Eye exam
An eye exam serves as a guide for evaluating your eyes' abilities and health. While paying special attention to changes in your eyes, it aims to improve your vision and ensure long-term protection. It is strongly recommended that you use an optometrist or ophthalmologist’s expertise for this exam.
At Centre Visuel D.R., we have transformed this routine exam into an experience that will appeal to the whole family, including the addition of a comfortable play area and a free Wi-Fi network, as well as a ramp for disabled people.
An exam booklet to be given to other health professionals can be provided to young people aged 17 and under.
