Take Control of Your Eye Health with Regular Exams
Taking care of your eyes is an important part of maintaining your overall health. Just like eating a balanced diet or having a regular checkup with your general practitioner, eye care should be a part of your routine.
We do more than just check your vision—we examine the health of your blood vessels, veins, and nerves, which can reveal important insights about your overall well-being.
At Dr. Bishop & Associates, our team offers comprehensive eye exams for adults and seniors at 4 convenient Calgary locations. Using new technology, we provide thorough assessments and screenings for serious eye conditions.
Protecting your vision and your health begins with regular eye exams. Contact us to schedule your next eye exam today.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
We tailor our eye tests to meet your specific needs, whether you’re here for a basic exam or a comprehensive evaluation. For a complete picture of your eye health, we may use a combination of the following tests:
- Refraction
- Visual acuity
- Colour vision
- Eye alignment
- Slit lamp exam
- Dilated fundus examination (DFE)
- Contact lens assessments
- Retinal imaging
- Visual field testing
- Stereopsis (3D depth perception)
- Ocular motility (eye position and muscle movement)
Our Eye Exam Technology
At Dr. Bishop & Associates, our team is committed to providing you with quality eye care, and that starts with our service and the technology we provide. During your eye exam, we’ll use different eye care technology that helps us detect and manage a wide range of eye health concerns.
From assessing your vision to examining the health of your retina, we can deliver accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. Each test is designed to be comfortable, efficient, and thorough, allowing us to provide a high standard of care for your eyes.
Here’s a closer look at the technology highlights you’ll encounter during your exam.
The visual field test is a type of technology we use to detect vision loss.
We sit you down in front of a screen and have you stare at a light in the centre. Once the test starts, small lights begin flashing across various areas of the screen. Every time you see a light flash, you’ll let us know, and we can track any areas where your vision is reduced or missing.
The Myopia Expert Dr. Bishop & Associates provides quick, accurate measurements crucial for managing myopia. This advanced technology assesses key factors such as axial length, corneal topography, k-readings, white-to-white measurement, and pupillometry.
With these detailed insights, the practice can create tailored treatment plans to effectively manage myopia progression and ensure optimal eye health for patients.
The days of twisting dials in front of your face are over. All of our examination lanes feature electronic phoropters, which provide greater speed and accuracy in refraction.
Electronic phoropters are controlled by a small computer on the exam room desk, so the optometrist doesn’t have to get in the way of your vision to adjust your prescription.
Autofluorescence Imaging (FAF) uses naturally occurring fluorescence from the retina as an indicator of RPE (retinal layer) health. This imaging allows your optometrist to identify signs and patterns that are linked to certain conditions or diseases. Through autofluorescence imaging, your optometrist can provide you with effective therapeutic treatments.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging test that uses light ways to take cross-sectional images of your retina. This allows your optometrist to see the layers of your retina as well as map and measure their thickness.
OCT helps identify and diagnose ocular conditions and diseases, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.
Paperless systems allow for faster data entry, storage, and retrieval. The improved accuracy with paperless systems helps eliminate the chance of human error in recording and transferring information.
This system is also environmentally friendly; it reduces paper waste and helps reduce the practice’s carbon footprint.
We also consider patient privacy and security. Paperless technology is more secure than paper-based records because they can be encrypted. This ensures that our team is compliant with privacy regulations.
Is It Time for Your Next Eye Exam?
It’s generally recommended that adults aged 19–64 schedule a comprehensive eye exam every year. For those 65 and older, annual eye exams are advised.
However, if you notice any changes in your vision, have been diagnosed with an eye or health condition, or simply have concerns about your eye health, don’t wait—book an appointment with us right away.
We’re here to care for you and your family’s eye health at every stage of life. If you ever have questions or worries, even if you’re not sure you need an exam, feel free to reach out to our team. We’re always happy to help.
Some visual and eye health changes are so slight that you may not even notice them. Getting your eyes checked yearly helps you stay proactive and deal with any potential issues before they have a significant impact on your vision.
Adults over the age of 60 are at a higher risk of developing vision-threatening eye conditions. Many people assume that as long as their vision feels fine with glasses or contacts, there’s no need for an eye exam.
However, just like regular dental check-ups are important even when your teeth aren’t bothering you, eye exams are crucial for maintaining overall eye health. Seniors should have their eyes examined annually to detect any early signs of disease and ensure long-term ocular well-being.

1 in 7 Canadians have vision-threatening eye conditions, but 75% of vision loss is preventable or treatable with early intervention. Check in with your optometrist regularly to keep a closer eye on your ocular health.
