Why Are Eye Exams Important?
Eye exams can help you see clearly and comfortably for years to come. Visiting your optometrist is key to managing your overall health.
Each time you visit us, it gives your eye doctors the opportunity to assess your vision, check for early signs of eye disease, and make recommendations to hopefully make your life a bit better and easier to see.
It’s generally recommended to get your eyes examined every 1-2 years, however your optometrist will recommend a schedule for you based on your unique eye health.
Your Eye Exam Process
When you enter our practice in Woodstock, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and welcoming staff. They’re there to answer any questions you have before your exam, whether it’s to do with the exam itself or any of our offered services and treatments.
Once you’re checked in, they’ll invite you to sit back and relax until we’re ready to begin your pre-testing.
Pre-Testing
To ensure your exam is tailored to your needs, we start by taking pre-testing measurements, performing in-depth scans, asking questions about your medical history and lifestyle, and noting any medications you may be taking. This information helps guide the rest of our exam process.
The Exam
After pre-testing, we’ll begin your eye exam. During your exam, we perform several tests, and readings using advanced technology to assess your vision and ocular health.
Follow-Up
After your exam is finished, we’ll discuss the results with you and create a customized treatment plan as necessary. We offer a wide range of corrective services and treatments including glasses, contacts, laser surgery co-management, myopia control, and much more!
Whether visiting us for an exam, eyewear, dry eye treatment, or anything to do with your ocular needs, we pride ourselves on creating a personalized experience for you.

Eye Exam FAQs
Does OHIP cover eye exams?
OHIP covers routine eye exams for patients aged 19 and under and for seniors aged 65 and over. Adults aged 20 to 64 are covered only if they have a qualifying medical condition, such as diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts or macular degeneration. Many private insurance plans also cover part of an eye exam. We offer direct billing with most insurance providers, so call us at 519.421.3303 and we can help you understand your coverage.
Are eye exams free for seniors in Ontario?
Seniors aged 65 and over are covered by OHIP for one routine eye exam every 12 months. Additional visits may be covered if your optometrist is monitoring a medical eye condition. Our team can confirm what applies to you when you book.
How much is an eye exam in Ontario?
The cost depends on the type of exam, your age and your coverage. Many patients pay little or nothing out of pocket thanks to OHIP or private insurance. For our current fees, call Oxford Optometry at 519.421.3303 and we’ll give you a clear answer before you book.
How often should you get an eye exam?
It’s generally recommended to have your eyes examined every 1 to 2 years. Seniors, people with diabetes and anyone with a family history of eye disease may need to be seen more often. Your optometrist will recommend a schedule based on your unique eye health.
How long does an eye exam take?
A comprehensive adult or senior eye exam usually takes about an hour, including pre-testing, the exam with your optometrist and a follow-up to review your results. Timing can vary depending on your needs, such as extra testing or a dilated exam.
What is included in a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive eye exam starts with pre-testing, followed by an exam where your optometrist assesses your vision, checks your eye health and looks for early signs of eye disease. Afterward, your optometrist reviews the results with you and makes recommendations. We also take the time to listen to your questions and concerns.
Why do eye doctors dilate your eyes?
Dilating drops widen your pupils so your optometrist can see the inside of your eye more clearly, including the retina and optic nerve. This helps detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration early. Your vision may be blurry and light-sensitive for a few hours afterward, so bring sunglasses. Not every exam needs dilation, and your optometrist will let you know if you do.
