Our Technology
At Mission Eye Care, we employ the latest in cutting edge eye care tech. Take a look at just a few of our diagnostic and treatment technologies below. We constantly reinvest in equipment to provide the highest level of care possible. Because of this, we are able to detect and treat eye conditions that were either undiagnosed, or untreatable in the past. We are also the only non-university accredited residency teaching site for corneal disease and we also assist in the training of medical students and family medicine residents from both the UofC and UofA.
This retinal imaging technology is similar to an MRI, allowing a cross section of the retina to be viewed. This imaging is vital for early detection of macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic macular edema, and other diseases. We include a baseline OCT for all new patients and as needed thereafter.
This retinal imaging technology allows us to obtain a 3D image of the back of the eye. This allows us to see a larger area of the retina without the need to dilate your pupils. Not only is it more comfortable, but we can detect things like retinal tears, detachments, diabetic changes and even tumours before they are too late to treat. We include an optomap with every routine eye examination.
This technology allows us to measure the length of the eyeball with an accuracy of 0.01mm. This is critical to monitor the effectiveness of myopia control strategies. We perform this measurement as a baseline on children who are getting progressively more nearsighted and are being treated at our myopia control clinic. We perform this at regular intervals and modify treatment as needed to slow the elongation of the eye and reduce the risk of sight threatening diseases later in life.
This cutting edge tech uses sensors and cameras to precisely measure deviations in eye alignment for distance and reading. Many eye strain symptoms including headaches, focusing trouble, dryness, eye fatigue and more are related to eye misalignment. There are now eyeglass lenses that can compensate for misalignments to allow for a more comfortable eye posture and reduce or eliminate these symptoms. We include this baseline testing for all new patients.
We are one of the few clinics in Canada with the technology to precisely map the shape of the eye to design custom contact lenses. These scleral lenses can restore clear vision to those with irregular corneas. These include patients with keratoconus, ectasia from failed refractive surgery, corneal transplant, and even those with healthy eyes looking for shaper vision and relief from dry eyes. This technology is also used to design custom multifocal contacts.
This technology allows us to measure “higher order aberrations” or distortions in the eye. By correcting for these distortions, we can create fully customized scleral contact lenses that give clearer, sharper vision than conventional scleral lenses. We are the only clinic in Alberta with this technology, again allowing us to provide the highest level of vision clarity for our patients.
This measuring device uses 6 cameras and AI tech to map 192 facial landmarks and provide precise measurements of how a frame sits on your face. This allows for the design of lenses that are then custom made to give you the clearest vision and widest fields of view possible. You can also see how you look in a frame from various angles and share your photos with friends and family for their opinions!
