Annual eye check-ups can be scheduled. However, there may be situations that call for an unexpected visit to the eye doctor. Certain emergency eye conditions like eye pain, infection, sudden vision changes, and injury may result in complications or eye damage when left unaddressed. Visiting a walk-in eye clinic can help address problems the moment you need it.
If you experience any discomfort or suspect that something might be wrong with your vision, you must have your eyes evaluated by a vision care clinic as soon as possible. With early diagnosis comes immediate treatment, leading to faster recovery.
When you need to get your eyes checked at a moment’s notice, feel free to contact Waverley Eye Care Centre. Our optometrists are more than willing to see you on the same day to give you urgent eye care. Whether you need a thorough assessment of your vision or have your glasses repaired, Waverley Eye Care Centre is at your disposal.

Comprehensive Eye Exams in Winnipeg
Eye exams are not merely for emergency situations. Routine eye exams are integral in caring for your eye health. Even if you have a 20/20 vision and are not experiencing any concerns that might be alarming, it’s necessary to check in with your trusted eye doctor every year for an eye check-up.
Health issues involving the eyes may not reveal early symptoms and can only be identified by an optometrist. Having your eyes examined on a regular basis helps detect problems early to stop their progression. Eye exams are also an opportunity to determine the general condition of your eyes and their connection to your overall health.
Waverley Eye Care Centre is known for providing in-depth eye exams in Winnipeg. It’s important for us that our patients walk out of our vision care clinic armed with a clear understanding of their eye condition and a knowledge of how to better take care of their vision. We take time to educate our patients and answer any questions they may have.
Better patient education is one of our goals. We’d be glad to thoroughly explain to you the results of your eye exam and recommend effective ways to address your concerns.
