What we do.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetic patients should have their eyes examined every 6-12 months depending on when they were first diagnosed and how well-controlled their blood sugar is. A dilated fundus exam would allow us to thoroughly evaluate if the eyes are affected by diabetes in any way and communicate that back to your primary care physician, nurse practitioner or endocrinologist.


Children/ Pediatric Eye Exams

Did you know that the majority of learning is achieved through vision? For this reason, it’s critical to make sure your child gets regular eye exams. At Acuity Vision Care, kids under the age of 19 are absolutely free! (Manitoba Health picks up the tab). Doctors' offices can often be intimidating for little ones. Have your child come in today for a stress free exam with our kid friendly doctors.


Eye Health Exams

We use the latest diagnostic technologies like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Icare Tonometry (no more air puff!) Being one of the few residency-trained optometrists in Manitoba, Drs Lee and Tan have expertise in diagnosing and managing many eye diseases including but not limited to : cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Myopia Management/Control

Myopia (commonly known as nearsightedness) is where light focuses too close in the eye. This means people who are nearsighted can see great up close but cannot see as well far away. Unfortunately, the prevalence of myopia is increasing at an alarming rate-especially among children of asian ethnicity 1. Not only that, those who already have myopia are worsening at an increasing rate. The good news is that there is now something we can do. Eye drops (Atropine) and special glasses or contact lenses have been shown in studies to slow the rate of progression of myopia.

If your child is myopic and getting worse every year, come visit us at Acuity Vision Care and see if myopia control is right for them.
