Eye Physicians & Surgeons

Covid-19 Update

It has been over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and our Albertan Ophthalmologists are implementing systematic and evidence-based measures to ensure the safety of our patients, while maintaining the highest level of eye care. Our hospital-based Ophthalmology sites continue to run 365 days a year, providing emergency Ophthalmic clinical and surgical care. Our staff are working diligently to keep our patients safe, keeping in mind the necessity of our examinations for patients with eye disease. This includes added protectant guards for our slit lamps to prevent physician-patient infection transmission, modified clinical spaces to direct patient traffic more efficiently, and screening phone calls prior to in-person appointments. While navigating the difficulties we face in this global pandemic, our ophthalmologists are still providing necessary preventative and therapeutic surgical eye care, including cataracts, retinal surgery, strabismus surgery, glaucoma surgery, oculoplastics and orbital surgery, and more. EPSAA is committed to keeping Albertans up to date on how Ophthalmology practice is changing over the upcoming months.
