I swear I had a very promising career in basketball. But I think I’m a much better optometrist. More importantly though, don’t forget about our contact lens recycling program! We’re shipping off an entire box of your contacts to @terracycleca to make sure they are being disposed of properly and to help keep micro plastics out of our oceans and water systems. Thanks @everycontactcounts for such an awesome program! ... #ehec #yeg #shpk #sherwoodpark #optometrist #optical #local #eyedoc #contactlenses #contacts #recycling #Bausch&Lomb #terracycle #everycontactcounts See more

Oh hey. Crazy to think we’ve been away from our social media since last year! (insert knee slap) We’re glad to be back at the office this week, and what better way to start a new year than with new frames!

Dry eye disease is WAY more common that you think. See that green stuff? Thats a special dye we source from the USA (thanks @independentoptical ) that stains all the dry/damaged cells on the surface of the eye. She has been diligent with warm compresses and lubricating drops, but her right eye is always more symptomatic than the left. You can see more of the green stain on her right eye in the photos. Out next step here is a medication made for inflammatory dry eye call...ed Xiidra! Well be seeing her back for a follow-up and cant wait to see how her eyes look! #ehec #yeg #shpk #sherwoodpark #optometrist #eyedoc #dryeye #dryeyeclinic #oculardisease #local #supportlocal #localsp See more

Yikes! Our patient here has been suffering with eye discomfort, pain and fluctuating vision that has affected their right eye more than the left. It has been happening on and off for several years now!! In this case, they happen to be on an antidepressant medication. Unfortunately, this class of medication can dry out many of our mucous membranes including our mouth, nose, and of course, eyes. Pictured here are this patients oil glands in the eyelids. As you can see where the... arrows point, these glands have shrunken quite a bit due to long term inflammation and medication use. The glands are more affected in the right eye than the left, which correlated with the symptoms. We will be getting this patient started on an aggressive dry eye regimen to get them seeing better and more comfortably, and hopefully manage this comfort as long as possible! If you are having any ocular discomfort, or are on these kinds of medications, call us to book a consult today! #ehec #yeg #shpk #sherwoodpark #ardrossan #local #eyedoc #optometrist #dryeye #advancedtreatment #meibography #dryeyedisease #oculardisease #themoreyouknow #supportlocal #localsp @ Emerald Hills Eye Care and Dry Eye Centre See more

Remember all those times when we say to call us when you have any sudden vision changes? This is one of those times. This patient had been noticing blurry vision in his left eye for nearly 2 weeks before he came in to see us. First photo is his right eye and second photo his left. Unfortunately, due to poorly controlled blood pressure and high cholesterol, he has suffered a stroke in the back of the left eye causing his retina to become swollen and blood vessels to become lea...ky. Thankfully we can send him off for treatment, but since it has been a couple of weeks his vision may not return to 100% normal. #ehec #yeg #shpk #sherwoodpark #ardrossan #local #eyedoc #optometrist #ophthalmologist #oculardisease #veinocclusion #CRVO #retina #retinaldisease @ Sherwood Park, Alberta See more

Are you the outdoorsy type? Then weve got just the thing for you! Green sunglass lenses are amazing for enhancing the contrast of colours outside.

Just a couple of awesome before and after photos of our BlephEx treatment! BlephEx is short for Blepharomicroexfolation. Over time dead skin and bacteria build up on the base of our lashes causing inflammation, itching, burning and irritation. This is known as blepharitis. We use our BlephEx tool along with a tea tree oil based cleanser to exfoliate the lashes and kill any offending bacteria!

Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR). This condition is scary, but thankfully not super serious. CSR results in fluid leaking out of the blood vessels and building up underneath the central retinal area called the macula. This results in distorted and blurred vision. In most cases, no treatment is required and vision goes back to pretty much normal! The main cause of CSR we see in these cases is #stress!! Stress causes the body to release crazy amounts of cortisol which causes in...flammation and leakage of blood vessels. Weve seen this disorder a little more often lately as a result of various stresses brought on by COVID. This may be financial stress, stress from losing a job, family stress, and many others. Stress can be controlled and if not controlled, can really be detrimental to our physical and mental health. While we do specialize in your ocular health, your mental health is equally important to us! If you or anybody you know needs somebody to talk to, were always here for you! @strathcocounty has awesome resources as well!
