Eye Exams for All Ages in Surrey, BC 

Did you know that 1 in 3 people experience vision changes without realizing it? Our eyes work hard daily, yet many vision problems develop slowly and painlessly—going unnoticed until they affect your life. Newton Optometry Clinic offers full-scope eye exams for children, adults, seniors, and those with specialized vision needs.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Routine Eye Exams  

Your eyes are the window to your overall health. A comprehensive eye exam isn’t just about updating your prescription—it’s a critical health check-up that can detect early signs of eye diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other severe conditions.  

Our Surrey optometrists use advanced diagnostic technology to provide the whole family with precise, thorough, and personalized eye care. Whether you’re scheduling your child’s first eye exam, updating your glasses, or managing a complex vision condition, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.  

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?  

  • Children (6 months – 18 years): Every year for learning and development  

  • Adults (19-65): Every 1-2 years for vision updates and disease prevention  

  • Seniors (65+): Annually for age-related eye health management  

  • Diabetic Patients: Every 12 months for retina monitoring

Newton Optometry Clinic’s Eye Exams: What to Expect  

We believe in making eye care easy and stress-free. Your visit will include:  

  1. Medical and Lifestyle Review: Understanding your vision needs, daily habits, and family history.  
  2. Visual Acuity Test: Checking for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or other refractive errors.  
  3. Eye Health Screening: Examining the retina, optic nerve, and overall eye condition.  
  4. Glaucoma and Cataract Detection: Identifying early signs of common eye diseases.  
  5. Prescription Updates: Ensuring your glasses or contact lenses provide optimal clarity. 

Pediatric Eye Exams (Ages 6 Months & Up) 

80% of learning happens through vision—yet many children struggle with undiagnosed vision problems. Early exams help detect myopia (nearsightedness), lazy eye (amblyopia), and other common childhood concerns before they impact school performance. We offer:  

  • Child-friendly, stress-free exams  
  • Myopia control solutions (ortho-k, MiSight®, atropine therapy)  
  • Vision screenings for reading and learning success

Senior Eye Exams (65+) 

Our eyes undergo natural changes as we age, making regular eye exams more important than ever. Vision problems like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration often develop slowly and painlessly, meaning they can go unnoticed until they start affecting daily life. We take a proactive approach to senior eye care, using advanced diagnostic technology to detect and manage age-related eye conditions.  

Diabetic Eye Exams 

Diabetes is the number one cause of preventable blindness—but regular diabetic eye exams can help. We use state-of-the-art imaging to monitor diabetic retinopathy, swelling, and blood vessel damage before it affects vision. If you have diabetes, an annual eye exam is essential to maintaining long-term sight.  

 

Contact Lens Exams & Fittings 

Contact lenses require a specialized fitting to ensure comfort and accuracy. Our contact lens exams include:  

  • Custom fittings for daily, monthly, or extended-wear lenses  
  • Specialty lenses for astigmatism, dry eye, or keratoconus (scleral lenses, ortho-k, hybrid lenses)  
  • Trial lenses and follow-up care to ensure the best fit for your lifestyle
