Book Appointment

Are you applying to become a police officer in Ontario? One important step in the process is passing the OACP (Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police) vision assessment — and that’s where we come in.

At Perception Eyecare, your trusted optometrist in Stoney Creek, Ontario, we provide OACP-compliant eye exams to help you meet the vision requirements with ease and confidence.

What Are the OACP Vision Standards?

To pass the OACP vision assessment, you’ll need to meet the following:

  • Uncorrected vision: 20/40 or better in each eye without glasses or contact lenses
  • Corrected vision: 20/20 or better in each eye with glasses or contacts
  • Peripheral vision: Normal visual field in each eye
  • Color vision: Must pass Ishihara color plate testing
  • Post-surgery candidates: If you’ve had LASIK or PRK, you may need a recovery period and a specialist’s report
