True or false: If a person can see well, their eyes are healthy. False! It is a common misconception that how well a person can see indicates how healthy their eyes are. Instead, how well you can see at distance is only one of more than forty different tests or measurements that your optometrist will perform during a comprehensive eye examination.
Children have unique eye care needs as their eyes change and develop. With about 1 in 4 kids having an eye or vision problem, they cannot always tell us when something is wrong and they may appear to function normally. What is "normal" for them may actually be a symptom of an eye health or vision problem.
As we age, so too do our eyes, and with that age comes an increased risk and incidence of many eye diseases. A comprehensive eye examination will assess you for cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and a variety of other eye health conditions which can affect how you see the world.
We are a full-scope practice and see a wide range of eye emergencies each day. If you have an urgent eye care need such as an injury, infection, or flashes and floaters, please call our office as soon as possible. Our staff will ask you questions about your condition and may speak to one of the doctors before booking you an appointment, usually either the same day or the following day.
Part of routine eye care is the dilated fundus examination (or simply "dilation"), which involves the use of eye drops which contain an agent that relaxes the muscles of the iris and allows your optometrist an expansive view of the retina, vitreous, optic nerve, and the blood vessels that supply the interior of the eye.
