Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess vision acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Exams include visual field testing, retinal imaging, and personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer customized dry eye solutions, including advanced diagnostics to identify underlying causes. Treatments range from prescription medications and punctal plugs to in-office procedures like LipiFlow. Our approach combines lifestyle modifications with targeted therapies to restore ocular surface health and alleviate discomfort.
Laser Eye Surgery Consultation
Our pre-operative evaluations determine candidacy for vision correction surgeries like LASIK. We analyze corneal topography, refractive errors, and ocular health to recommend the most suitable procedure. Post-surgery patients receive ongoing care to ensure optimal visual outcomes and complication monitoring.
MacuMira AMD Treatment
This specialized treatment addresses age-related macular degeneration through targeted interventions. Regular injections administered by our optometrists help slow disease progression, with ongoing monitoring to preserve central vision and maintain quality of life for AMD patients.
Myopia Control
We provide evidence-based interventions for slowing childhood myopia progression. Options include orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and specialized contact lenses. Regular follow-ups track axial length changes to implement timely adjustments in treatment strategies for optimal visual development.

I moved recently to abbotsford but I continue to commute to Maple Ridge because of the high standard of care given by Dr Hurlbert and the staff. I had purchased my glasses in Abbotsford but Maple Ridge Eyecare tightened the screws and replaced the nose pads. Well worth the commute.
