Important Information for Walk-in Patients

Due to the nature of eye care, we cannot guarantee immediate accommodation for every walk-in patient, especially if our schedules are full from earlier walk-ins. We must triage each appointment based on the severity of symptoms and give priority to time-sensitive emergencies. If you would like to inquire on wait times for an appointment please call or text us directly at 780-464-4575.

  • Retinal Detachments: Symptoms include flashes of light, floaters, or a shadow over part of your vision.
  • Severe Eye Infections: Characterized by intense pain, redness, discharge, and vision changes.
  • Acute Glaucoma: Sudden onset of severe eye pain, headache, nausea, and blurred vision.
  • Chemical Burns: Exposure to harmful chemicals that cause immediate pain, redness, and vision issues.
