Rely on Lakeland Family Eyecare for Your Eye Emergency Needs
An eye injury and emergency can be scary, and it can be difficult to know what to do. If you or a loved one experiences an eye injury, please call us immediately. We can diagnose and treat many eye-related emergencies much quicker and more accurately than in the emergency room.
We have invested in innovative equipment that provides us with an in-depth analysis of your eyes. It allows us to examine your eyes’ surface and digitally scan the inside of the eye for abnormalities or changes. With this wealth of information, we can assess and treat your eyes.
Emergency Eye Care Is Covered
An emergency visit and treatment with our optometrist is free for any Albertan. It is covered under AHCIP (Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan).
We Can Accommodate Most Eye Emergencies
We are equipped to diagnose and treat a myriad of eye emergencies, including:
- Severe eye allergies
- Dislodged contact lenses
- Red or painful eyes
- Scratched eyes
- Eye trauma
- Foreign materials stuck in the eyes
- Eye infections, like pink eye/red eye (conjunctivitis)
- Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
- Flashes of light
- Eye floaters
- Generally irritated eyes
- Dry eyes
- Excessive tearing
Time Is of the Essence: Contact Us for Emergency Eye Care
If you suspect you have an eye emergency, let us know immediately. Certain infections are highly contagious, and many eye diseases and injuries require immediate treatment to prevent long-term consequences.
When you call to book your eye exam, let us know your symptoms. We will work to accommodate you as quickly as we can.

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 587-840-7133 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.
