stages, so regular exams matter even when you see well.

About 40 minutes, including imaging.

For most adults aged 20 to 64, no. Routine eye exams are paid privately or through your workplace benefits. OHIP covers an eye exam for:

• Children and youth 19 and under: one exam every 12 months
• Seniors 65 and older: one exam every 18 months, or every 12 months if you have an eligible eye condition
• Adults with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts or retinal disease

OHIP doesn't cover advanced imaging such as Optomap or OCT. We include this imaging because it gives a much more complete picture of your eye health.

No. OHIP doesn't cover glasses, contact lenses or contact lens fittings. Many workplace benefit plans do, and we can direct bill most major insurance providers.
