If you’ve noticed your child holding their tablet closer or struggling to see the board at school, it might be more than just "nearsightedness."

We’re seeing a major rise in pediatric myopia in our community. The good news? We have the technology to slow it down! From specialized overnight lenses (Ortho-K) to medicated drops, our team at Ambleside Family Optometry is helping YEG kids keep their vision clear for life.

Check out our new blog post to see which treatment is right for your family!

As school ends and summer break begins, it is natural for screen time to increase.

However, extended periods of near-work on tablets and phones can put significant strain on developing eyes. At Ambleside Family Optometry, we recommend a modified version of the 20-20-20 rule to keep vision health a priority during the holidays.

Instead of just looking away for 20 seconds, we suggest that for every 20 minutes of digital use, children spend 20 minutes playing outside. The natural light found in our Southwest Edmonton parks is a proven factor in supporting healthy eye growth!

“I think my vision is fine” is something we hear a lot right before a patient realizes how much clearer the world can actually look.

Your eyes often give you subtle clues when they are struggling to keep up. Whether it is a dull headache after a long day of screen time or a little extra squinting to read the street signs on Ellerslie Road, these small symptoms are worth paying attention to.

An eye exam at Ambleside Family Optometry is about much more than just a new prescription. It is a comprehensive health check to ensure your eyes are functioning at their best and staying healthy for the long term.

If any of these signs feel a little too familiar, it is time to put yourself back on the calendar.

When you think of an eye exam, you likely imagine the process of finding a new glasses prescription. But for those with nearsightedness, a standard check only scratches the surface.

At Ambleside Family Optometry, a myopia focused exam is a comprehensive medical evaluation. We look beyond immediate clarity to focus on the long term structural health of your eyes. Because a myopic eye is physically longer, it requires specialized tracking to protect the retina and optic nerve.

Our latest blog explores what happens during this specialized assessment. Learn how we use advanced diagnostic tools to move from reactive care to proactive vision management for both children and adults.

For many families in Southwest Edmonton, an annual eye exam often means leaving with thicker lenses. But what if you could actually slow that process down?

At Ambleside Family Optometry, we believe nearsightedness should not be an inevitable decline. Modern eye care has shifted from simply correcting blurred vision to actively intervening in how the eye grows.

Our latest guide explores the clinical treatments and lifestyle changes that can help stabilize your vision and protect your long-term eye health. From specialized "smart" lenses to simple daily habits, find out how we can help keep your sight and your child’s sight within a safer range.
