retinal health monitoring for various systemic conditions. Children are recommended to have
their
first eye exam at 6-9 months of age! Children do not need to be able to read to have a
comprehensive
vision check. Yearly eye exams are recommended for all school age children, as well as seniors.
Alberta Health Care covers the cost of routine eye exams for all children 18 and younger, and
adults
65 or older. Medically necessary eye examinations for conditions like eye infections or
injuries, as
well as diabetic ocular health assessments are also covered by Alberta Health Care for all
Albertans.
We are happy to directly bill to your insurance company if it is allowed under your policy. As
all
insurance plans are different, please inquire with one of our front desk staff prior to your

Vision Therapy
Vision therapy is a customized regimen of individualized activities and exercises made
to
retrain the brain and eyes to work together as a team and improve visual functioning.
The
aim is to enhance vision processing abilities, such as eye tracking, focusing and
eye-teaming abilities as well as hand-eye coordination and processing speed.
The ability of the eyes and brain to work together has a significant impact on the
learning
process in both children and adults. Children rely on this brain-eye interaction to
succeed
in reaching their full potential.
The principle behind vision therapy and how it can help improve an individual’s visual
skills is the fact that vision is LEARNED. From the time babies are born they are
learning
to ‘do vision’ by interacting with their environment. Although most of this learning
occurs
in early childhood, the brain remains flexible and dynamic even into adulthood. This is
known as neuroplasticity.
Vision therapy consists of a sequence of activities and exercises using lenses, prisms,
filters occluders and many other tools that aim to improve visual skills and processing.
The
process includes weekly in-office training sessions of 45-60 minute duration
supplemented by
about 15 minutes of assigned daily activities to be practiced at home. The therapy
program
can last from 3 months and up to 18 months depending on the severity of the diagnosis
and
patient compliance.
Vision therapy can benefit patients of all ages with conditions and symptoms related to:
Convergence Insufficiency
Learning-Related Vision Problems (such as eye tracking, eye focusing, eye teaming
and
visual perceptual delays)
Amblyopia (‘lazy eye’)
Strabismus (crossed eyes or eyes that turn outwards)
Eye-Tracking Disorders
Eye-Focusing Disorders
Traumatic Brain Injuries
It was previously thought that some developmental eye problems such as amblyopia/lazy eye
could not be treated after early childhood but new research suggests that adults can
also
benefit from therapy programs aimed at improving eye-teaming abilities. Your brain
remains
flexible throughout life!
20/20 vision is only one of the many visual skills that is important to function
efficiently
in school and sports! Children with reduced visual skills have to work much harder than
their peers to try to keep up in the classroom. They may also have difficulty
concentrating
throughout the day.
The first step to determine whether vision therapy would be helpful for you or your
child is
to schedule a comprehensive eye examination with Dr. Wagner. It is very important that
we
rule out any ocular health problems that may be affecting visual function prior to
proceeding with a vision therapy program. Following the initial exam a more thorough
functional vision assessment may be recommended. Once we have identified any problem
areas
within the visual system that could be interfering with learning or reading we can
develop a
vision therapy program that is individually tailored to the patient’s needs.
Please feel free to book and appointment or reach out to us to learn more!
Vision therapy is a service that is not covered by Alberta Health Care. Comprehensive eye
examinations to assess eye health, the need for glasses, and to determine if further work up
is
needed are covered by Alberta Health Care until children reach the age of 19. If further
evaluations are necessary in form of a Functional Vision Exam or Vision Therapy these
services
are paid privately and some portion may be reimbursable by your private health insurance.
Please
check with your private health insurance to see if Optometric Vision Therapy is covered. We
are
happy to discuss our fees with you at the time of your initial eye examination.
If your child is struggling in school with reading, writing or attention please make sure a
comprehensive vision exam is done to rule out a vision related learning problem!
Laser Surgery Consultations
Refractive surgery evaluations and referrals are one of the many services that our doctors are
trained to provide at For Sight Vision Centre. If you are tired of having to wear glasses or
contact
lenses to see please book and appointment to see if refractive surgery is a good option for you.
We
have many patients who have received LASIK, PRK, Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), and Refractive
Lens Exchange (RLE) and are happily seeing now without glasses! Following surgery, we are happy
to
co-manage post-operative care with your surgeon.
Infant and Children’s Eye Exams
Children are recommended to have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age!
It
is recommended that they have at least one eye exam again between the ages 2-5, and then
annually once they start school.
If you have a concern or are noticing a problem with your baby or child’s eyes we are
happy
to see them to assess your concerns at any age.
The eye chart is only one of many tools we use to assess how an individual sees. An
infant
and young toddler’s eye examination involves checking to see if they eyes are healthy,
eye
movements and alignment of the eyes is developing properly, the eyes are focusing
together,
and their depth perception/eye-hand coordination is appropriate for their age. These
things
can all be assessed without the child needing to be able to talk, all we require is the
child to be awake and alert!
Children use their eyes to learn!
Once in school, it is recommended your child have an annual comprehensive eye exam. A
school-age child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play and they need
good visual skills to see and understand clearly.
One-in-four school age children has a vision problem and approximately 60% of children
experiencing reading difficulties have an undiagnosed or untreated vision problem.
Undetected and untreated vision problems can elicit some of the same signs and symptoms that
are commonly attributed to other development issues, such as ADHD, dyslexia and speech
problems.
Your child may not realize they have a vision problem as they may simply assume everyone sees
the way they do. And, it’s not uncommon for parents to believe they would know if their
child has a vision problem, because these issues can be hard to spot particularly if there
is a problem in only one of the eyes.
Vision is more than 20/20!
20/20 vision is only one of the many visual skills that is important to function efficiently
in school and sports! Children with reduced visual skills have to work much harder than
their peers to try to keep up in the classroom. They may also have difficulty concentrating
throughout the day.
