Routine eye examinations are recommended for children and adults to diagnose and treat eye conditions that may occur in the eye and surrounding structures. Damage from most eye diseases are preventable if conditions are diagnosed early and treated properly.

For adults such conditions are: diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, cataracts, hypertension, thyroid disorder, lupus, multiple sclerosis, macular degeneration, plus retinal detachments and tears. For individuals using computers, fatigue, eyestrain, and sometimes headaches may occur.

For children, a serious condition that requires early treatment is a lazy eye. Lazy eye is asymptomatic and often cannot be detected by parents, teachers, or the child.

Our doctors of optometry are therapeutically certified in the use of ocular medications to diagnose and treat eye conditions, prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses, along with co-managing conditions with our medical doctors.
