Optometrists have been able to treat glaucoma for many years, but a new pilot program with Saskatchewan Health allows these services to be covered by a patient's health card since late 2025!

This includes OCT imaging and Visual Field testing for patients diagnosed with glaucoma or those who have high-risk of developing this sight-threatening condition. Talk to your Optometrist about your risk factors for glaucoma and if the new billing allowances will apply to you!

This month is Glaucoma Awareness Month in Canada!

Glaucoma is a progressive condition that affects your side (or peripheral) vision and can lead to permanent tunnel vision in the end stages. Some people with glaucoma have symptoms of eye pain or redness, but about 90% of cases are "primary open-angle" glaucoma where vision loss happens slowly and painlessly, with NO warning signs. This is why routine eye exams are so important, even if you're not having problems with your vision!

Our Story

Our Mission: We are dedicated to providing the people of southern Saskatchewan with the best complete eye care possible using state of the art diagnostic equipment. Our optical dispensary carries over 1000 frames to appeal to all wants and needs, and uses all the latest lens technologies. We also provide contact lenses, low vision aids and binocular vision training. We work closely with Horizon Laser Vision Centre to provide you with the best possible refractive surgery outcomes.

History of Primary Eye Care Centre:

Primary Eye Care Centre was founded by Dr. Myles McMorris and Dr. Jacqueline John in 1982. Dr. McMorris and Dr. John were both raised in the province of Saskatchewan and graduated from the University of Waterloo, Ontario in 1981 with Doctor of Optometry degrees. Dr. Shannon Gatrell joined the practice in 2008 as an associate and became a partner in the business in 2010. Dr. Shawn Lins then joined the practice in 2014 as an associate and became a partner in 2018. Dr. McMorris officially retired from the practice in June 2018. We wish him the best in his retirement. Dr. Marcia Mitschke joined the practice as an associate in August 2018.

We have always felt that in addition to serving our patients to the best of our abilities, it is important to contribute to our professional Association, our Community and our Province. We are proud members of the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists (SAO), Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO), and the Eye Health Council of Canada. We are very supportive of the SAO Optometric Assistants Program.
