I went to Dr. Travis for a regular eye exam and to check my prescription. He saw that I suffer from chronic dry eye and suggested an appointment with Megan Dukewich. I was skeptical, but I went. To my surprise, Megan was very patient and informative. Explained a lot of things during the exam and suggested a treatment of specific drops and heat press. I left the appointment feeling informed and cared about. I would recommend an appointment with Megan if you suffer from dry eye. It's worth your time.
I was very thankful to get an appointment in a timely manner to see a doctor about my dry eyes. Dr.Giang examined my eyes and referred me to Megan Dukewich . I had a series of treatments that helped my eyes more than I could have imagined. Megan is amazing! I felt a bit nervous but she put me at ease and explained the procedure and what to expect. I have had a follow up treatment and am following her instructions and am so relieved that my eyes feel healed.
I had a very painful and itchy stye that after 1.5 weeks it was clear it was just getting worse. I was referred to Megan for a procedure and was so impressed with her friendly personality and knowledge of this procedure. She explained what she was doing as she performed it which was helpful. That night I had no itching or pain and by the next day the swelling around the monster had gone down. Two days later it is not as big . I will have another treatment tomorrow and cannot wait. It you or someone u know has a stye don't let it drive u crazy - get Megan to work her magic for u!!!

Absolutely delighted with the service provided:) The staff is not only professional but also incredibly friendly and accommodating (patient, too). My whole family got our glasses in less than a week! The quality of the glasses and contacts received is also great.
Travis is really nice and knows his job so does the front staff. I was lucky enough to get Matt to assist me and he was awesome(I told him if I was his boss he would get a big raise lol).

Questions patients ask
Do I need a referral for an eye exam?
No. You can book directly with Capital Vision Care Meadowlark for a routine eye exam, a contact lens exam, a dry eye concern or many urgent eye concerns. Book online or call (780) 481-2795.
What does a comprehensive eye exam include?
It may include a health and vision history, prescription testing, eye pressure screening, retinal imaging, focusing and eye coordination checks, and a detailed look at the front and back of your eyes. Most exams take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the testing needed, whether dilation is required, and whether you are also being fitted for glasses or contacts.
Does Alberta Health Care cover eye exams?
Alberta Health Care (AHCIP) insures one routine eye exam per benefit year for children under 19 and seniors 65 and older. Since February 1, 2025 those exams are only partially covered, so a co-pay applies. Routine exams for adults 19 to 64 are not covered by AHCIP, though many extended health plans cover them.
Do you bill my insurance directly?
Yes. Capital Vision Care direct bills most major insurers, including Alberta Blue Cross, ASEBP, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Medavie, Quikcard and AUPE, along with many other private and employer plans.
Can I be seen for an eye emergency?
Yes. Same-day appointments are available for sudden eye pain, redness or vision changes, so you do not need to wait in the ER. The optometrists assess, diagnose and treat many urgent eye problems and can prescribe medication. For a chemical burn, a penetrating eye injury, sudden complete loss of vision or severe trauma, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Is there parking, and is the clinic accessible?
Free on-site patient parking, with accessible stalls close to the entrance. The clinic is wheelchair accessible, with a barrier-free exam room. Accessible parking and step-free indoor access are close to the door. Eye exams are offered in English, Cantonese and French.
When should my child have their first eye exam?
Children should have their first eye exam between 6 and 9 months, at least one exam between ages 2 and 5, and an exam every year from ages 6 to 19.
