Eye Exams
What it is:
A comprehensive check-up of your eye health. It involves evaluating your vision, checking for common eye conditions, and assessing overall eye function.
Who it’s for:
Everyone, from children to seniors. Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining healthy vision and detecting any potential issues early.
What to expect:
During the exam, I’ll check your vision, test for signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, and ensure your eyes are in good health. It’s a quick, painless process.
How to prepare:
Just bring along your current glasses or contact lenses (if you wear them). No special preparation is needed.
Cataract Evaluation
What it is:
An assessment to determine if cataracts are affecting your vision. Cataracts are a common condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly.
Who it’s for:
Anyone experiencing blurry vision, glare, or trouble seeing at night. Cataracts commonly affect older adults but can occur at any age.
What to expect:
I’ll check the clarity of your lens, test your vision, and assess how cataracts may be impacting your daily life. If needed, I’ll discuss possible treatment options.
How to prepare:
You may need to refrain from wearing contact lenses for a day or two before the exam, as they can affect the test results.
Diabetic Eye Care
What it is:
Specialized care for people with diabetes, focusing on monitoring and treating eye conditions caused by high blood sugar, like diabetic retinopathy.
Who it’s for:
Anyone with diabetes, as this condition increases the risk of developing eye problems. Early detection and care are key.
What to expect:
We’ll perform detailed tests to check for damage to the blood vessels in your eyes. I’ll explain the results and discuss ways to manage and treat any issues found.
How to prepare:
Bring along your diabetes management details, such as blood sugar levels and medication information.
Pediatric Eye Checkups
What it is:
A routine eye exam for children, which checks for vision problems, eye coordination, and overall eye health.
Who it’s for:
Children, especially those who might be struggling with reading, seeing clearly from a distance, or squinting often.
What to expect:
The exam will be gentle and kid-friendly, designed to make them feel at ease while we check for common childhood eye problems like nearsightedness or lazy eye.
How to prepare:
Make sure your child is well-rested, and bring along any concerns or questions about their vision.
LASIK Consultations
What it is:
A consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for LASIK surgery, which is a procedure that can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts by reshaping the cornea.
Who it’s for:
People who are tired of wearing glasses or contacts and are interested in permanent vision correction.
What to expect:
I’ll perform a thorough eye exam to assess your vision and overall eye health. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll discuss the LASIK procedure, recovery, and what to expect afterward.
How to prepare:
Avoid wearing contact lenses for a couple of days before the consultation, as they can alter the shape of your cornea.
