Advance Eye Care

Advance eye care is a full service eye care  facility, with a team of 6, offering regular eye to emergency services.

Advance has speciality services. They were one of the first in Canada to deal with myopia control. Myopia control deals with near-sighted individuals to help them reach up to 70% improvement and prevent degeneratory issues. On that note, again one of the first in Canada to prevent macular degeneration by up to 55%, the #1 cause of vision loss. This is very important because macular degeneration can't be stopped. The easiest test for macular degeneration is through dark adaptation, that is what calendar to your eye when you go from darkness to bright light. The goal is to buy people time, and Advance is the only clinic in Saskatchewan to have the technology, and they've had it for 5 years.

Most exciting, there is new technology being vetted to restore vision in some cases. It's looking to be in place by the end of the year. There's also gene therapy for some forms of disease.

Fun fact: many times with eye wear like glasses, the high cost you pay is for licensing to brand names. However, lesser known names actually set the fashion trend that the big names copy, plus they have better quality and service if something happens.

Another area of interest is vision therapy. For example, kids who struggle in school sometimes have vision issues with symptoms like fatigue, sore eyes, etc.
