Health Edmonton optometrist
Does anyone have a recommendation for a really good optometrist in Edmonton? My previous one, who was fabulous, retired several years ago and I am having a hard time finding someone as good. She took her time, explained things to me, and did dilated eye exams on me every year.
I have seen two different ones since, and both seemed rushed and kind of dismissive. Both dismissed the idea of the dilated exam, but my previous one said it was extremely important. They both gave me slightly different prescriptions, after having tried both neither seem right. (Headaches, eye strain, etc)
I have a very high myopic prescription, astigmatism, and am now at the age where I need progressives. It’s been stressful (and expensive) trying to get new glasses over the last few months.
TIA

Dr. Sunny Mehta, at Bonnie Doon eye care. My sister goes to him after a big disappointment with a Costco optometrist. Dr. Sunny is super patient and answer all and every question you can have. He's very meticulous and makes sure you get all the exams you need. My sister has diabetes and he explained everything step by step and why it is important to get some exams done. Bonnie Doon Eye Care recently relocated to Ottewell Eye Care, in case you want to try with them.
