FAQs

At Lunetterie F. Tohmé, we generally recommend an eye exam every one to two years for most adults. For children, the elderly, or those with specific medical conditions (such as diabetes) or a family history of eye disease, more frequent exams may be necessary. Your optometrist will determine the ideal frequency for you.

At Lunetterie F. Tohmé, it is important to understand the roles:

• An optometrist (like our professionals) is a doctor of optometry who performs comprehensive eye exams, diagnoses and treats eye diseases and disorders, prescribes eyeglasses and contact lenses, and may prescribe certain medications.
• An optician is a healthcare professional who fits, adjusts, and sells eyeglasses and contact lenses according to the prescription of the optometrist or ophthalmologist.

At Lunetterie F. Tohmé, eye exams are generally covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) for children under 18 and people 65 and older. For other age groups, some or all of the costs may be covered by your private insurance. We invite you to check the details of your insurance policy or contact us for more information on direct billing.

No. At Lunetterie F. Tohmé, an eyeglass prescription is not sufficient for contact lenses. Lenses require a specific prescription that includes eye curvature and diameter measurements, as well as an ocular health assessment to ensure your eyes can tolerate the lenses. A contact lens fitting exam is required.

Here are our recommendations. At Lunetterie F. Tohmé, to clean your glasses, first rinse them under warm water to remove any dust particles. Then, use a mild soap (no lotion) and gently rub the lenses and frames. Rinse again and dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth (never use paper towels or tissues, which could scratch the lenses). Avoid alcohol- or ammonia-based cleaners.
