On the corner of Main & 52nd St, across from Westline Autowash.

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. You are also welcome to contact your local MLA to voice any concerns you may have with these changes in coverage. 

Thank you for your understanding and your continued support.