If your child is struggling in school with reading, writing or attention please make sure a
comprehensive vision exam is done to rule out a vision related learning problem!
How do I know if My Child has a Vision Problem?
Vision problems can often be easy to miss as kids will usually not complain about
symptoms
such as double, blurry or unstable vision. Some very common signs that your child is
having
trouble with their vision are:
Squinting, rubbing the eyes, or excessive blinking
Red, itchy, or watery eyes
Sensitivity to light
Eyestrain or headaches with school work or computer use
Holding books too close or tilting the head to one side when reading
Skipping words or lines when reading
Mixing similar words such as ‘was’ and ‘saw’
Confusing the letters p, d, b, and q
Rubbing their eyes or closing one eye when reading or doing near work
Difficulty with reading comprehension
Blurred or double vision while reading
Avoiding near work
Poor attention span
Fidgeting or squirming in the chair
Performing below their potential
Surgical Co-management
At For Sight Vision Centre we are happy to co-manage your before and after care if you are being
seen by an ophthalmologist and require eye surgery. We communicate regularly with
ophthalmologists
and often see patients before and after their cataract, glaucoma, and retinal surgeries.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye is a condition in which a person does not have enough quality tears to lubricate
and
nourish the eye. The tears are necessary to maintain the health of the front surface of
the
eye and provide clear vision.
People with dry eyes may experience irritated, gritty, scratchy or burning eyes; a
feeling
of something in their eyes; excess watering; redness of the eyes; and blurred vision.
Dry eyes can be caused by many reasons - the most common being and inadequate amount of
tears
and poor quality of tears. The production of tears diminishes with age, due to some
medical
conditions or as a side effect to some medications. Environmental conditions are also a
factor - with exposure to wind and dry climates causing an increase in evaporation of
the
tears. The tears are not just water! They are made up of layers of oil, water and mucus.
Dry
eye can also develop if there is an imbalance in the tear layers; the oily layer helps
to
prevent tears from evaporating and the mucin layer helps to keep the tears spread evenly
over the surface of the eye. Another common cause of dry eyes is failure to blink
regularly,
which often happens when staring at a computer screen for long periods of time.
During a comprehensive eye exam Dr. Wagner will assess your risk of dry eye disease
initially while taking your history. It is important to take into account your general
health, the medications you take and any environmental factors (such as your
occupation).
During the exam your external eye will be examined under magnification to assess your
eyelid
and corneal health, as well as the way you blink. Your tear film will be assessed for
quality and quantity. With this information we can determine if you have dry-eye disease
and
advise you on treatment options.
The treatment for dry eye largely depends on what is causing the lack of or imbalance in
the tears. It is very common to be recommended to use tear-supplement drops, also known
as
artificial tears. There are many types of artificial tears available on the market and
Dr.
Wagner will advise you on which is best for you. An artificial tear that is
non-preserved is
usually best.
Sometimes when the dry eye disease is more severe it requires the prescription of eye
drops to reduce inflammation in the eye and/or increase the amount of tears your eyes
produce.
If the dry eye is caused by an eyelid condition like blepharitis or meibomian gland
dysfunction then other treatments directed at treating these conditions will be
recommended.
These treatments sometimes involve warm compresses or eyelid cleansing wipes.
Please feel free to book and appointment or reach out to us to learn more!
Myopia Control
Myopia is Near-sightedness.
The eyes of a person with myopia are too long - causing the image presented to the
retina to
be blurry/out of focus. Over time, the eyes of a child with myopia become longer, which
causes distant objects to appear more and more out of focus. Myopia is corrected with
glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
Usually myopia will first show up in school-age children. If myopia onset’s at an
earlier
age, there is more risk of the myopia progressing at a faster rate. Having myopia
increases
your chances of having some eye problems later in life such as cataracts, glaucoma,
retinal
detachment and myopic macular degeneration.
Studies are showing that myopia is becoming more common in children. Currently over one
third of the world’s population is myopic and this is projected to increase to 50% by
2050.
A child has a much higher risk of developing myopia if one or both of his/her parents
are
myopic. While there is no proven direct link, research suggests that children who spend
more
time indoors doing near focused activities (i.e. computer work, video games and reading)
have higher rates of myopia than those who spend more time outdoors.
Send those kids outdoors to play! Studies have shown that the onset of myopia is delayed
in
children that spend two hours per day outdoors. This is especially important in the
early
years - before your child has myopia!
Once myopia in children onsets, it typically gets worse every few months until the late
teen or early adult years. This means that it is expected that the blurriness of
distance
vision will become worse and the glasses or contact lens prescription required to make
things clear will need to increase every 6-12 months on average. It is known that with a
higher amount of myopia we have an increased risk of eye disease later on in life.
While myopia cannot be reversed, treatments are available that are aimed at preventing
myopia from getting worse. These treatments include special types of spectacle lenses
(glasses), soft contact lenses, atropine eye drops and ortho-keratology. These
treatments
can continue into the late teen/early adult years. Other treatment involves lifestyle
changes such as increasing the amount of time spent outdoors and limiting screen/reading
time especially in younger children.
The aim of myopia control is to slow down the progression of myopia, not to stop it
completely. Many of the available treatments can slow down the progression by around
60%.
Some treatment options will be better suited to your child than others so it is
recommended
that you have a thorough discussion with Dr. Wagner about which option will work best
for
your family.
Low Vision
Low vision is the term used to describe reduced eyesight that cannot be fully corrected with
eyeglasses, contact lenses or eye surgery. We are happy to examine, counsel and recommend aids
for
patients with low vision. Common causes of low vision are hereditary conditions, ocular diseases
(macular degeneration or glaucoma) or brain injuries (i.e. stroke).
