Vision Assessments for All Ages in Edmonton

Are you looking for an eye exam that does more than assess your vision? We redefine the standard for comprehensive eye exams by focusing on thorough, detailed assessments. Our exams are an integral part of our commitment to your overall eye health, designed to detect not just common vision problems but also identify early signs of eye diseases.

Advanced Eye Exams with Cutting-Edge Technology

Our excellence in conducting eye exams comes from using advanced diagnostic technology. Equipped with state-of-the-art Optos imaging equipment, our eye doctors can thoroughly examine the retina without dilation, providing comfort and convenience for our patients. Additionally, our digital refractors determine the most accurate prescriptions, ensuring optimal vision correction. At Prairie Eye Care, every exam is an opportunity to enhance visual health using the latest eye care innovations and patient-focused care.

Help Your Child Excel with Regular Eye Exams

Good vision is essential for a child's educational success and overall development. Studies show that approximately 80% of a child's learning is visual, from reading to interacting with their environment. Yet, vision problems can profoundly affect this learning process if not addressed promptly.

Regular pediatric eye exams ensure children have the visual tools they need to succeed academically and socially. At Prairie Eye Care, we emphasize the importance of early and regular assessments to catch and treat any vision issues before they impact your child's learning ability. Don’t let undetected vision issues hinder your child's learning and development. Book a comprehensive eye exam with us to give them the clear vision they need to succeed.

Why Every Adult Needs a Yearly Eye Exam

Regular eye exams are crucial for adults, serving as a preventive health measure beyond simply updating prescriptions. Many common vision problems and eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration, often present with no visible symptoms in their early stages. When you notice something is wrong, these conditions could be advanced enough to pose serious risks to your sight. Annual eye exams allow for early detection and treatment of these problems.

Furthermore, comprehensive eye exams can reveal underlying health issues. During your routine assessment, our optometrists can detect signs of systemic conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes. By committing to yearly eye exams, you ensure the health of your eyes and contribute to your overall well-being.

See Clearly with Contact Lens Exams

A contact lens exam is essential for anyone looking to wear contacts, whether you're a first-time wearer or need to update your prescription. This unique exam goes beyond a standard eye check to evaluate your eye's surface and ensure the contacts fit perfectly. This is crucial for your comfort and to prevent potential eye health issues.

Our team provides fittings for all types of contact lenses, including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocals for presbyopia, and rigid gas-permeable lenses for optimum clarity. Our optometrists use advanced tools to measure your eyes precisely and take the time to discuss your lifestyle needs to recommend the best type of contacts for you.
