Why patients choose Ajax Eye Care

Thorough, not rushed

Every exam goes beyond the glasses prescription. We look at the health of the whole eye, inside and out.

The latest technology

Optomap ultra-widefield imaging and 3D OCT help us spot early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease, often before you notice any symptoms.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I have an eye exam?

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.

How long does an eye exam take?

About 40 minutes, including imaging.

Does OHIP cover eye exams?

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.

Does OHIP cover glasses or contact lenses?

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.

Do I need a referral?

No, you can book directly with us.

Do you see patients near Pickering and Whitby?

Yes! We're on Monarch Avenue in Ajax, a short drive from Pickering and Whitby, with evening and Saturday appointments.

Can I get my contact lens prescription updated?

Yes. A contact lens exam checks your vision and makes sure your lenses fit well and are healthy for your eyes.

What should I bring?

Your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of your medications, your health card, and your benefits information if you have coverage.

Can I be seen quickly for an urgent eye problem?

Yes. If you have a red or painful eye, sudden flashes or floaters, or an eye injury, call us at 905-686-1551 and we'll do our best to see you the same day.
