Our eyes change as we age.

Regular eye exams can help detect age-related conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration early.

Healthy vision is an important part of healthy aging – and regular eye exams are your best defence to catch those changes before they become a problem.

Your eyes can tell a bigger story than you think. During a comprehensive eye exam, your Doctor of Optometry can spot early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune conditions, and even tumours. Many of these have zero symptoms in the early stages. Your eye health is part of your overall health. Don’t skip your annual exam.

The Alberta Association of Optometrists was pleased to attend the Manitoba Association of Optometrists (MAO) One Vision Convention this past weekend!

The conference was a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues and leaders from across the country, share updates from Alberta, and engage in the important conversations of how we can continue advancing optometric care through collaboration.

We look forward to advancing these conversations and fostering stronger partnerships nationwide!

Kids often don’t know they have a problem because they think what they see is normal. A full eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry catches what you and your kiddo can’t. Children can have their first eye exam as early as six to nine months. Find an Alberta Doctor of Optometry on our website.

A comprehensive eye exam by your Doctor of Optometry sees deep into your eye.

They examine the internal and external health of your eyes, checking for things like retinal tears, optic nerve disorders, and early signs of conditions like diabetes and hypertension. A lot of that has nothing to do with whether you need glasses.

This is your sign. Whether it’s been two years or ten, your eyes deserve some attention. Your Doctor of Optometry can examine, diagnose, and treat eye conditions you didn’t even know were there. It’s quick, it’s easy, and your future self will thank you.

The general guideline? Get an eye exam every two years. But your Doctor of Optometry might recommend you come in more often based on your age, health history, or risk factors. 👁️

They know your eyes best, so follow their lead. When in doubt, just ask at your next visit.

An eye exam is about more than whether or not you need glasses.

Your Doctor of Optometry can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure before you ever notice symptoms. “Perfect vision” doesn’t mean perfect eye health.

Book your next eye exam, even if you think you don’t need one. Your future self will thank you.
