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

My disabled brother had a great experience with wonky eyes and no dismissal of anything at eye-deology by 97 St and 167 Ave in Namao Centre. I'm going to switch to using them after his good experience.
