Hello Uptowne Eyecare Friends and Family, The Alberta Government announced reductions to Eye Care Coverage January 2025....

Hello Uptowne Eyecare Friends and Family,

The Alberta Government announced reductions to Eye Care Coverage January 2025. They have reduced or eliminated funding for many optometric services, effective Feb 1, 2025. Some coverage has been eliminated others reduced by as much as 32% from 2017.

At Uptowne Eyecare we have been proud to offer the highest quality eye care covered by Alberta Health Care. Unfortunately, these cuts affect seniors and children, as well as patients who have macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes and more. Up to now, with careful budgeting we have been able to cover our costs using Alberta Health Care, without charging a co-pay.
Optometrists have not received any funding increase from the government since 2017, despite inflation of over 21% during this
period.

What does this mean for our wonderful patients?
-Patients age 65+ will have $45 co-pay
-Partial eye exams may have an additional co-pay, as funding was eliminated
-Medically necessary imaging more than once a year has been eliminated. There will be fees ranging from $20-$65 for testing required to monitor glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, dry eye, iritis and more.

Fortunately medical visits for any reason, including sudden vision loss, eye infections, red eyes, dilated fundus examinations, eye injuries, foreign body removal, pre-operative and post-operative care will mostly be covered by Alberta Health Care.

Why are we charging these extra fees?
At Uptowne Eyecare we believe in providing the highest standard of care to our patients. The burden of additional fees across our patient base allows us to keep the costs as low as possible, while continuing to strive for top quality technology and customer service. Our patients deserve nothing less than the best to prevent, monitor and treat many eye conditions.

Thank-you for your continued support as we navigate these changes. We feel equally upset about the lack of support for eye care as our patients. We are deeply concerned about these changes affecting the frequency, and quality of care the citizens of Alberta will receive. We encourage you to contact your MLA to discuss these changes as they are unfortunately beyond our control.

Thank-you for trusting us with your sight,

XO

About us:

Uptowne Eyecare was established December 2016 by Dr. Allison Adema. Dr. Adema was born and raised in Olds. She attended Trinity Western University for a Bachelor of Science degree, and the University of Waterloo for her Doctor of Optometry Degree. Dr. Adema and husband Jeff started a family in 2008, and returned to Olds in 2009. They knew this community was where they wanted to plant roots and raise their children.

Dr. Adema practices general optometry, but has special interest in dry eye, glaucoma, specialty contact lenses, pediatrics and vision therapy. She has trained in Utah under a glaucoma specialist, and has continued to upgrade her medical knowledge by expanding her scope of practice to prescribe oral mediations. As a Doctor of Optometry she is able to diagnose, and manage eye disease, as well as take care of you glasses and contact lens needs. An optometrist will also measure your binocular vision, to make sure you have clear, comfortable, binocular vision.

Shannon O’Brien is a licensed optician in the province of Alberta. She moved from Ontario in 2013, and has worked with Dr. Adema since. She is the manager at Uptowne Eyecare. She loves helping patients find the ideal style, fit and function. She is an expert at choosing lens design to maximize your vision. A skilled optician can make or break your vision experience, and Shannon is one of the best. You’re in good hands!

We are accepting new patients, so feel free to come in, or give us a call!
