Finding the right optometrist matters. At Waverley Eye Care Centre, we’ve been helping families in South West Winnipeg see clearly for more than 30 years. In fact, the eye doctors live in the area, so if you are in Lindenwoods, Linden Ridge, Whyte Ridge, Fort Garry, or River Heights, you may have seen them walking at the grocery store or the hockey rink.
We believe eye care should feel simple, friendly, and personal. Just clear answers and the right care for your eyes.
Why Local Matters in Eye Care
Choosing an optometrist isn’t just about checking vision once a year. It’s about having someone nearby who knows the community and is there when you need them.
Think about it: a child from Linden Meadows school, a grandparent in River Heights noticing changes in night vision while working out at ReFit, or a busy professional in Lindenwoods struggling with dry eyes at the computer while working from home. Each story is different, but the care comes back to the same place, your trusted local eye clinic.
What Our Optometrists Do
An optometrist is more than “just glasses”- but we do glasses really well! We check the full health of your eyes, screen for early signs of disease, and make sure your vision works for your daily life. Our job is to spot small issues before they grow into bigger problems.
At Waverley Eye Care Centre, our team uses advanced tools like OCT imaging, Optos retinal photos, and axial length measurements for kids with myopia. But what really matters? We explain what we see in plain language, guide you through your options, get your eye condition treated or find someone that can help you.
Don’t forget we are also guiding you through the confusing world of eyeglasses. You may need to get new glasses once every few years, so the options can be confusing. Many opticals assume you are too busy to research options yourself, so they lead you to believe all frames and lenses are the same, so just buy their inexpensive 2 for 1 promos. We help you understand the differences in options and are happy to give you good, better and best options for you. And when you compare apples to apples, our prices are always the best.
Eye Exams in Winnipeg
Regular eye exams are the foundation of healthy vision. For kids, exams help with school readiness. For adults, exams track prescription changes. And for seniors, eye exams can catch issues like glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration before they cause permanent vision loss.
We recommend:
- Kids: at 6 months and then at least every year
- Adults under 65: every two years
- Adults over 65: every year, since the risk of eye disease goes up with age.
Eye Glasses for Every Style
Glasses aren’t just about seeing clearly, they’re about how you feel when you put them on. Our dispensary carries frames for every age and budget. From simple everyday wear to stylish designer looks, we help you pick something that fits your face, lifestyle, and personality.
We also cut and finish lenses right in our lab, so you don’t have to wait weeks. Families from Linden Ridge often say how much they appreciate same-day adjustments and repairs when life gets busy.
Contact Lenses in Winnipeg
For many people, contacts offer freedom from glasses. Whether you’re trying lenses for the first time or have worn them for years, our optometrists fit lenses that match your eyes and lifestyle.
Options include:
- Daily disposables for comfort and convenience
- Monthly lenses for cost savings
- Specialty lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia
- Myopia control contact lenses for kids
A teenager from Whyte Ridge recently shared how switching to daily disposables made hockey games easier and more comfortable. That’s the kind of practical difference contact lenses can make. Our contact lenses prices are competitive and you are also supporting a local business.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eyes are one of the most common complaints we hear, especially from patients working long hours at a screen. Symptoms can include burning, tearing, redness, or just that “gritty” feeling in the eyes.
We offer dry eye testing and treatments beyond over-the-counter drops, including:
- Meibography to image oil glands in your eyelids
- Radiofrequency (RF) and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies
- Heat and expression treatments
- Prescription eye drops if needed
Patients in Lindenwoods who thought they “just had to live with it” often find real relief with these treatments.
Myopia Management for Kids
Myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise, especially in children who spend more time on screens and less time outdoors. The concern isn’t just stronger glasses—it’s that high myopia increases the risk of eye disease later in life.
At Waverley Eye Care Centre, we track axial length growth and use proven treatments to slow myopia, including:
- Stellest and MiyoSmart spectacle lenses
- Myopia control contact lenses like Abiliti, MiSight and Orthk-K
- Atropine eye drops
- Lifestyle guidance for outdoor time
Parents from River Heights tell us they love having a clear plan to protect their child’s eyesight for the future.
Macular Degeneration Treatment
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in seniors. The key is early detection and proactive care. Our clinic provides:
- OCT scans to track retinal health
- Nutritional counselling and supplement guidance
- MacuMira microcurrent treatments
- Referrals for advanced care when injections are needed
One Fort Garry patient shared how catching early AMD gave them peace of mind and a treatment plan to preserve vision.
