Eye Exams

Thorough Eye Exams in Oshawa You Can Trust

Your eyes deserve proactive care at every stage of life. Whether you're booking your first visit or keeping up with routine care, our comprehensive eye exams help protect your vision, catch issues early, and support your overall health.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect During Your Exam

We keep things clear and comfortable, every step of the way. Here’s what your visit might include:

1. Health & Vision History

We’ll talk through your current vision, medical background, and any concerns you have.

2. Vision Testing (Refraction)

You’ll look through a few lenses while we determine your precise prescription and visual clarity. This helps us find the correction that works best for your everyday life.

3. Eye Health Evaluation

We examine your retina, measure eye pressure, and check for early signs of common eye conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic changes, or macular degeneration, even if you feel fine.

4. Personalized Recommendations

Whether you need glasses, contacts, a follow-up plan, or just reassurance... we guide you with honesty, clarity, and no pressure. All questions are welcome.

Adult Eye Exam

Our adult eye exams go beyond checking your prescription — they’re a window into your overall health. During your visit, Dr. Jane Yang will assess your visual acuity, eye coordination, eye pressure, and screen for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

Recommended every 1–2 years, even if your vision seems fine. Many eye conditions show no early symptoms — until it’s too late.


What's included:

Prescription check & vision sharpness - Eye muscle and tracking assessment - Intraocular pressure (glaucoma screening) - Retina and optic nerve health - Lifestyle and screen-use consultation

Pediatric Eye Exam | Big care for little eyes.

Children’s eyes develop rapidly, and so do their vision needs. Our pediatric eye exams are gentle, fun, and tailored to kids of all ages. We assess vision development, eye teaming, depth perception, and screen for issues that could impact school performance or confidence.

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends a child’s first exam at 6 months, again at 2–3 years, and annually after school starts.

What We Check:

  • Vision sharpness and eye alignment
  • Tracking, depth perception, and focusing
  • Colour vision and hand-eye coordination
  • Early signs of lazy eye or crossed eyes
  • Screen and learning habits

Protecting Your Vision When You Have Diabetes

If you live with diabetes, regular eye exams are essential. High blood sugar can silently damage the blood vessels in your eyes, leading to diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or vision loss.


At Red House, we provide diabetic eye exams with medical-grade imaging to detect early changes and protect your vision long-term.

Early detection is everything.

Our diabetic eye exams include a thorough evaluation of your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels — even before symptoms appear.

Modern imaging. Clear answers.

With retinal imaging and OCT technology, we monitor even the smallest changes in your eyes, so you and your healthcare team can act early and stay in control.

Eye Pressure Test

Essential for detecting glaucoma, more common in people with diabetes.

Dilated Eye Exam

A closer look at the back of the eye to spot early signs of retinopathy.

Retinal Imaging

High-resolution images of the retina to monitor subtle diabetic changes.

We provide detailed reports to your family doctor or endocrinologist as needed.
