General Ophthalmology

Good vision means healthy eyes. An important part of keeping your eyes healthy and preserving your vision is having your yearly eye exam. At Western Laser Eye Associates in Calgary,Alberta Canada, Dr. Anderson Penno not only specializes in LASIK/PRK, she can also take care of your general ophthalmology needs.

Refractive surgery can free you from eyeglasses and contacts, but that doesn't mean you should stop having eye exams. Many conditions that can rob you of your sight do not have early warning signs, and can only be detected by a thorough exam. Early detection can save your vision.

Dr. Anderson Penno has been practicing ophthalmology since 1996. An ophthalmologist is more than just an eye expert. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in eye care. Many conditions of the eye stem from health problems elsewhere in the body, such as diabetes. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Anderson Penno is qualified to recognize and care for these issues.

A complete eye exam goes further than an eye chart test and a brief look at your eyes. A full exam includes dilation to check for signs of eye disease or deterioration, and can catch conditions such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy before they do permanent damage.

As a medical doctor Dr. Anderson Penno can prescribe any medications you may need to keep your eyes healthy and maintain sight. She will take into consideration your full medical history when examining your eyes. Medical conditions that may affect your eye health include certain types of arthritis, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. If you would like more information about medical conditions, the websites for the Mayo Clinic and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) have lots of wonderful information.
