At Ambleside Family Optometry, our focus is to ensure we are able to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you, your family as well as for our team. We have taken the following steps to ensure a safe visit:
- All patients will be asked to sanitize or wash their hands upon entry into the clinic
- One patient/family will be booked per hour to allow ample time for the eye exam and frame selection if needed
- All surfaces that the patient has touched will be disinfected
- We will temporarily suspend completion of intake paperwork unless required by insurance
- All staff and optometrists will wash/sanitize their hands before and after every patient encounter
- All frames that have been tried on will be set aside and cleaned after each patient
- Patients should attend appointments on their own or with one caregiver if required
- We do not perform non-contact tonometry (air puff test) in our office
- We continue to ask that patients who have travelled recently, are feeling unwell or showing any symptoms of illness postpone coming into our office for at least 2 weeks
If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact us at: 780-752-5588
At Ambleside Family Optometry, we offer comprehensive eye exams for your entire family. An optometrist will assess your eye health to detect, diagnose, and manage eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, as well as systemic health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. Your vision includes more than just how well you see!
Contact us today to make an appointment with one of our Edmonton optometrists.
Children should visit an optometrist to have their first eye exam between age 6 and 9 months, again at age 3 and 5, then annually. These visits are covered through Alberta Health Care.
Adults should be seen every one to two years depending on your eye care needs.
Seniors (65 and over) should be seen every year. Your visits are covered through Alberta Health Care.
*There are some tests that are considered to be optional and may not be billable through Alberta Health Care.
Almost everyone can wear contact lenses. Schedule an appointment with our optometrist today so we can understand your individual needs and help find the most suitable option for you.
A comprehensive eye exam is more than measuring your vision. Our Doctors of Optometry will also assess your visual system and ocular health to detect any issues you may not be aware of. Preventative care is important in maintaining your overall health, so think of a comprehensive eye exam like a “physical” for your eyes.

During these times of physical distancing, it’s understandable if most of us are spending more time on our devices. But how much screen time is too much, and how can it affect our eyes?
Here in Part 2, we expand on the importance of prescription accuracy and discuss how an optician can help you find the right glasses for your particular vision needs.
