Dry Eye

Dry eye is a condition in which an individual has insufficient or low-quality tears for nourishment and lubrication of the eye. Tears play a vital role of keeping the eyes healthy and providing a clear vision. Dry eye condition is common in aged people.

Our comprehensive eye examination procedures are tailored to diagnose dry eyes. We have state of the art laboratory for testing and diagnosing. The testing emphasizes determining the number of tears produced and their quality.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss for those over 50. This incurable disease impacts your central vision and causes blurriness on the periphery. Prevention and early treatment are crucial to managing this condition.

In the early stages, patients will have no noticeable symptoms. That’s why it’s important to get tested. Your doctor may recommend antioxidants and supplements to slow the disease. Once the condition has progressed, there is little that can be done to improve vision.

Contact Lenses

When getting your contact lenses, be aware that you have several options available to you, including single-use lenses, extended use contact lenses, and even colored lenses.  Our doctors will likely recommend a particular brand of contact lenses during your eye appointment. This recommendation is based on the optometrist’s personal experience, but it is also based on your individual vision needs. Certain contact lens brands don’t support special conditions such as astigmatism. This is why it is essential to go with the brand that your optometrist recommends. If you have any questions about the possibility of a different brand for any reason, you should bring them up with your doctor.

Diabetic Eye Care & Diabetic Retinopathy

When you have diabetes, your eyes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and other kinds of damage. If these problems are left untreated, they can raise your risk of complete or partial vision loss. Diabetic eye exams are an important part of helping your eyes stay as healthy as possible. 

You should plan to have a diabetic eye exam every year or every other year. If you have eye or vision problems associated with diabetes, you might need to schedule these exams more often.

Eye Exams

Our optometrists will use a wide array of tests and procedures to examine your eyes. The criteria vary in intensity from the basic one that involves reading an eye chart to the complex one that entails the use of high-powered lenses to check the tiny structures inside your eyes carefully. 

Expect a comprehensive eye exam to last an hour or more depending on the complexity of the tests required to determine your optimal health.

Eyeglasses

When choosing eyeglasses/frames, it’s important to know that your choice can affect your eyeglasses experience. For instance, many people say that when they wear their eyeglasses, they feel like they’re looking out of a fishbowl. If you are acutely aware of the sides of the eyeglass frames, you can avoid this sensation by opting for larger frames. This will keep your frames out of your field of vision. You can also choose frameless eyeglasses, which create a more seamless view because there is no frame at all.  Finally, consider that if you wear your eyeglasses correctly, you should be only moderately aware of having frames on, since the lenses themselves are so close to your eyes.

If you need help choosing eyeglasses/frames, you can always ask for assistance at our office. We’ve fitted thousands of customers for eyeglasses/frames, and we’d be happy to help you, too!
