“Some people don’t even know they have dry eye until it’s already caused damage. That’s why we check.” – Dr. Theo Buzea
At Eye Check Calgary, we don’t rely on guesswork or generic drops. Our dry eye assessments identify the true cause, whether it’s meibomian gland dysfunction, tear evaporation, or inflammation, so we can recommend targeted solutions that actually work. Every exam includes advanced imaging, pressure testing, and a close look at your tear film and eyelid health. If your symptoms are more than mild irritation, we’ll guide you through a personalized plan that prioritizes lasting relief.

Dry Eye Exams In Calgary For Accurate Diagnosis And Real Relief
At Eye Check Calgary, every dry eye assessment starts with understanding who you are. We take time to ask the right questions: about your lifestyle, screen time, work environment, medications, sleep quality, and systemic health, because dry eye rarely has a single cause. Then we move into the diagnostic portion of the visit, using slit-lamp biomicroscopy to examine your tear film, eyelid margins, and the front of the eye for signs of inflammation, redness, or debris.
We also evaluate the health and function of your meibomian glands, which play a crucial role in stabilizing your tears and preventing evaporation. When indicated, we may recommend meibography (a scan of the oil glands) or tear break-up time testing to further refine your diagnosis. But we don’t run tests just for the sake of it; everything we do is to create a treatment plan that works for your eyes, your life, and your budget.
Not all dry eyes are the same — and that’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. At Eye Check Calgary, we go beyond surface checks to uncover the true cause, whether it’s gland dysfunction, tear evaporation, inflammation, or something else entirely. With the right diagnosis comes the right treatment, so you can finally move toward lasting relief.
Here’s how our in-depth dry eye assessments give you answers that matter:

At Eye Check Calgary, we treat every exam as an opportunity to uncover more than just vision issues. With advanced technology and a proactive mindset, we help you stay ahead of preventable problems and live with greater confidence in your care.
We use 3D OCT scans and fundus photography for all ages—not just when there's a problem. This helps us detect issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and optic nerve inflammation early.
All seniors receive visual field testing, helping us detect past strokes or neurological issues that may have gone unnoticed. This proactive approach allows us to coordinate timely care with your family doctor or specialists if needed.
Children often can’t describe their vision issues. That’s why we give them the same detailed exams as adults, helping catch problems before they affect learning and development.
When a patient’s scan shows a serious concern—like papilledema or signs of a retinal detachment—we act fast. We've coordinated emergency care, even calling ambulances when needed.
Our team has the freedom to go above and beyond. If someone’s in crisis or can’t afford care, we make it right—because kindness should never come with a price tag.
Eye Check Calgary was founded based on a simple principle: better exams lead to better care. We don’t rush, we don’t upsell, and we don’t brush things off. Whether you’re dealing with frustrating symptoms or just want peace of mind, we’re here to figure it out with you.
Whether your eyes feel irritated, blurry, or just ‘off,’ we’ll help you figure out what’s wrong, and how to fix it. Book your dry eye exam today and get answers that actually lead to relief.
Not necessarily. Many cases are due to poor tear quality, rapid evaporation, or blocked oil glands, not just low tear volume.
We combine detailed case history, lifestyle evaluation, slit-lamp exams, gland imaging (meibography), and tear film analysis to pinpoint the type and severity of your dry eye condition.
If you experience burning, itching, watering, blurry vision, or a gritty feeling in your eyes, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments, it’s time to book an assessment.
