Comprehensive Eye Exams
Having regular eye exams is as essential to your overall health as any medical or dental exam. At Lethbridge Vision Care, we see patients of all ages, including children and seniors.
Eye exams are easy and even enjoyable. Our welcoming clinic is located inside LensCrafters and our team of optometrists is highly trained to provide exceptional care using state-of-the-art optometry technology.
A comprehensive eye exam will ensure you’re seeing well and identify any issues that may be threatening your vision, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy. Many of these concerns have no or minimal symptoms, meaning that regular exams are essential to their detection. As well, an optometrist is trained to recognize medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Your appointment will include a thorough assessment of your eye health and vision and address any concerns you’re experiencing. Annual eye exams are recommended beginning at age three.

Myopia Control
Myopia is commonly known as nearsightedness. People with myopia see things close to them clearly but may experience blurry vision for objects that are further away.
At Lethbridge Vision Care, we provide comprehensive screening for myopia. Although there isn’t a cure, progression of myopia is slowed with early intervention, particularly in children, making regular screenings essential to protect vision.
Myopia is caused by a refractive error from a curved or long lense that makes focussing difficult. Our urban lifestyle and close working spaces are contributing to the increased incidence of myopia. Other causes include a lack of outdoor activity and genetic factors.
If you’re experiencing eye strain, headaches, squinting, or fatigue while reading or playing sports, you may have myopia. Lack of treatment can increase your risk for eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.
At Lethbridge Vision Care, our thorough eye exams include a refraction assessment to identify signs of myopia. We also offer treatment options to prevent further progression and improve your vision.
It’s essential for children experiencing myopia to be treated effectively to prevent vision issues later in life. Our optometrists are certified to prescribe MiSight 1 day soft contact lenses. These specialty lenses are proven to slow the progression of myopia in children as well as correcting the refractive error. Book your appointment to find out more about myopia control, including options for corrective lenses or referrals for refractive laser surgery to reshape your cornea.
