Protect Your Vision, One Eye Exam at a Time
Your eyes deserve more than a quick check-up. At Airdrie Family Eye Doctors, we take a comprehensive approach to protecting your long-term eye health.
Our eye exams go beyond checking your glasses prescription to look for early signs of conditions that can affect your long-term vision. Eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts can develop slowly and without symptoms.
That’s why early detection and proactive care are so important. Whether you’re managing a known condition or want peace of mind, we are here to provide personalized care and clear answers. Book your next eye exam with us today to keep your vision clear and protected.
Seeing the Bigger Picture
We don’t just help you see better; we help you stay ahead of issues that could impact your vision for life. Our eye exams include in-depth screening for a range of eye diseases and conditions. When caught early, many of these conditions can be managed effectively to help preserve your sight.
We tailor your care plan to your needs, using a range of tools and treatments designed to monitor, slow, or manage progression.
The Technology Behind Your Eye Health
We use diagnostic tools to help detect, monitor, and manage eye diseases as early and accurately as possible:
- iCare tonometer: A quick and gentle way to measure eye pressure without the use of air puffs or numbing drops. This tool is especially helpful for detecting early signs of glaucoma.
- Virtual reality visual field testing (VR VF): A modern, headset-based approach to checking your peripheral vision. This technology helps us monitor for changes related to glaucoma, neurological conditions, and other eye diseases that affect your field of vision.
- optomap retinal imaging: This ultra-widefield scan captures a detailed image of the back of your eye, often without the need for dilation. It allows us to detect early signs of conditions like diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, and retinal tears.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT): OCT provides a high-resolution, cross-sectional image of the retina, giving us a clear view of the different layers of the eye. It is an essential tool for managing glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other retinal concerns.
Eye Diseases & Conditions We Monitor & Manage
Your eyes are complex and delicate, requiring ongoing care. Many eye diseases can develop gradually, sometimes without obvious symptoms, until significant damage has occurred.
Our team prioritizes early detection and personalized management to protect your vision and quality of life. Here’s a closer look at some of the most common eye conditions we help you monitor and manage.
AMD affects the macula, the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This condition is one of the leading causes of vision loss in people over 50. Factors like smoking, family history, and poor nutrition can increase your risk.
Detecting AMD early gives you a better chance of preserving your sight. Treatment options range from nutritional supplements to targeted injections and laser therapies, all aimed at slowing progression and maintaining your independence.
A cataract clouds the natural lens of your eye, leading to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty with everyday tasks like reading or driving at night. Cataracts develop slowly and are extremely common with age.
During a thorough eye exam, we can identify cataracts before they seriously impact your vision. When the time is right, we will guide you through your options for cataract surgery, helping you regain clear, vibrant sight.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can damage your optic nerve without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Elevated pressure inside the eye is a common cause, but not the only one.
Regular screenings allow us to catch glaucoma early. There are a range of treatments for glaucoma, including prescription eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical options, to control eye pressure and protect your vision.
Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. While common in children and teens, progressive myopia can increase the risk of eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.
Regular eye exams allow us to monitor your child’s vision, detect rapid progression early, and provide personalized myopia control strategies to protect long-term eye health.
