Adult Eye Exams

If you’re scheduled for an appointment at our eye clinic in Market Mall, coming prepared to your appointment can help us better meet your eye care needs.

What To Bring To Your Appointment:

• Any prescription glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses
• Any eye drops you are using
• Any medications and supplements
• A family history of significant medical conditions
• Your vision insurance information
• A record of recent eye injuries or surgeries

An standard eye exam includes:

• Assessment to test colour deficiency
• Measurement of depth perception
• Measurement of the pressure inside of your eyes
• Measurement of your existing glasses prescription
• A review of any health concerns you may have or that may be in your family history
• Examination of your eyes with and without the help of lenses 
• Full assessment of the health of your eyes 
• Retinal photo to assess the health of the back of your eyes 
• Optometrist-determined prescription

Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) covers annual eye exams for children aged 0-18 and for adults aged 65 and up. The province's health insurance plan also provides coverage for all emergency visits to an eye doctor. For more information about emergency visit, please click the button below.

A large number of patients report some visual discomfort, such as distorted vision, a “fish bowl” effect, mild headaches, or eye strain with a new prescription. These symptoms can be due to your eyes adjusting to new lenses, a difference in frames and lens shapes, or a switch to a progressive lens. This discomfort will typically last a few days - however, if you notice discomfort after a week or two of wearing your new lenses, be sure to discuss the issue with your optometrist.  

A progressive lens gives you three vision powers in one lineless lens for a more aesthetic and natural way to view the world. Progressives let you see clearly at any distance all with a single pair of glasses. By adjusting your head and eye position, you will be able to see far away, mid-range, and close-up.

We are conveniently located next to Milestones by the North entrance of Market Mall.
