Altitude Optometry, your optometry clinic in Gatineau, offers comprehensive eye exams for the whole family: adults, children, and seniors. Much more than a simple vision test, each exam is performed by a qualified optometrist who cares about the overall health of your eyes. You will be welcomed in a professional and friendly environment by a team that is attentive to your needs.

Why should you have a comprehensive eye exam regularly?

• Screen for common vision problems (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia) in order to provide you with a prescription for glasses or contact lenses that are perfectly suited to your vision.
  

• Identify eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or diabetic retinopathy early on. Early screening increases the chances of treating these conditions before they seriously affect your vision.
  

• A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of general health problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, which sometimes manifest themselves in the eyes.

Cutting-edge technologies for a comprehensive examination

To ensure an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis, our optometry clinic in Gatineau is equipped with state-of-the-art tools. For example:

• OCT (optical coherence tomography): This 3D imaging of the retina can detect diseases such as glaucoma or AMD long before the first symptoms appear.
  

• Photographs of the back of the eye are used to observe and monitor the health of your eyes over time.
  

• Computerized visual field test to detect possible peripheral vision loss (e.g., in cases of glaucoma).
  

Thanks to these advanced technologies, every eye exam at Altitude Optometry is thorough and personalized. We can detect even the most subtle problems and offer you recommendations tailored to your eyes.
