What types of appointments are available?
At The Eyewear Bar Laval, we offer a variety of optometry appointments tailored to your specific vision needs. Here’s a look at the services we provide:
Routine Eye Exams
Recommended every one to two years, these comprehensive check-ups are ideal for both adults and children. During the exam, our optometrist evaluates your overall eye health, checks your visual acuity, updates your prescription if needed, and screens for any potential vision or eye health concerns.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Designed specifically for young children, these exams help detect vision issues early — even before a child can read. Our optometrist assesses eye development, visual acuity, and determines whether corrective lenses are needed.
Contact Lens Exams
For those who wear contact lenses, regular evaluations are essential. We assess the health of your cornea, ensure proper lens fit, and verify that your prescription is accurate and comfortable for daily wear.

To ensure a precise eye exam, please bring the following:
- your most recent optometric prescription (if available, for visual history)

Any other relevant vision-related medical documents are also welcome.
