Police Eye Exams in Brampton
If you’re applying to a police service in Ontario, your application must include a vision test that meets the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police vision requirements. This exam ensures your vision is safe and functional for the demands of policing.
Your eye exam includes testing for:
- Visual acuity (near and distance)
- Colour vision
- Peripheral (visual field) testing
- Depth perception
- Eye coordination and focusing ability
Our eye doctors can complete all required OACP vision forms during your visit and ensure you have everything needed to meet OACP vision requirements.
Military Eye Exams for Canadian Armed Forces Applicants
If you're pursuing a career with the Canadian Armed Forces, you’ll need a military eye exam that evaluates whether your vision meets the Forces eye exam requirements in Canada. Each military role has specific visual standards, and your optometrist must verify these before you proceed with training.
At Vivid Eyecare, we provide:
- Complete pre-enlistment military vision testing
- Documentation aligned with Canadian Armed Forces vision exam criteria
- Referral or coordination with CAF medical services if required
Government and Pre-Employment Vision Testing
We also offer occupational vision testing for a range of government and private-sector roles that require proof of visual fitness before employment begins.
These may include:
- Border services
- Correctional officers
- Fire services
- Transport operators
- Industrial safety roles
- Vision exam for employment across government sectors
If you're unsure whether you meet the government vision exam standard for your role, we can guide you through what’s required.

- Full eye health examination
