If you're applying somewhere that needs a vision assessment, have a look here first. These are the forms we complete regularly — so you can check we have yours before you book, and bring the right paperwork with you. Not every form needs a visual field test, and if yours doesn't, you pay less.
Services issue their own paperwork, and versions change. Bring the form you were given — the copies here are so you know what to expect and can check we handle it.
Don't see yours? Email us the form and we'll confirm we can complete it before you book.
Police, RCMP, firefighter and paramedic applications all include a visual field, so these are our flat applicant rate.
Aircrew, aviation medical and NDT/XRF certification forms don't call for a visual field — so you don't pay for one.
The Canadian Armed Forces aircrew form calls for cycloplegic refraction, binocular vision testing and stereopsis measurement — none of which are part of a routine exam.
The vision examination report for Regular Member applicants to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, completed by a Canadian optometrist or ophthalmologist.
The current version is GRC 2180e (2025-11). It requires corrected acuity of at least 6/6 (20/20) binocularly, uncorrected acuity of at least 6/18 (20/60) in each eye, a binocular visual field of at least 150° horizontally, and Ishihara colour vision with at least 17 of 21 plates correct — with Farnsworth D-15 as the fallback.
The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police administers pre-employment testing for police applicants across Ontario, and this is the vision package you'll be asked to complete. We handle Appendix A — the vision assessment — which must be completed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist licensed in Canada.
It calls for acuity, refraction, muscle balance, colour vision assessed without any colour-corrective lenses, and formal perimetric visual fields — the Humphrey Full Field 135-point programme run monocularly, or an accepted equivalent. We test to that standard.
Ontario Fire Administration Inc. runs the centralised firefighter screening, and its vision form is not published publicly — you get it either from the OFAI forms page or from your own candidate account on the Frontline Health & Performance Smartabase platform, then bring it to us.
The standard is NFPA 1582 Chapter 6: at least 20/30 corrected or 20/40 uncorrected with both eyes together, and peripheral vision of 110° or more in the better eye. Red-green colour deficiency is acceptable; monochromatic vision is not.
There is no single provincial paramedic vision form. Each paramedic service and college issues its own, usually as part of a wider pre-employment medical. The testing is the same though — acuity, colour vision and, on most of them, a visual field.
The Department of National Defence aircrew visual examination. It's a detailed form: uncorrected and corrected acuity, near vision at 30–50 cm and 100 cm, cycloplegic refraction, muscle balance, dilated fundoscopy, intraocular pressure, stereopsis and pupillary distance.
The Transport Canada medical report for pilots and air traffic controllers. The full report is completed by your Civil Aviation Medical Examiner — a physician — but it contains a visual examination section covering acuity, cover test, optic fundi, visual fields and colour perception.
Where your CAME asks for that section to be done by an eye care professional, or wants a supporting report, that's what we provide. Bring the form or the request with you.
Required by Natural Resources Canada when applying for initial NDT certification, renewal or recertification. Covers near vision acuity, distance acuity for visual testing methods, and colour vision — the Ishihara 24-plate test is named as a suitable option.
The equivalent form for x-ray fluorescence analyzer operators. It is a separate form and cannot be substituted for the NDT one. Colour vision is assessed by Ishihara.
Ontario form 023-5109E, used when the Ministry or the Driver Medical Review Office wants a report on your eyesight. This needs a more detailed visual field than employment applications, which is why we book it differently.
Under Regulation 340/94 a Class G driver needs acuity no poorer than 20/50 with both eyes open and a horizontal field of at least 120 continuous degrees. Commercial classes (A–F) need 20/30, and at least 150 continuous degrees.
Several of these forms require a colour vision assessment, and most name the Ishihara plates specifically. We test colour vision as part of application testing at no extra charge — just tell us your form needs it.
Exam, visual field test and your completed form — for police, firefighter, paramedic and RCMP applicants.
Email it over and we'll confirm we can complete it before you book — no appointment needed to ask.
