A comprehensive eye exam does more than test your vision, it could help save your life. Optometrists are at the forefront of eye care, and as primary care health professionals, they support ensuring better health outcomes for all Canadians. The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) stresses the importance of regular comprehensive eye exams from infants to seniors, and the essential role of optometrists in ongoing discussions with legislators to shape a unified and integrated Canada's Health Workforce.
