Routine eye exams become increasingly more important as we get older. The prevalence of eye disease elevates as we enter into our 60's and 70's, with eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) becoming more common. As with most eye diseases, early detection is the key to preventing or delaying devastating vision loss.
FACT: All patients 65 years of age or older are
covered for a routine eye exam once a year.
Our goal at Stonewire is that every senior in Edmonton receives a regular eye health examination on an annual basis. Should your Doctor of Optometry uncover something that requires further eye care treatment or care by an ophthalmologist, our office will take care of the arrangements.
Stonewire is equipped with all the latest diagnostic technology such as high-definition retinal photography, Optomap Technology, and OCT retinal imaging. We are also equipped to provide complete post-operative eye care for surgeries such as cataracts.
