Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include visual acuity assessments, intraocular pressure measurements, and retinal imaging. We detect ocular diseases like glaucoma and cataracts while monitoring systemic conditions such as diabetes. The process involves binocular vision evaluation and customized prescription determination for optimal vision correction.
Prescription Glasses
We offer single vision, progressive, and high-index lenses with anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and UV protection coatings. Our opticians help select frames that complement facial features while ensuring proper fit and comfort for daily wear and specialized activities.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include fittings for astigmatism, multifocal, and daily disposable lenses. We provide enhanced comfort options and overnight wear solutions while ensuring proper oxygen flow to maintain eye health through regular follow-up assessments.
Safety Glasses
We supply CSA-approved safety glasses for industrial, construction, and laboratory environments. Our selection includes prescription and non-prescription models with impact-resistant lenses and durable frames that meet Alberta workplace safety standards for hazard protection.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our pediatric exams detect refractive errors, amblyopia, and developmental issues affecting school performance. We offer durable, flexible frames and impact-resistant lenses designed for active children, with age-appropriate testing environments to ensure accurate assessments and comfortable fittings.
