Our Eye Exams: 25+ Advanced Tests & Digital Scans

The human eye consists of more than 2 million parts. Accordingly, it requires numerous tests to evaluate their function, coordinated behaviour, and overall health. Moreover, much like x-rays allow dentists to see below the surface of a tooth, modern advanced optometric diagnostic technologies such as wide-angle digital retinal photography, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Humphrey vision field analysis, and corneal topography allow our optometrists to see more of your eyes so that you may never see less. Investing in the latest diagnostic technologies, performing advanced digital scans, and devoting more time to provide personalized care enables our optometrists to diagnose and treat eye diseases, like glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, before they cause significant irreversible vision loss.

Eye Examination • Nov, 2025

I had a comprehensive eye exam at Eye-deology Vision Care in Edmonton with Dr. Jennifer Ash, and it was the most thorough exam I've ever experienced...

She took the time to explain every test and made sure I understood my prescription and overall eye health. The clinic is modern, professional, and welcoming. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and caring optometrist in Edmonton for a detailed eye exam, I highly recommend Dr. Ash and the entire team.

Eye Exam • Jan, 2026

★★★★★

After years of routine eye exams elsewhere, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. McLachlin at Eye-deology Vision Care for a full eye exam in Edmonton, and I'm so grateful I did...

She identified early signs of macular degeneration that had not been detected during previous exams at other clinics. Because of her thorough evaluation and attention to detail, I was able to begin monitoring and treatment early. If you want an experienced Edmonton optometrist who truly prioritizes eye health, this is the clinic to visit.

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are necessary regardless of your age or your physical health. Children and seniors should see an optometrist (i.e., eye doctor) annually, while healthy adults should have their eyes examined at least once every two years. Eye exams are necessary for assessing eye coordination and muscle balance, evaluating visual acuity, and, most importantly, for determining overall ocular health.

A comprehensive eye exam is different than a sight/vision test. Only licensed optometrists and ophthalmologists can perform comprehensive eye exams and diagnose/treat eye diseases. eye-deology Vision Care optometrists have the expertise and modern technologies that will best serve your eye care needs and vision.

Eye Exam vs. Sight Test

Some optical stores offer sight (or vision) tests, which rely solely on automated equipment. A sight test is NOT a proper comprehensive eye exam. Only a trained and licensed professional doctor of optometry or ophthalmology can perform a comprehensive eye exam. Optometrists and ophthalmologists have the education, training, and knowledge to examine, diagnose, treat, manage, and help prevent diseases and disorders affecting the visual system, the eye and related structures, check an individual's prescription, and prescribe eyewear.

Why Regular Eye Exams Are Important

Regular eye health exams play an important role in general health maintenance for adults and children, alike. More specifically, regular eye exams are important to:

  • Diagnose & Treat Eye Diseases / Disorders: Optometrists check for signs of eye disease, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, or ocular conditions that can affect your vision.
  • Diagnose Systemic Diseases / Health Conditions: Eye exams can help diagnose diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and help facilitate medical treatment.
  • Maintain Clear Vision: Eye exams ensure that your vision is always at its best and that you can see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances.
  • Ensure Academic, Career & Life Success: 80% of learning is visual. Regular eye exams are the only way to be certain that both children and adults have the visual acuity needed to succeed.
  • Mitigate Myopia: More children are developing nearsightedness. Myopia put individuals at greater risk of develop vision-threatening conditions (e.g., retinal detachments, glaucoma, etc.) later in life
  • Reducing Strain & Stress: Clear vision reduces eye strain and the stress related to eye strain. This means fewer headaches, stiff necks, sore shoulders, and less overall physical stress.

General Edmonton Eye Exam Questions

In addition to an annual eye health exam, individuals should see an optometrist when they: 1) Experience changes in vision; 2) Learning becomes challenging; 3) Have diabetes; 4) Are pregnant & experiencing changes in vision; 5) Experiencing eye pain; or 6) Experience an eye emergency (e.g. vision loss or foreign body in the eye).

Individuals should see an optometrist for their annual eye exam. Optometrists are font-line eye health care providers who provide eye exams and diagnose and treat eye disease and disorders. Optometrists refer individuals with severe eye health conditions (e.g., macular degeneration) and/or surgical needs (e.g., detached retina) to ophthalmologists for care.

For Albertans between of the ages of 0-18 (i.e., children) and 65+ (i.e., seniors), Alberta Health Services covers the cost of one comprehensive eye exam per year along with all medically necessary examinations (e.g., infections, foreign body removal, sudden vision changes, etc.). For Albertans between the ages of 19-64 (i.e., Adults), only medically necessary optometric exams are covered by Alberta Health Services. Adult comprehensive eye exams typically range between $90-160, depending on the number and type of tests/digital scans performed, the advanced technologies (e.g., retinal photography and Optical Coherence Tomography) used to assess patient ocular health, examination length, and overall thoroughness. Several additional tests and scans are required for contact lens wearers and for those that have had corrective eye surgery; therefore additional fees apply.

Depending on the clinic, the number and type of tests/scans performed, the advanced technologies used to assess patient eye health, and thoroughness of the optometrist, an eye exam (including all pre-testing) can take between 10-60 minutes to perform.

Given that individuals only have two eyes, that eye diseases do not produce symptoms until their advanced stages, the importance vision is to quality life, livelihood, and lifestyle, and that once vision is lost it cannot be returned, it is recommended that individuals get an optometrist-performed eye exam annually.

Annual eye exams are especially important for children and seniors, and for those individuals with systemic conditions, such as diabetes.
