Default Importance of Yearly Eye Exams

My step daughter a single mom went for a routine eye exam last Wednesday.
They saw something they did not like and sent her to the Rockyview Eye Clinic-MRI last Thursday and now scheduled Monday morning for Brain Tumour Surgery at the Foothills.

We are circling the wagons to try and get her and our grandson through this.

Get those eyes checked-maybe save your life

Thanks for your good recommendation. Thankfully the problem has been diagnosed and she is getting quick treatment.
All the best for a speedy recovery.

Agreed! Thanks for bringing this up.

Have an business acquaintance who had a similar situation. I noticed a slight change in her personality over time, and then I didn't see her for a while. When she came back to work, she was back to her old self again.

Her story was the same - an eye exam revealed that one of her eyes was showing signs of distortion. The followup revealed a brain tumor that was then promptly removed.

Thanks all for the well wishes.
Heading over shortly to pick up my step daughter for a pre-surgery MRI at 5:30am. Then surgery scheduled for 7:30am and expect surgery to last 6 -10 hours. Highly vascular and deeply imbedded tumor.
Suspect a long day with a terrified grandson.
