Comprehensive Eye Exams
We are proactive in your eye exam.
We like to stay up-to-date with technology. We use the latest in retinal imaging to get high-definition imaging of the retina that detect microscopic detail that we can’t see with our eyes. You won’t find old school equipment here for your eye exam. Better yet, we don’t blow air into your eyes. You don’t believe us? Come see for yourself.

Diabetic Eye Exams
Although diabetes is a systemic disease, it can often first be identified and diagnosed during an eye exam.
Diabetes increases your chances of developing serious eye diseases and conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
​
Diabetic eyes require special care and attention, which is why Respect Eyecare offers eye exams tailored to their needs.
Individuals with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes should see their optometrist at least annually, even if they are not experiencing any symptoms with their health or vision.

Kid Eye Exams
Clear vision is the ultimate superpower.
​
Clear vision plays a critical role in a child’s learning, both inside and outside the classroom. When our children’s vision is compromised, it conflicts with their development and ability to learn.
​
Annual eye exams in Calgary allow our optometrists to your child’s eyes work well and staying healthy, so they can reach their full potential. We use digital wide-field imaging for all of our kids to proactively manage their eye health as part of their eye exam.
​
At Respect Eyecare, we welcome all superheroes and princesses aged 6 months and up.

Specialty Contact Lens fitting
Do you have astigmatism? Do you wear reading glasses? Have you been told in the past that you're not a candidate for contact lenses?
​
We urge you to come to see us. Lens technology continues to evolve. What was not possible 5, 10, 20 years ago is highly possible now. Our optometrists take pride in fitting toric, multifocal, hybrid, RGP, and scleral contact lenses that cover the majority of visual conditions that glasses or conventional contact lenses were not able to correct.
​
Contact Lens Fittings
Hello glasses-free selfies.
​
Everyone’s eyes are different, so it makes sense that there is a wide array of contact lens fits and brands available. Contact lens exams and fittings ensure that we find the right contact lens to fit with your lifestyle. For those who already wear contact lenses, our optometrists always recommend the latest in technology so you're wearing the most breathable and moist lenses. Let's give a little loving to our eyes, please.
​
Are you curious about contact lenses?
Cataract and Laser Surgery Consultation
Do you want to ditch your glasses? Is your vision feeling foggy?
​
Laser and cataract surgery are safe, common procedures that correct myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and cataracts. They give you the freedom from contact lenses and glasses that you crave.
We offer recommendations at the end of our eye exam. We examine your eyes, review your options, and offer recommendations on ophthalmology centres that we partner and trust.
We offer post-surgical care to make sure your eyes recover well.
Dry Eye Assessment and Treatment
Say goodbye to dry, itchy, red eyes at Respect Eyecare.
​
Let's face it, we live in one of the driest places in the world. This is compounded by digital device use, oral medications, hydration, caffeine intake (who likes their coffee?) and natural ageing.
We now know that dry eye is a disease and have figured out in-office and at-home therapy to treat it beyond simply relying on generic artificial tears at your local pharmacist.
Please do not tell us you use Visine!
​
Do you suffer from dry eyes?
Glaucoma Management
We believe in a proactive approach when it comes to taking care of our people's eye disease.
We use the latest microscopic, 3D, cross-sectional retinal imaging instruments to accurately monitor your optic nerve and co-manage with all of the ophthalmologists in Calgary.
​
Your vision is your most valuable asset. Don’t put it at risk.
​
Come see us for your next eye exam.
Myopia Control
We are amazed at the number of times we meet a child wearing glasses and have never been recommended options to proactively manage their nearsightedness.
There's no cure for myopia, but there sure are many therapies available to slow the change. including prescription eye drops, glasses, and contact lenses.
