Guildford Eye Clinic · Eyeglass prescription · Surrey, BC
Need a new or updated glasses prescription? A comprehensive eye exam gives you a precise, current prescription and a full check of your eye health, with OCT included. Your prescription is yours to use wherever you like. Inside Specsavers Guildford Town Centre.
More than a number
A good eyeglass prescription comes from a careful measurement of how your eyes focus, called a refraction, combined with a full check of your eye health. We take the time to fine-tune the result so your glasses are comfortable and clear, not just close enough.
Every comprehensive exam also includes OCT retinal imaging at no extra charge, so while we update your prescription we are also checking for conditions that have nothing to do with your glasses.
Your prescription is yours
After your exam, your eyeglass prescription belongs to you. You are free to fill it wherever you choose, whether that is in the optical next door or somewhere else. We are happy to provide a copy.
If you also want to wear contacts, note that a glasses prescription is not the same as a contact lens prescription, which needs its own fitting.
When to update
Most adults benefit from an updated prescription every one to two years, and sooner if your vision changes, you get more headaches or eye strain, or your current glasses no longer feel right. Children often change faster as they grow.
If your prescription has expired or you are squinting at screens and signs, it is time for a fresh comprehensive eye exam.
Cost and coverage
A comprehensive adult eye exam is $99, with OCT imaging included. A full eye exam is covered yearly by MSP for children 18 and under and seniors 65 and over. We direct bill most insurance plans and explain any costs clearly first.
