What happens during your eye exam

Every comprehensive exam at Style Eyes follows the same thorough sequence — no rushed 15-minute vision check.

  1. 01

    History & lifestyle review

    We start with how you actually use your eyes — screen hours, driving, reading, sports — plus medical and family history that affects eye health.

  2. 02

    Vision & refraction testing

    Precise measurement of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia to build an accurate, comfortable prescription.

  3. 03

    Binocular vision & eye teaming

    We check how your eyes work together — a common source of headaches, eye strain, and reading difficulty, especially in children.

  4. 04

    Eye health assessment

    Intraocular pressure measurement and slit lamp examination to screen for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye changes. Optional digital retinal imaging is available.

  5. 05

    Results, plainly explained

    You leave knowing what we found, what it means, and what (if anything) to do next — with your prescription in hand.

Eye exam questions, answered

Are eye exams covered by OHIP in Burlington?

OHIP covers one comprehensive eye exam per year for Ontario residents under 20, and one exam every 18 months for residents 65 and older. Adults aged 20 to 64 are covered when they have a qualifying medical condition such as diabetes or glaucoma. We handle the OHIP paperwork for you.

How long does a comprehensive eye exam take?

Plan for about 30 to 45 minutes. That includes refraction to determine your prescription, binocular vision testing, intraocular pressure measurement, and an eye health assessment with time to review the results with you.

How often should I have my eyes examined?

Every year for children and adults 65 and older, and every one to two years for most adults in between. If you wear contact lenses, have diabetes, or have a family history of glaucoma, annual exams are recommended.

Do you offer retinal imaging?

Yes. We encourage digital retinal imaging for all patients as part of a thorough eye health assessment. It is not covered by OHIP or most insurance plans and is available for a small additional fee at your appointment.

Can I get glasses the same day as my exam?

You can choose frames the same day. Our boutique on Brant Street carries 15+ independent and designer brands, and Master Optician Farshad Nekoui fits and adjusts every pair in-house.
