Trusted Calgary Optometrists for Thorough, Personalized Eye Exams
Dr. Theo Buzea’s journey into optometry started with curiosity. As a teenager, he was fascinated by how little most people thought about their vision, himself included. That curiosity led him to shadow local optometrists, where he realized this field wasn’t just about prescriptions or lenses; it was about uncovering what’s often invisible and improving people’s lives in ways they didn’t expect.
From the very beginning, Dr. Buzea saw eye care as a calling. He believes eye exams are one of the few healthcare moments where people feel well, not sick, and that gives optometrists a powerful chance to detect silent issues early. Whether it’s catching signs of diabetes, glaucoma, or neurological conditions, he treats every appointment as an opportunity to protect more than just vision.
After working in clinics across Alberta, Dr. Buzea opened Eye Check Calgary with one goal: to make great care accessible without compromising on quality. He built the clinic around hospital-grade technology, longer appointment times, and the belief that patients deserve more than just a quick prescription; they deserve answers, understanding, and a plan they can trust.
His approach is simple but rare: take the time, explain the why, and never oversell. Whether it’s a child who’s never had an exam, a senior managing complex conditions, or someone just looking for clarity, Dr. Buzea brings purpose to every visit, and builds lasting trust through honesty, empathy, and deep clinical care.
At Eye Check Calgary, we treat every exam as an opportunity to uncover more than just vision issues. With advanced technology and a proactive mindset, we help you stay ahead of preventable problems and live with greater confidence in your care.
We use 3D OCT scans and fundus photography for all ages—not just when there's a problem. This helps us detect issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and optic nerve inflammation early.
All seniors receive visual field testing, helping us detect past strokes or neurological issues that may have gone unnoticed. This proactive approach allows us to coordinate timely care with your family doctor or specialists if needed.
Children often can’t describe their vision issues. That’s why we give them the same detailed exams as adults, helping catch problems before they affect learning and development.
When a patient’s scan shows a serious concern—like papilledema or signs of a retinal detachment—we act fast. We've coordinated emergency care, even calling ambulances when needed.
Our team has the freedom to go above and beyond. If someone’s in crisis or can’t afford care, we make it right—because kindness should never come with a price tag.
At Eye Check Calgary, we go beyond the basics to deliver truly meaningful eye care. Whether you're coming in for your child’s first exam, managing a chronic condition, or simply prioritizing your vision, you’ll get proactive, compassionate care every step of the way. We believe everyone deserves to be seen and supported.
