Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between an optometrist in Edmonton and an optometrist in other cities?

Optometrists in different cities might offer slightly different services or have different areas of expertise. However, for people who live in Edmonton, optometrists in Edmonton should offer similar qualifications and services as optometrists in other cities.

In Alberta, optometrists are highly trained medical professionals who are licensed and regulated by the Alberta College of Optometrists. To become a licensed optometrist in Alberta, one must complete a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited institution, which typically takes four years of post-secondary education. Additionally, optometrists in Alberta must complete a period of supervised practice before being granted a license to practice independently. Once licensed, optometrists are qualified to provide a wide range of vision and eye care services, including comprehensive eye exams, treatment of eye diseases and conditions, and prescription of corrective lenses. At Louie Eyecare Centre, our optometrists are highly trained and committed to providing personalized, high-quality eye care to each of our patients.
