Eye Care Centre of Excellence
Our dynamic Eye Care Centre of Excellence - including 14 in-patient beds - is the largest comprehensive surgical and treatment program in Western Canada. There are over 20 surgical ophthalmologists on staff, many with subspeciality training, serving Northernwest Ontario, Manitoba, the Territories and Nunavut. We perform over 8,000 eye surgeries annually, including corneal transplants. Over 22,000 patients are seen in the ambulatory eye clinics for assessments and treatments, such as the new Avastin injections - an innovative way to treat wet macular degeneration. Our ophthalmologists provide 24-hour on-call services. We are also home to the Lions Eye Bank of Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. Other information: Quick facts about the Eye Care Centre of Excellence
