Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management in SE Calgary

The optomap device is designed to be fast, easy, and comfortable for anyone. The entire imaging process consists of you looking into the device one eye at a time.

As part of your comprehensive eye exam, an optomap can provide:

• A scan to assess your eye health and detect diseases.
• A view of your retina, giving your doctor a more comprehensive view than they may be able to get by other means.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your file, which allows us to view your images each year and monitor changes to your eye health.

Cataracts, characterized by the gradual clouding of the eye’s lens, are a common age-related condition. Clouding from cataracts can affect your vision, leading to symptoms such as blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low-light conditions, and increased sensitivity to glares.

While cataracts are often a natural part of aging, their impact on daily life can be significant. In many cases, they can be effectively managed through surgical intervention used to restore clarity and sharpness to your vision.

AMD is a progressive eye condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. As AMD advances, central vision can become distorted or lost, making activities like reading or recognizing faces challenging.

Early detection through routine eye exams is important for implementing strategies to slow AMD progression and preserve your remaining vision.

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions characterized by vision loss and damage to the optic nerve—often as a result of increased eye pressure. Glaucoma can develop slowly, with symptoms appearing only in advanced stages of progression.

Routine eye exams are essential for the early detection of glaucoma, enabling timely intervention to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further optic nerve damage. Managing glaucoma early can help preserve your vision and prevent irreversible vision loss.

Commonly known as pink eye, conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inner eyelid. It can be caused by infections, allergies, or irritants. Symptoms of conjunctivitis include redness, eye irritation, watery eyes, and discharge.

Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to address the underlying cause of conjunctivitis and relieve your symptoms.

Flashes of light or floating specks in your vision may indicate issues with your retina, such as retinal detachment or vitreous detachment. These symptoms may require immediate attention to prevent vision loss, or they may be a sign of other health issues affecting your eyes and body.
