A diabetic eye exam in Mississauga typically costs around $90 CAD for patients not covered by OHIP. This specialized exam is essential for detecting early signs of diabetic retinopathy and other vision-threatening complications caused by diabetes.
During the exam, our optometrist, Dr. Alhamdan, will carefully examine your retina using advanced imaging technology to check for any damage from high blood sugar levels. Early detection can prevent vision loss and help manage your overall eye health effectively.
At Vision Clarity Optometry, we make it easy to stay on top of your diabetic eye care. Our experienced team uses the latest diagnostic tools to ensure accurate, comfortable, and thorough testing, because your sight deserves the best protection.

Why Diabetic Eye Exams Are Essential for Your Vision Health
Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar — it can have a serious impact on your eyes. One of the most common and preventable complications is diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina. Over time, this damage can lead to blurred vision, floaters, or even permanent vision loss if left untreated.
That’s why regular diabetic eye exams are so important. These comprehensive assessments allow your optometrist to monitor subtle changes in your retina long before symptoms appear. Early detection means timely treatment — which can prevent up to 95% of diabetes-related vision loss.
At Vision Clarity Optometry in Mississauga, our advanced retinal imaging technology helps detect early signs of diabetic eye disease with precision and comfort. Whether you’re newly diagnosed with diabetes or have been managing it for years, consistent eye care is key to preserving your sight.
Remember: even if your vision feels fine, diabetic eye disease can develop silently. We recommend at least one eye exam per year for anyone living with diabetes.

What to Expect During a Diabetic Eye Exam
A diabetic eye exam goes beyond a standard vision test. It’s a detailed look at how diabetes may be affecting your eyes — specifically your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. At Vision Clarity Optometry, our process is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and highly accurate.
Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Comprehensive health review: We begin by discussing your medical and diabetic history to understand any changes in your health or medications.
- Visual acuity testing: This checks how clearly you can see at different distances.
- Retinal imaging and dilation: Using advanced imaging technology, your optometrist will examine the back of your eye (retina) for early signs of damage like leaking blood vessels or swelling.
- OCT scan (if needed): Optical Coherence Tomography provides a 3D view of your retina to spot even the smallest changes invisible to the naked eye.
This non-invasive process takes about 30–45 minutes and provides invaluable insight into your eye health. If any issues are detected, your optometrist will explain your options clearly and help you manage your condition effectively.
At Vision Clarity, we believe education is part of prevention — and our goal is to empower every patient with knowledge and clarity about their vision.

OHIP Coverage and Insurance Options in Mississauga
If you’re managing diabetes in Ontario, you may be wondering: Is my diabetic eye exam covered by OHIP? The good news is — in most cases, yes.
OHIP provides annual coverage for diabetic eye exams for all Ontario residents diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. This means you won’t have to pay out of pocket for your routine diabetic eye check. Simply bring your health card to your appointment at Vision Clarity Optometry, and we’ll handle the rest.
For patients who do not have diabetes or whose coverage doesn’t apply, a comprehensive eye exam typically costs around $90 CAD in Mississauga. Many private insurance plans also reimburse this amount, so it’s worth checking with your provider to ensure you’re fully covered.
At Vision Clarity, our goal is to make essential diabetic eye care accessible and affordable. We’ll walk you through your coverage options, assist with insurance claims if needed, and make sure cost is never a barrier to your vision health.
No matter your situation, proactive eye care is an investment in your long-term well-being.
