Our Optometrists
Optometrists (eye doctors) are the primary health care professionals for the eye. Optometrists examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases, injuries, and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as identify related systemic conditions affecting the eye.
Because optometrists are trained to recognize critical health issues, such as diabetes and hypertension, while examining the eye, having an eye exam performed by your eye doctor can save your life as well as your vision.
Optometrists provide a wide range of care, including:
-
Detect and diagnose eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal disorders, lid disorders, and infections such as conjunctivitis.
-
Prescribe medication to treat eye diseases.
-
Evaluate and treat vision conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.
-
Perform minor surgical procedures such as removing foreign objects from the eye.
-
Provide pre- and post-operative care, especially for glaucoma, laser, refractive, and cataract patients.
- Prescribe eye glasses and contact lenses to correct vision conditions.
