Regular eye exams are the cornerstone of maintaining healthy eyes and ensuring clear vision. Like seeing your family doctor, visiting your optometrist or ophthalmologist is a proactive investment in your overall well-being. During these exams, our skilled eye doctors will thoroughly assess your eye health, detect potential issues, and make personalized recommendations to protect your vision.
Many eye conditions, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, develop silently, with no apparent symptoms. Booking routine appointments can help us to identify and treat these issues early to maintain healthy vision.
Since vision changes can occur gradually, regular exams also ensure that your corrective eyewear prescription remains up to date, so you’ll enjoy optimal clarity and comfort.
We provide expert recommendations on corrective eyewear, including prescription glasses and a full range of comfortable, convenient contact lenses.
It’s essential to have your child’s eyes examined regularly by an optometrist. Children may not always express when they are experiencing vision problems because they may assume that what they see or feel is normal.
Regular eye exams can detect issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or lazy eye (amblyopia) early, so that your child can receive the necessary treatment to correct or manage these conditions.
Good vision is essential for learning, and undiagnosed vision problems can lead to difficulties in reading, writing, and concentrating in school. Children who see clearly are also more likely to engage in activities and interact with their peers confidently.
Give your child the best start in life and avoid untreated problems that can lead to permanent vision impairment by seeing your optometrist regularly. Annual eye exams are covered for children 18 years and under.
Unfortunately, emergencies often happen at inopportune times. Northland Eye Care recognizes how alarming it can be to have an eye emergency, and is here to provide you with timely care when you need it most.
Our Calgary emergency eye care services can address injuries, infections, and sudden vision disturbances, ensuring that your eyes are in expert hands during the most critical moments.
As we age, we may experience changes in our vision and eye health. We also become more susceptible to age-related eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. These conditions can develop gradually and without noticeable symptoms in their early stages.
Most people also experience presbyopia as they get older, which is a gradual loss of the ability to focus on near objects. Maintain good vision for reading and other close-up tasks by having your corrective eyewear prescription adjusted as needed.
In addition to good vision, seeing your optometrist can help to prevent adverse side effects from medications, reduce your risk of falls and accidents, and detect systemic health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure, which may first manifest with changes in the eyes.
We look forward to seeing older adults regularly so that we can detect issues early, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Annual exams are covered for individuals 65 years and older.
If you’re an individual living with diabetes, having your eyes examined regularly is critical. Diabetes can have a significant impact on eye health, and early detection and management of diabetes-related eye problems can prevent vision loss and complications.
High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in your eyes, leading to swelling, leaking, and the growth of abnormal vessels, known as diabetic retinopathy. Early detection allows for timely treatment and can prevent vision loss and blindness.
Diabetics are also at a higher risk of developing other eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Regular monitoring is essential to manage these conditions and ensure they don’t progress to the point of causing significant vision impairment.
If you have diabetes, our skilled team can provide you with the preventive care and education you need to protect your vision. Early detection and treatment can help to ensure that you continue to enjoy a high quality of life and independence.
We’re committed to bringing new advances in optometry care to you, with advanced diagnostic tools to add in the early detection of diseases. This includes cutting-edge technology like our optical coherence tomography scans. These scans provide a detailed image of your retina, allowing for timely intervention to protect your vision.
Our Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer is a medical device that’s used to assess your peripheral vision. It’s beneficial in detecting conditions like glaucoma that may otherwise go unnoticed. Early diagnosis means early treatment and the preservation of your sight.
We also use corneal topography, a non-invasive diagnostic tool that creates a detailed map of the curvature of your cornea. This can aid in assessing conditions like keratoconus and ensure that your contact lenses fit perfectly for maximum comfort and clarity.
