Eye Exams

At Opto-Réseau, our professionals will ensure everyone in your family benefits from optimal vision. Thanks to cuttin-edge equipment, our optometrists and staff will provide you with high-quality, personnalized care and follow-ups.


WHAT DOES AN EYECARE PROFESSIONAL DO DURING AN EYE EXAM

Assess your vision

An eye exam allows your optometrist to accurately determine what kind of corrective lenses are required to improve your vision. They’ll also be able to evaluate how your eyes work together and how they perceive three-dimensional objects. Moreover, our eyecare professionals will also be able to diagnose myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, or presbyopia.


Screen for eye disease

During your eye exam, your optometrist will be able to determine if you suffer from glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or other conditions that may impair your vision. Your eyecare professional will then be able to recommend the right solutions and treatments.



Recommend products adapted to your needs

If your optometrist determines you need prescriptive lenses, our opticians will help you choose a pair of glasses or contact lenses that provide you with sharp, comfortable vision. They’ll also make sure your frames fit properly. In other words, they’ll make sure you are fully satisfied with your purchase.
