Eye Care Professionals
Your Independent Doctor of Optometry,* as well as the technicians and assistants who provide support, should make your eye exam experience easy and straightforward.
An optometrist is a province-licensed healthcare professional who examines, diagnoses, treats, and manages diseases and disorders of the visual system. Ask your Independent Doctor of Optometry* to explain the process throughout your experience, and answer any questions you might have.
If you have other eye problems, the optometrist also might treat (or refer you for further treatment for) eye infections, red eyes, or dry eyes.
