As you may already be aware, Alberta Health Services has recently cut back coverage on optometry services. These changes were unexpected. We are extremely disappointed with their decision and how they handled bringing about this change.
To maintain the high quality of care that you have come to expect at our clinic, there will now be a fee for most eyecare services that were previously fully covered by AHS. If you would like to know how this affects you, please call our clinic at 780-826-4437 and one of our team members would be happy to assist you.
