There's more to an eye exam than choosing between lens 1 and lens 2. At your eye exam your overall eye health is assessed thoroughly. This involves looking at how well you see with and without corrective lenses, your binocular vision status, your eye pressure, all the structures of your eyeballs from front to back, making sure your pupils are reacting normally, assessing the structures of your eye lids and linking all the findings with your overall systemic health. After all this rest assured that you will also get your prescription!
Did you know that in Nova Scotia you can see an optometrist for emergency eye care? Optometrists are well equipped to deal with things like eye infections, red painful eyes, foreign body removals or sudden vision changed. This means that you don't have to wait in outpatients or a walk-in clinic. As long as you have a valid Nova Scotia health card you can be seen by an optometrist in Nova Scotia up to six times per year for emergency eye care visits. Optometrists can even write prescriptions for medicated eye drops as well as oral medication like antibiotics if needed.

Dr. Muise has been practicing optometry in Nova Scotia since 2015. Nova Scotia has always been home for Dr. Muise, she grew up in Yarmouth and is of Acadian and Metis descent. She is an alumna of Mount Allison University, where she graduated on the Dean's List with a Bachelor of Science in 2011. She then went on to complete her Doctor of Optometry Degree at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science in 2015, again graduating on the Dean's List.
Dr. Muise can provide eye care in three languages; English, French and Spanish. This has not only been an asset for patient care locally, but also in her humanitarian work. Dr. Muise has been on two humanitarian eye care missions to date, first in the Western Sahara in 2013 and then in Central America in 2018. Although the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to travel, she looks forward to many more eye care missions in the future.
When she's not in the office, you can find Dr. Muise at the beach or in the kitchen baking!
Please contact us if you cannot find the answer to your question.
The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends children have their first eye exam between six to nine months, again between ages three and four and every year while in school.
Absolutely!
It depends. If you have a strong prescription (e.g. over -6.00), are over 65, have diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration or another eye diseases then it's very likely. If you fit into one of these categories than it's always best to bring sunglasses and arrange transportation from your eye exam to avoid driving with dilated pupils.
Generally three to six hours but it can vary from person to person.
No.
