Eye Disease Management in Calgary, AB
Your eyes are constantly changing, and early detection of eye diseases is essential to maintaining long-term vision. At OMNI Eyecare in Calgary, we provide comprehensive screenings, advanced diagnostics, and tailored treatment plans for a wide range of eye conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease.
With the latest technology and a patient-first approach, we ensure you receive the specialized care you need to protect your vision.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. While cataracts can’t be reversed, they can be successfully treated with cataract surgery.
At OMNI Eyecare, we provide cataract surgery co-management, working closely with experienced ophthalmologists to ensure pre-operative assessments, referral coordination, and post-surgical follow-up care. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth recovery and the best possible visual outcome.
Glaucoma Testing & Treatment
Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it can develop without symptoms until permanent vision loss occurs. This disease is caused by increased pressure inside the eye, leading to damage of the optic nerve.
At OMNI Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic tools to detect early signs of glaucoma, including tonometry (eye pressure measurement), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing. While glaucoma has no cure, early treatment with prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical intervention can help slow its progression and protect your vision.
Diabetic Eye Disease & Retinal Screenings
Diabetes can significantly affect eye health, increasing the risk of conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and cataracts. Diabetic eye disease occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the retinal blood vessels, leading to blurred vision, floaters, and potential vision loss.
At OMNI Eyecare, we provide detailed retinal screenings, OCT imaging, and dilated eye exams to monitor changes in diabetic patients. Early detection is key—if we identify signs of diabetic eye disease, we’ll work with your physician and eye specialists to create a treatment plan to preserve your vision.
Keratoconus Management
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. This irregularity distorts light entering the eye, leading to blurred or distorted vision, increased sensitivity to light, and frequent prescription changes.
At OMNI Eyecare, we diagnose and manage keratoconus using advanced diagnostic tools such as corneal topography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to monitor changes in corneal shape and thickness over time.
Symptoms of Keratoconus May Include:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions
- Halos or glare around lights
- Increased light sensitivity
- Difficulty seeing at night
Our Keratoconus Treatment Options Include:
- Scleral Contact Lenses: Large-diameter lenses that vault over the irregular cornea, providing clearer, more comfortable vision.
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Hard lenses that create a smooth refractive surface for better visual clarity.
- Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): A non-invasive treatment that strengthens the corneal structure to slow or halt progression. (Referral-based)
- Co-Management with Corneal Specialists: For advanced cases, we coordinate care with trusted specialists for surgical options such as corneal transplants.
Early detection is essential. If you notice signs of rapidly changing vision or unusual distortions, our team can help you determine if keratoconus is the cause and what steps to take next.
Managing Chronic Eye Conditions with Expert Care
In addition to cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease, we also diagnose and manage:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – A leading cause of central vision loss
- Dry eye disease – A chronic condition affecting tear production and eye comfort
- Keratoconus – A progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, affecting vision clarity
