3 Helpful Tips For Finding The Right Optometrist

Are you looking for an eye doctor in NW Calgary? From emergency eye care to eye exams, our family optometrists have the experience, equipment, and knowledge to meet all your eye health needs.


Have you neglected your regular eye exams because you have clear vision? Contrary to popular opinion, having good vision doesn’t necessarily mean your eyes are healthy. In fact, some of the most dangerous vision conditions are asymptomatic in their early stages.

That’s why our NW Calgary eye doctors recommend that adults have routine eye exams as this will allow your optometrist to:

  • Diagnose any visual or medical conditions early on
  • Ensure the immediate management of vision problems
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Lower your health care costs
  • Help you achieve clear and comfortable vision

3 Tips For Finding The Right Family Optometrist For Your Needs

Whether you are already wearing contact lenses or eyeglasses, or you are experiencing changes in your vision for the first time, the best place to start is by finding a highly qualified eye doctor who will be able to provide you with the services you require.

To begin, here are 3 helpful tips on how to find the right Calgary eye doctor for your needs:

1. Get Recommendations

Once you’ve decided that you need care from an optometrist, the first step to finding the right one is by getting referrals. This will ensure that you’ll find an eye doctor who will give you the very best services. Make sure to get recommendations from:

  • Family members
  • Friends and co-workers
  • Professional organizations
  • Other medical professionals, such as your primary care physician

Getting a first-hand opinion about the eye doctor you are considering is a sure-fire way to ensure you’ll receive the quality care you deserve.

2. Figure Out What You Need

Everyone’s vision needs are different, so before you begin working with an eye doctor, you must determine if they have the adequate background and training to be able to meet those needs. At Blink Eyewear, our team of family optometrists are skilled and knowledgeable about the management and treatment of a range of ocular conditions, including:

If you are experiencing a particular problem that you want to take corrective action on, then you must find an optometrist who has specialized training dealing with that specific condition.

3. Check The Eye Doctor’s Credentials

It’s important to do your research when you’re looking for an eye doctor. Search for someone who is board-certified and who has credentials that are up to date. You might also want to consider choosing an optometrist who actively participates in research and education conferences.

This dedication to lifelong learning will ensure that the eye doctor is keeping up with current industry trends and best practices, which means that they’ll be able to give you the most advanced treatment possible.
