Our Prices

Basic Eye Exam

A basic eye exam costs $119.

Comprehensive Eye Exam

A comprehensive 200° Optomap eye exam is $157.
A comprehensive dilation eye exam costs $157.

What’s the Difference: Dilation or Optomap?

In most cases, the 200° Optomap eye exam is offered in place of dilation. Unlike a dilation eye exam, Optomap imaging does not have any side effects, such as:

  • Blurred vision
  • Light sensitivity
  • Stinging after eye drops
  • Difficulty focusing on close objects

Both exams allow your doctor to get a view of the back of the eye. Imaging technology provides details needed to diagnose your eye health. Without either Optomap imaging or dilation, many of those details would be invisible or too deep to detect.

Ocular pathology (eye disease) often starts small but can threaten vision and cause long-term health effects. Those small beginnings could otherwise be missed without either a dilated fundus examination or the noninvasive Optomap screening technology.

Dr. Bishop insists that his own family and friends have this exam done to ensure nothing is missed. Even minor problems can have significant outcomes if not correctly diagnosed and treated.

Contact Lens Exams

If you are a contact lens wearer or are interested in contact lenses, choose any one of the 3 exams:

  • Basic eye exam
  • Dilation eye exam
  • Optomap eye exam

Alberta Health Care Eye Exam

Alberta Health Care will cover your basic eye exam if you’re under 19 or over 65 years old. Additionally, Albertans are entitled to medically necessary optometry visits under Alberta Health Care.

Alberta Health Care also covers a routine Dilation Exam on a separate day, an exam that should be completed every 3 years before the age of 19 and every year after the age of 65. 

Completing retinal imaging at each eye exam is strongly recommended to detect changes in your ocular health. The details are crucial in diagnosing eye conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, or retinal problems

Retinal Imaging Prices

A retinal imaging photo that covers 45° is $15.

An Optomap 200° photo is $39.
