Our comprehensive eye evaluation begins with a discussion of your symptoms of disease, if any, and a medical history review. Then, specialized tests for glaucoma, color vision, peripheral vision, visual acuity at both near and far, eye coordination, and neurological pupil disease are performed. The external eye and cornea are examined for abnormalities. The internal lens of your eye will be examined for cataracts and your retina for macular degeneration and diabetes.

The eye treatment prescribed may vary from observation to the prescription of glasses, contact lenses or other vision correction procedures. In some cases, it may be necessary for the doctor to recommend laser, glaucoma, eyelid, corneal or cataract surgery. Should this happen, you may be assured that all options will be discussed with you.

Where do you go when you are having difficulty with your eye sight? Depending on the extent of the eye problems, your answer may vary. There are several different types of eye doctors and eye specialists you could see, including an ophthalmologist, optometrist, and optician.

Before you go in for your examination make a list of the following:

Signs or symptoms for your eye problems you have noticed (flashes of light, difficulty seeing at night, temporary double vision, loss of vision, etc.)

• Prescription and over-the-counter drugs you are taking.
• Eye injuries or eye surgery you had (approximate dates, hospitals where treated, etc.)
• Questions you have about your eye sight.
• Family history of your eye problems (glaucoma, cataracts, etc.)

Save Your Eye Sight: Some Simple Steps to Help Prevent Vision Loss:

• Knowledge is power in the fight against vision loss. Here are some simple things you can do to help protect your eye sight.
• Have your eyes examined regularly at eye care center by an eye-care professional, and don't ignore changes in your vision. Serious eye conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can be present in your eye sight without any symptoms of eye disease. Other conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, can progress rapidly if left untreated. Early detection is important to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
• You may have a higher risk of developing vision loss if you have a family history of eye disease, light-colored eyes and skin, are diabetic, overweight, over age 50 or a smoker.
• Eye care coverage varies by province. In general, having your eyes examined every two years is a good guideline. Consult your eye care professional to determine what is best for you, depending on your age, family history, existing eye conditions and risk factors.

Quit for your eyes:

• People who smoke are nearly seven times more likely to develop AMD, which is the number one cause of significant vision loss in people over 50 in Canada. Quitting now can reduce the risk.
• Get healthy your eye sight.
• Vegetables and fruits are good for your eye sight. Choose dark leafy greens like spinach or romaine lettuce, lots of bright-colored citrus fruits, and foods rich in vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and zinc. Keep active: excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle and high blood pressure are all risk factors for AMD and diabetic retinopathy.
• Protect your eyes from sun light and dust.
• Exposure the eyes to sun light is associated with a higher risk of developing AMD and cataracts. Wear a hat with a brim, and choose sunglasses that provide at least 98 percent protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays: check the vendor tag for the UV rating before you buy.
• Wear glasses for your eye protection.
• When you playing sports or working with power tools, protect your eyes with safety glasses or goggles. You don't need a prescription for them, and most hardware and sporting-goods stores carry a good selection of safety glasses.
