Not all Retinas are created equal; similarly, not all lenses are created equal. The reason why you find such a big difference in lens prices is because there is such a big difference in lenses. At Sight N' Steps Ajax and Pickering locations, the only lenses we dispense for our patients are the ones made by either Essilor or Nikon. Essilor is the world largest eyewear lens manufacturer and Nikon we all know from the camera lenses that they are one of the top brand of lenses. Even then within the Essilor or Nikon catalogues, the only lenses we dispenses for our patients are the ones that have been extensively researched and been proven successful.

The result of all this effort on our part is improved vision for Sight N' Steps patients, less fatigue, no more eye strain, and none or significantly reduced blurry spots on your peripheral vision. 

Optometrists and ophthalmologists use a wide variety of tests and procedures to examine your eyes. These tests range from simple ones, like having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to visualize the tiny structures inside of your eyes.

A comprehensive eye exam can take an hour or more, depending on the doctor and the number and complexity of tests required to fully evaluate your vision and the health of your eyes.

Here are eye and vision tests that you are likely to encounter during a comprehensive eye exam:

Visual Acuity Tests

Among the first tests performed in a comprehensive eye exam are visual acuity tests that measure the sharpness of your vision. 

Halloween is a popular time for people to use colored contact lenses to enhance their costumes. From blood-drenched vampire eyes to glow-in-the-dark lizard lenses, costume contacts can certainly add a spooky, eye-popping touch. But colored contact lenses are popular year-round, not just at Halloween.

But few know the risks associated with these lenses. "Most people believe that decorative lenses do not require the same level of care or consideration as a standard contact lens because they can be purchased over-the-counter or on the Internet," says Dr. Samina Khan Lead Optometrist at Sight N' Steps Optometrists Pickering Town Centre. "This is far from the truth."
