Dry Eye

Dry eye is a common condition that can cause burning, irritation, redness, fluctuating vision, and watery eyes. Dry eye symptoms can happen when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tear film is poor quality. At Fort Saskatchewan Eyecare, we assess dry eye symptoms and recommend treatment options based on your needs and lifestyle.

​
Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye exams are important because glaucoma can develop slowly and silently. Our optometrists use advanced testing to check for signs of glaucoma and monitor your eye health over time.
​
Cataracts

Cataracts develop when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, and faded colours. Cataracts are common with age, but regular monitoring can help determine when changes in vision may need further treatment or referral.
​
Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration affects the central part of the retina and can impact reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. Early detection is key. Comprehensive eye exams allow our optometrists to monitor the retina and look for changes that may need close follow-up or co-management.
​
Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in the eyes and may lead to diabetic retinopathy or other vision-threatening complications. Even if your vision seems normal, regular diabetic eye exams are important for detecting changes early and protecting your long-term eye health.
​
Computer Vision Syndrome and Eye Strain

Long hours on screens can cause tired eyes, headaches, blurred vision, dry eye symptoms, and neck or shoulder tension. We assess how your visual system is responding to screen use and can recommend lenses, habits, and treatment options to improve comfort.
​
Refractive Errors

Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia are common vision problems that can affect how clearly you see at different distances. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine the right prescription and the best options for glasses or contact lenses.
​
Retinal Concerns

Flashes, floaters, sudden blur, or shadows in your vision should never be ignored. These symptoms can sometimes point to retinal issues that need prompt attention. If you notice sudden visual changes, contact our clinic as soon as possible.
