After nearly 26 incredible years, we’re celebrating the retirement of Terri, a truly valued part of the Advanced Eyecare family.

Terri’s dedication, compassion, and hard work have made a lasting impact on our team and the many patients she’s cared for over the years. Her friendly smile and commitment to excellence have been a constant, and she will be deeply missed by both colleagues and patients alike.

While it’s not easy to say goodbye, we are so excited for Terri as she begins this well-earned next chapter. We hope her retirement is filled with relaxation, joy, and plenty of time doing the things she loves most.

Please join us in congratulating Terri on an amazing career and wishing her all the best in retirement! We will be hosting coffee and treats on Thursday April 9th from 1pm-5pm.

What to expect during your eye exam...
At our clinic, a typical comprehensive eye exam lasts between 40 and 60 minutes. During your exam, our friendly and knowledgeable optometrists will guide you through several tests to get a complete picture of your eye health.

Visual acuity test
This checks how clearly you see at different distances.

Refraction test
This helps us determine the right prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.

Topography
This provides a detailed map of your cornea to detect any irregularities or conditions like keratoconus.

Optomap retinal screening
This involves a wide-angle image of the retina that helps us catch early signs of issues like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
