Mission
We are passionate about your eyes, and about building long-lasting relationships. Our goal is to ensure your eyes remain healthy throughout your life. We are all about service, love, kindness and a belief in strong community. Through our holistic approach to caring for you and our dedication to learning, we pioneer carefully researched new treatments, technology, and products to help ensure eye health.

Children’s Eye Exams

Our goal at Eyedeology is to ensure your child’s eyes remain healthy throughout life. We begin eye examinations with infants at the age of six months and annually thereafter. Early detection of eye problems is key to successfully preventing vision loss, and begins with an annual eye exam.

 

Coverage
Alberta Health offers partial coverage for eye examinations for patients aged 18 and under, as well as those 65 and older.

Did you know?

One in four children starting kindergarten this year may experience learning difficulties because they cannot see properly. Vision screening performed by your family physician or school nurse is not the same as an eye exam done by an Optometrist. Without a proper eye exam, a child may have difficulty knowing whether he or she is experiencing vision problems.

Common risk factors for vision problems include:

  • premature birth,
  • dry eye condition,
  • developmental delays,
  • complications during pregnancy or delivery,
  • turned or crossed eyes,
  • family history of eye disease and glasses wear
  • eye injury,
  • medical conditions
  • Increased screen time and less time spent outdoors

During your child’s eye exam, our Optometrist will review the following with you:

  • a thorough ocular and medical history,
  • assessment of how well the eyes work together,  eye focusing, & eye tracking,
  • an eyeglass prescription when required (some children may require a dilated exam to verify their prescription),
  • evaluation of eye health for common eye diseases as well as an indication of overall health,
  • 200° wide-field digital retinal photography using Optomap Technology (after the age of 8),
  • a personalized consultation with our eye doctors to discuss their results, preventative measures and vision solutions (glasses, contact lenses, Myopia control, vision therapy).

Please bring the following to your appointment:

  • your child’s current glasses, 
  • sunglasses, 
  • contact lens and solution information, 
  • a list of current medications and vitamins.

Myopia Control

Myopia is fast becoming an epidemic. Are you concerned about the rapid progression of your child’s or your own nearsightedness, or Myopia? We offer treatment options to slow down the progression of Myopia, avoiding thicker glasses and reducing the risk of blindness and visual impairment.

Advanced Myopia Control for Children

Recent randomized controlled clinical trial results presented at the ARVO 2026 Annual Meeting showed promising results for children aged 4–12. Among the 196 children who completed the study, those wearing MiYOSMART iQ showed no average myopia progression after 12 months. The study also found that excessive axial eye growth was reduced to levels below or comparable to those seen in children without refractive errors.

Designed to Help Control Myopia Progression

Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness, can progress during childhood as the eye grows excessively. Managing myopia earlier in life may help reduce the impact of continued progression and the associated risks of high myopia later in life.

MiYOSMART iQ builds on the established D.I.M.S. Technology used in MiYOSMART lenses and introduces a Triple Enhanced Design (TED). This design incorporates three key enhancements:

  1. Defocus Segments Closer to the Center: The segments are positioned closer to the geometric center of the lens to provide continued exposure to myopic defocus across the near-peripheral retina.
  2. Higher Defocus Power: The lens provides a stronger myopic defocus signal intended to support myopia control.
  3. Extended Treatment Zone: A larger treatment area provides broader coverage of the child’s peripheral visual field, including when larger frames are used.

Clinical Results Across Different Age Groups

The clinical trial included children between 4 and 12 years of age, with results demonstrating myopia-control efficacy across the age groups studied.

For children aged 4–6 years, MiYOSMART iQ demonstrated 65% efficacy in spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) and 44% efficacy in axial length over 12 months. For children aged 7–12 years, the lens demonstrated over 100% efficacy in SER and 94% efficacy in axial length during the same period.

The study also reported a high level of compliance with daily, all-day wear among children across the age groups studied.

Built on Established D.I.M.S. Technology

MiYOSMART iQ represents an evolution of MiYOSMART, a myopia-control lens technology backed by more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications. The updated lens design builds on research into how the eye responds to myopic defocus and focuses on delivering a stronger and more consistently positioned defocus signal.

Since its launch in 2018, more than 15 million MiYOSMART spectacle lenses have been purchased by parents across more than 50 countries worldwide.

Supporting Earlier Myopia Management

The clinical findings for MiYOSMART iQ include children as young as four years old, representing an important development in spectacle-lens-based myopia control. Early-onset myopia can progress during a critical period of childhood eye development, making appropriate management an important consideration for children with progressive myopia. MiYOSMART iQ provides an advanced spectacle-lens option for children who require myopia management. An eye care professional can assess your child’s vision and determine whether this type of lens is appropriate for their individual needs.
