Your eye health is vital at every stage of life. At Health Today, we recognize the importance of a clear vision for your overall well-being. Our comprehensive senior eye exams are tailored to provide personalized care and safeguard your eye health as you age.
The Canadian Association of Optometrists advises that seniors aged 65 and beyond should have their eyes examined annually. Regular eye exams for seniors are critical for early detection and management of age-related eye conditions that may impact your vision and quality of life.
As you age, your eyes go through natural changes, and the risk of developing various eye conditions increases. Regular eye exams are essential for several reasons:
Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, often have no noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye exams can detect these conditions before they cause significant vision loss.
Changes in your vision may require adjustments to your eyeglass or contact lens prescription. Regular exams ensure that you have the correct prescription to maintain clear vision.
Eye exams can also provide insight into your overall health. Certain eye conditions can be indicators of underlying health issues like diabetes or hypertension.
Clear and comfortable vision enhances your daily life and activities. Regular eye exams help ensure that your vision remains optimal, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest.

Ensure proper screen brightness and contrast to reduce glare and eye strain.
