( Dr. Adam Kiel Muzychuk, Local Ophthalmologist Calgary, AB ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos. Always talk with your Local Ophthalmologist about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments for What is Glaucoma? and procedures the Local Ophthalmologist could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you. Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

local ophthalmologist is different from a local optometrist in that an optometrist doesn’t perform surgery. If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.Your optometrist or ophthalmologist may want to lower your IOP as a preventative measure.

Please contact ( Dr. Adam Kiel Muzychuk, Local Ophthalmologist Calgary, AB ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients.Patients are often concerned that an injection of material into their eye will be a painful or scary procedure. In fact, after the first or second injection, patients become quite at ease with the idea that they will have these injections, Following an intravitreal injection, you may feel pressure or grittiness in the eye, slight bleeding on the white of the eye and floaters in your vision. These are temporary and normal. As glaucoma progresses, it damages more and more of your optic nerve fibers, leading to vision loss. With primary open-angle glaucoma, the fluid can’t effectively flow back out of your eye. Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the iris of the eye closes off the drainage angle completely, causing an increase in IOP pressure and damage to the optic nerve.

Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure within the eyeball, causing damage to the optic nerve and gradual loss of sight.  If glaucoma is detected early preventative measures can be taken to save vision loss.

Cataracts can affect both eyes or just one, and some patients experience mild symptoms, while others can barely see any shapes or movements. Cataract symptoms include blurry vision, haloes, sensitivity to bright lights, decreased night vision, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions, and faded colours.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that primarily affect the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. In most cases of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve is associated with increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). However, glaucoma can also occur without elevated IOP, known as normal-tension glaucoma.

When the pressure inside the eye becomes elevated, it can cause compression and damage to the retinal fibers that make up the optic nerve. These fibers are responsible for transmitting visual signals to the brain, allowing us to see.

    I was referred to Dr. Muzychuk by optometrist Dr. Waddell of Eye Effects in Strathcona, for cataracts in both eyes. I was apprehensive about eye surgery but was reassured it was very minor and easy. And so it was. I just finished my second cataract surgery on March 14/22 and am extremely pleased with the results. I have worn glasses since my teen years (I am now 75), and now can see extremely well without glasses (except for very close up) just 2 days after my most recent surgery. It seems hard to believe. I won't need glasses for driving or watching tv etc. Dr. Muzychuk is not only an extremely competent professional, but very pleasant and helpful. Can't recommend high enough. Beware however, he is very busy, and understandably so, so be prepared to wait some. It is worth it. WJS Calgary

    Dr. Adam is professional and is able to answer my questions. But the front desk staff are rude . When you phone the office the person answering the phone hangs up on you. The assistant to dr. Adam is unprofessional and rude to patients. This office has no COVID-19 guidelines.

    Excellent surgeon, but extremely poor hand hygiene in his office - in fact, there was NO hand hygiene performed between patients! As a health care provider, I'm well aware of the potential for cross-contamination between patients, and none of the nurses in his office performed any hand hygiene when administering eye drops. I also witnessed the office clerk being extremely rude to patients when on the phone - and she was verbally abusive to her co-workers. She displayed a complete lack of patient confidentiality and constantly made negative comments about patients after her telephone conversations. It's a very busy office, and to be exposed to such a lack of professionalism is disappointing. As noted above, Dr. Adam is an excellent Ophthalmologist, but his office staff fail in patient care, proper procedure, and patient confidentiality.
