Glaucoma Testing & Management

Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness in Canada. Glaucoma does not exhibit symptoms in its early stages, making it difficult to catch without an eye exam. Many glaucoma patients don’t realize something is wrong until they have already experienced permanent peripheral vision loss.

For more information about glaucoma, including glaucoma testing, and management strategies, please visit our Glaucoma Testing & Management page.

Flashes & Floaters

Most floaters are harmless, but not always. If you experience a sudden increase in floaters, accompanied by flashes of light, you may be experiencing a retinal tear or retinal detachment.

Retinal tears and retinal detachments can lead to permanent vision loss, or even blindness, if they are not treated quickly.

If you are experiencing a sudden onset of flashes and/or floaters, please call Warman Eyecare right away at (306) 700-3474 during office hours or (306) 500-6062 after hours, or proceed to your nearest emergency room.

Dry Eye Treatment

Dry, irritated eyes are uncomfortable, but relief is available at Warman Eyecare.

Digital Eye Strain

When we spend long periods of time staring at our computer screens, tablets, and smartphones, it puts a lot of strain on our eyes. Prolonged digital device use also causes us to blink less, which can make our eyes dry and irritated. This leads to digital eye strain, which can cause headaches and impact our productivity.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes impacts our bodies in many ways and can affect our vision and eye health.

Individuals with diabetes are more likely to develop a variety of eye diseases and conditions, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts. They may also develop a serious condition called diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss, and even blindness, if left untreated.

To help you safeguard your vision and eye health, Warman Eyecare offers eye exams specially tailored to the needs of patients with diabetes. For more information about our diabetic eye exams, please visit our Diabetic Eye Exams page.

Conjunctivitis

There are three main types of conjunctivitis: allergic, bacterial, and viral. Though all three may have similar symptoms, they have different root causes and require different treatment approaches.

If you suspect you have conjunctivitis, you should visit your optometrist as soon as possible for treatment, if indicated. Depending on the cause, strain you may be contagious.

Cataract Exam & Management

Cataracts are a normal part of the ageing process, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing that can be done about them. Cataract surgery is a quick procedure that can help improve your vision and your quality of life.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (also called AMD), is a disease that affects the central vision, and mostly arises in individuals over the age of 60. AMD may not show symptoms in its early stages, which means that some patients may not realize they have AMD until they begin to experience permanent vision loss.

The best way to safeguard your vision is to undergo regular eye exams.
