A sight test is more than just measuring how well you see or to identify if you need glasses or contact lenses. Within the eye test the Optometrist will check the health of your eyes. It is even possible to detect some general health conditions during an eye test such as high blood pressure or diabetes. So really a sight test should become part of everyone’s regular health regime.

Usually a routine sight test is recommended every two years. Some people have more frequent eye tests. The optical professional will advise you when to attend for your routine check up at the end of your eye examination. Our eye care clinic sends you a reminder letter when your sight test is due.

If you experience problems with your eyes or your eyeglasses or contact lenses before your routine check is due, you can make an earlier appointment. For quality eye care, contact New Wave Optical in Calgary, AB today!
