Assessment and Care for Changes in Vision and Eye Health

When your vision changes or discomfort persists, it is important to look beyond your prescription. Symptoms such as blurriness, strain, or dryness often signal that your eyes require professional attention. A thorough health assessment in our welcoming environment provides the clarity you need to protect your sight for years to come
Book an Appointment at McCormack Optometric Centre
Many patients are unsure whether their symptoms require an eye exam. It is reasonable to schedule an appointment if you are experiencing:
-
Changes in vision that do not feel typical
-
Difficulty focusing or increased eye strain
-
Irritation, dryness, or fluctuating vision
-
New or worsening visual symptoms
-
Concerns about a previously diagnosed condition
These changes are not always urgent, but they should not be ignored. Early assessment makes it easier to understand what is happening and whether monitoring or further care is needed.

Find Lasting Relief with Advanced Dry Eye Therapy
Dry eye symptoms can include burning, watering, irritation, and fluctuating vision. These symptoms often persist throughout the day and may worsen with screen use or environmental conditions.
Dry eye is not always resolved with basic treatments alone. The clinic provides evaluation and management based on the cause and severity of your symptoms to improve your comfort and vision stability.
Evidence-Based Myopia Management in West Edmonton
Myopia, or nearsightedness, often begins in childhood and may worsen over time. Many parents seek guidance when their child’s prescription continues to increase each year.
The eye care clinic provides myopia management options to help monitor and manage these changes. These may include orthokeratology, atropine therapy, and myopia-control eyeglass lenses such as MyoCare and Stellest®.
Your optometrist will explain the available options and recommend an approach based on your child’s vision and rate of change.
Keratoconus Management for Your Long-Term Wellness
Keratoconus affects the shape of the cornea and can lead to blurred or distorted vision. Patients may notice vision changes that are not corrected with standard glasses.
The clinic provides evaluation and ongoing care for keratoconus, including specialty contact lens options such as scleral lenses when appropriate. Regular monitoring helps track changes and guide care over time.
