What is a dry eye assessment?

Eyewear styling helps you find specs that not only suit your lifestyle and vision needs but are catered to your taste and what best suits your features! Starting with an eyewear style assessment and discussion of your prescription, our trained staff members will select frames that will provide not just function but fashion.

Why should I get an eye exam annually?
An eye examination is more than a vision test; it offers a view of the whole eye and can identify any potential problems. Even if you do not wear glasses, comprehensive eye exams should remain a routine part of your health checkups as early detection is the key to continued eye health.
Why do some eye tests require dilation?
Dilation enlarges your pupil and prevents it from shrinking when the doctor shines light at your eye. This allows the doctor to get a better view of your retina which can alert her to a number of concerns. Early detection is crucial to preventing conditions that can lead to vision loss. Dilation typically wears off within a couple hours and is not harmful to the eye.
Is there a difference in buying eyewear from your optometrist versus online?
Purchasing eyewear from your Optometrist guarantees precise measurements such as pupil distance and optical centers resulting in the most accurate vision possible as opposed to online ordering that relies on self taken measurements or averages. Lenses from your optometrist are customized for each individual’s unique lifestyle and created using the latest leading technology and materials.
What should I do if I have a concern outside of operating hours?
If your concern is a life threatening injury or time sensitive, the emergency room is the best place to go. However, if you have a milder worry such as rescheduling an appointment or challenges with your eyewear you can contact us by email at admin@doctorseyecaregp.ca, call 780-830-5330 and leave a voicemail or text 587-803-1924.
