Elevating Your Eyecare Experience
Respect Eyecare is moving to a fully private model, ensuring we can offer you even more personalized, attentive, and uninterrupted care—always with your long-term vision in mind.
Why This Change?
We believe you deserve more than rushed appointments and one-size-fits-all care. Alberta Health’s limitations made it increasingly difficult to provide the kind of service you’ve come to expect from Respect Eyecare.
By moving away from publicly funded care, we’re freeing up our time and focus to prioritize:
-
Longer appointments with your doctor
-
Early detection and proactive care using advanced technology
-
Personalized guidance without billing constraints
-
Full transparency, with no surprise costs
Note: Most insurance plans (including your work benefits) cover comprehensive eye exams. We’re happy to guide you through your coverage and make your experience seamless.
Here’s What You Can Expect
The Care You Receive
Staying the Same:
The same optometrists, the same attention to detail, the same boutique environment you love.
Changing:
More time with your doctor—no longer limited by AHC time constraints. Each appointment allows for deeper discussion, proactive wellness checks, and education tailored to your life and vision goals.
Your Coverage
Staying the Same:
Most private health benefits (through work or personal insurance) already include full coverage for comprehensive eye exams.
Changing:
We no longer bill Alberta Health directly. Our exams will be privately billed, but we’ll still help you navigate your benefit claims so you get the most from your plan—with full transparency on pricing and receipts provided.
The Way We Serve You
Staying the Same:
Our concierge-style approach, warm hospitality, and commitment to intentional, high-touch service.
Changing:
Greater freedom in how we care for you—without AHC restrictions, we can personalize every part of your visit, including advanced diagnostic testing, without needing to "code" or limit our service based on insurance billing rules.
Your Experience Beyond the Exam
Staying the Same:
Access to curated handcrafted eyewear, custom lens consultations, and continued aftercare support.
Changing:
Every client now receives uninterrupted, undivided care—less waiting, no rushed visits, and more proactive follow-up. You’ll notice the difference not only in how we treat your eyes, but how we treat you.
