How often to get eye exam? Mississauga Guide

Routine eye exams are essential for keeping your vision sharp and your eyes healthy. For most adults in Mississauga, it’s recommended to have an eye exam every two years if you don’t have any vision problems or risk factors. However, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease, you should book an eye exam every year.

Children should have their first comprehensive exam around age three, followed by another before starting school, and then every one to two years as they grow. Seniors over 65 are also encouraged to schedule annual exams, as age-related eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration can develop silently.

At Vision Clarity Optometry and Optical, we combine over 30 years of expertise with cutting-edge diagnostic technology such as OCT imaging and visual field testing to catch eye problems early and keep your vision clear.

Whether you need a routine checkup, help managing an existing condition, or stylish new eyewear with premium Essilor and Zeiss lenses, our clinic makes advanced care accessible and comfortable. Book your next eye exam with Vision Clarity today and see the difference expert care can make.

Signs It’s Time to Book Your Next Eye Exam

Common Warning Signs

  • Blurry or fluctuating vision — especially when reading, driving at night, or using digital devices.

  • Frequent headaches — often caused by eyestrain or uncorrected vision changes.

  • Light sensitivity or halos — discomfort in bright light or seeing halos around headlights.

  • Double vision or sudden flashes — can indicate more serious eye issues.

Health-Related Triggers

  • Diabetes or high blood pressure: Even mild vision changes should be checked promptly, as these conditions can affect the eyes early.

  • Eye injuries or infections: Any trauma, redness, or persistent irritation requires immediate attention.

  • Long time since last exam: If it’s been more than 1–2 years, you may be overdue even without symptoms.

Tip: Don’t wait until vision problems become severe. Many conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration develop silently.
