Eye exams

Comprehensive eye exams, for the whole family

At Opti-W, your eye exam is performed by an optometrist licensed in Quebec or Ontario, with modern equipment, in a professional setting inside Walmart. A quick, pressure-free exam that goes far beyond reading a chart.

Visual acuity

Precise measurement of what you see far and near.

Refraction

Detection of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Eye health

Fundus check, screening for glaucoma, cataracts, AMD.

Kids & seniors

Exams adapted to every age. Covered by RAMQ for under-18s and 65+.

What happens during your exam

The exam takes 20 to 40 minutes. Your optometrist tests your vision with a phoropter, checks intraocular pressure, examines your retina, and discusses your habits (screens, reading, driving). You leave with an updated prescription and personalized recommendations.

Why a regular exam?

Many eye conditions develop without symptoms: glaucoma, ocular hypertension, macular degeneration. An exam every 1–2 years for healthy adults, and yearly for glasses-wearers, kids and seniors. Take the opportunity to update your glasses with our 2-for-$200 or 2-for-$300 promo.
