The Alberta Association of Optometrists’ website has a tool and information that could assist your patients:
- Find a nearby optometrist for urgent/medically necessary eye care
- Learn about recommendations for different ages to help catch vision problems so there is a higher chance of correction
- Understand Alberta Health Care coverage by age group
The find an optometrist tool can be searched by address or postal code, practice, optometrist, or language. Its results show locations and contact information.
The coverage guidance is all on one web page, and so are their informational brochures with recommendations and more that are otherwise spread across the website.
Free-of-charge printed brochures are available for health professionals and community organizations through the association (email [email protected] or call 780.540.9166).
