COMPREHENSIVE Eye Exams

"Doctors of optometry recommend that adults have a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years.  In some cases, more frequent visits may be required. 

Our eyes change as we age, and as many common eye diseases have no early signs or symptoms, regular eye exams are the only way to ensure your eyes are healthy.  During an eye exam, your doctor of optometry will examine the tissues and structures inside the eye, looking for eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma or macular degeneration, as well as tears in the retina, bleeding and tumours.  They will also look for early signs of serious medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular disease during an exam.

Based on the results, your doctor of optometry will advise you about corrective lens options most suited to your personal needs, the treatment options, or will refer you to a specialist if further evaluation or treatment is required"

Specialized seniors exams

Seniors 65 years and older are eligible for one complete eye exam, one partial exam and one diagnostic procedure per benefit year (July 1 to June 30) paid for by the Alberta government.

We have invested in some of the most advanced technology that allows us to specialize in age related conditions, such as: 

  • Age related macular degeneration

  • Glaucoma

  • Cataracts

  • Dry or irritable eyes

  • flashes & floaters

With our Zeiss OCT we are able to scan the layers of your retina, give our Doctors the ability to detect issues sooner. The Humphrey visual fields analyzer tests your pretrial vision detecting vision loss and other conditions such as tumours, glaucoma, vascular diseses, hereditary diseases and other conditions. The OCT and Humphreys Visual equipment integrates the data from each and produce a report providing the Doctor greater accuracy in monitoring your eye conditions overtime.

Children's Eye Exams

Eye exams for children are extremely important because 5 to 10 percent of preschoolers and 25 percent of school-aged children have vision problems. Early identification of a child's vision problem can be crucial because children often are more responsive to treatment when problems are diagnosed early. According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should have additional eye exams at age 3, and annually to follow.
