Adult Eye Exams in North York & Toronto
Adults & Seniors Eye Exams at Empress Eye Clinic in North York, Toronto
Empress Eye Clinic in North York, Toronto, provides top-quality eye exams designed for adults and seniors. Our optometrists and eye care staff use cutting-edge technologies and the latest science to diagnose and treat many eye conditions.
Why Adult & Senior Eye Exams Are Important
As we age, our vision naturally changes, and the risk of eye diseases increases. Many conditions develop silently without symptoms, which is why regular checkups are essential. Our adult and senior eye exams screen for:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Dry eye disease
- Diabetic eye disease
- Other vision or prescription changes
Regular exams also help address lifestyle-related eye strain from digital devices, poor sleep, or environmental factors.
Please schedule an appointment today and let us help keep your vision healthy as you age.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
Your eye exam does more than check to see what lens prescription you have—although it does that too!
Eye exams at Empress are designed with your eye health in mind. We’re going to perform several noninvasive tests using state-of-the-art technology that will help us monitor your ocular health. This allows your optometrist to check for any changes over time and diagnose any issues as early as possible.
We’re also going to ask you about yourself. Knowing if you have health conditions, if you’re taking certain medications, or if you have a family history of eye disease will allow us to provide you with the best care possible.
You won’t ever feel rushed here at Empress Eye Clinic. We value the importance of taking our time and responding to all of your questions.
Your Exam Schedule
Adults (20–64): Comprehensive eye exam every 1–2 years
Seniors (65+): Annual eye exams (covered by OHIP in Ontario)
Additional visits: Recommended if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or family history of eye disease
Our eyes are affected by environmental and behavioural factors, such as extensive use of digital devices, exposure to air conditioning, and lack of proper sleep.
To maintain our high-quality eye care service, we recommend annual comprehensive eye exams for everyone.
During the annual eye exams, your optometrist assesses the health of your eyes and vision and recommends necessary steps to keep them healthy and maintain optimal performance. If you need follow-up exams, your optometrists will arrange them for you.

Testimonials
Wow, what a great experience! I was able to book a same-day appointment after calling multiple optometrists in the area with an eye emergency. Both Dr.Heshmati and Dr.Habib took their time with me – it didn’t feel rushed at all, and they always ensured I was comfortable and were diligent in getting to the solution of my issue! Not only were the doctors exceptional, but the front desk staff went above and beyond to ensure I had my following appointments booked and that I had all my questions answered! All in all, fantastic experience. I highly recommend this location and wish other practices held to their standard.
Monica Logan
Everyone I interacted with was very friendly, respectful, and attentive. From the person who did the eye tests to the person who helped with the glasses.
The doctor was also great. He didn’t rush and took his time explaining his observations and the next steps. He truly cares. As a healthcare professional myself, I know when I see exemplary patient care.
Thank you for the awesome service
Leonardo Faundez
I’ve never had an eye appointment before so I didn’t know what to expect. The staff was absolutely wonderful! Dr Heshmati was so kind and thorough and knowledgeable…he explained everything he was going to do so well and helped me with my prescription.
I had help from a wonderful lady whose name I didn’t catch…she helped me pick out the perfect frames for my new glasses and was so patient and helpful.
The staff was so friendly and approachable. I had a great experience and I highly recommend this clinic to anyone needing their eyes checked!

I wish I knew this eye clinic earlier! The eye exam was very thorough and Dr. Habib explained in detail about our testing results. The clinic has advanced machine to detect eye problems that are not normally checked. The front desk assistant was very professional as well and helped us finding eye glasses. Clinic is super clean!
