Not all eye conditions come with warning signs, and when they do, the symptoms are often subtle. At EyeCheck Calgary, we encourage patients to book an eye exam as soon as they notice changes in vision, eye comfort, or how their eyes look. Early detection is especially important for conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, myopia, and dry eye. These conditions can worsen silently without regular screening. Located in Southcentre Mall, EyeCheck Calgary offers comprehensive eye exams and advanced diagnostic imaging (OCT) to catch changes early. If you’ve noticed new symptoms or are due for an exam, contact EyeCheck Calgary to protect your vision long-term.
Many people put off eye exams because their vision feels “good enough.” But serious eye conditions don’t always cause symptoms right away. In fact, diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy can progress quietly until vision damage has already occurred.
Even when symptoms do appear, they may seem minor, a bit of blurriness, occasional dryness, or difficulty adjusting to lighting. These early signs are worth paying attention to. Booking a timely eye exam gives optometrists a chance to detect issues before they worsen, offering more treatment options and better outcomes.
At EyeCheck Calgary, we regularly examine patients who didn’t realize anything was wrong until a comprehensive exam revealed otherwise. Here’s what to watch for, and how we can help.
Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma causes increased pressure inside the eye that damages the optic nerve over time. It’s typically painless and symptom-free until later stages.
Early signs may include:
We use OCT imaging to monitor optic nerve health and catch glaucoma early.
Diabetic retinopathy affects people with diabetes and damages the blood vessels at the back of the eye.
Watch for:
Annual eye exams are critical for diabetic patients, even if vision seems stable.
Macular degeneration causes gradual loss of central vision, especially in older adults.
Possible early symptoms:
OCT scans help us detect subtle changes in the macula and begin monitoring or treatment.
Myopia (nearsightedness) often begins in childhood and progresses silently. It increases the risk of serious eye disease later in life.
Early signs:
We offer several options for myopia control to help protect long-term eye health.
Dry eye is increasingly common year-round, but symptoms may be brushed off as fatigue or seasonal allergies.
Symptoms include:
If you’re dealing with frequent irritation, we can assess for dry eye and offer targeted treatment options.
Your eyes won’t always tell you when something’s wrong, but a comprehensive eye exam will. EyeCheck Calgary combines patient-first care with advanced imaging like OCT to detect changes early. Whether you’re noticing new symptoms or just haven’t had an exam in a while, we can help you stay ahead of vision loss and eye disease.
