Driver's License Assessment

Before you start learning to drive, it is very important to have an eye exam to check if you require visual correction. Good vision is important for safe driving. At the age of 80 years old, a driver’s license must be renewed every 2 years in Ontario. At Empire Eyewear we can perform extra testing to ensure safe and adequate driving standards are met for obtaining and renewing your license.

Children’s Eye Exams

During a child’s eye exam, special attention is given to how the eye and brain coordination are functioning together. Lazy eye, eye turns, or other visual problems are signs that a child’s vision is being compromised. Since 80% of learning happens through eyesight, it is important to bring them for eye checkup as early as 6 months of age and yearly after that.

Plaquenil Eye Exams

Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) is a medication used to treat many autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. In high doses or when taken for a long time, this medication can cause damage to the back of the eye, known as retinal toxicity, causing visual disturbances. Patients taking this medication should have an eye exam with visual fields screening done annually.

This test is also performed before you can obtain/renew your driver’s license. Here at Empire Eyewear, we offer visual fields testing to all our patients.
