PRE-OP AND POST-OP SURGICAL SUPPORT

At For Eyes Optical, we provide pre-operative and post-operative care for surgeries including Lasik vision correction, cataract surgery, Intacs surgery for Keratoconus, and certain Glaucoma related surgeries. We are experienced in providing the essential pre-and post-operative care that helps make these surgeries a success and work closely with our local surgeons. In order to achieve a successful outcome, a comprehensive eye exam is needed to see if you are a good candidate.

CONSULTATION AND REFERRALS

Once we have assessed your particular needs during a comprehensive exam, we present all available options. These may include glasses, contact lenses, eye exercises, eye drops, medications, diet suggestions, and/or referrals to the appropriate ophthalmologist. We are familiar with all of the local ophthalmologists and know which specialist will best suit your needs if you require further assessment or surgery.

EYE EXAMS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that infants and toddlers have their first eye examination at the age of 6-9 months. Preschool children should have at least one eye examination between the ages of 2 and 5 years (prior to starting school). Children who are 6 to 19 years of age should have their eyes examined each year. All infant and children eye exams until the age of 19 years of age are paid entirely by Manitoba Health.

EYE EXAMS FOR ADULTS AND SENIORS

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that seniors and adults undergo an eye exam every 1 or 2 years respectively. This helps detect and diagnose vision changes or problems and therefore maintains eye health. Regular vision examinations are also important for the prevention of vision problems created or aggravated by today’s academic, lifestyle and professional demands. If you are having any issues prior to the time recommended by your optometrist and/or have been referred by your family or specialized doctor, please contact us for an appointment at any time.

ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR OF EYEWEAR

Eyewear often needs to be adjusted to maintain comfort as well as optimal vision. We offer this service at no charge to all of our customers. We also offer custom repair services including soldering broken frames, replacing lost screws, nose pads and more.

Our optometrists fit all forms of contact lenses including daily disposable wear, extended wear, multifocal, coloured lenses and custom RGPs for people with complex prescriptions or corneal conditions such as Keratoconus. We also offer many options for astigmatism and presbyopia.
