Ophthalmology
Total Focus Kingsway Optometry is set up to deal with most primary eye care problems that may arise. During your comprehensive or medical eye health examination your optometrist will be closely examining your eyes for eye diseases, systemic problems and neurological conditions. If any of these problems are detected during this examination, further testing may be performed. If further testing or treatment is required, our office will take care of setting up your appointment with a local area ophthalmologist specializing in your specific situation. Total Focus Kingsway Optometry works closely with local Edmonton ophthalmologist to ensure a continuity of care.
