Medical Eye Exams

Cataract Co-Management

Cataract co-management involves a collaborative effort between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist to provide comprehensive care to patients with cataracts. This approach allows for timely diagnosis, appropriate referral, and effective management of cataracts. The ophthalmologist performs the surgery while the optometrist manages the patient's pre-and post-operative care, including monitoring for complications and providing corrective lenses. This coordinated approach ensures that patients receive the best possible care and achieve optimal visual outcomes.

Glaucoma Co-Management

Glaucoma co-management involves a collaborative effort between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist to provide comprehensive care for patients with glaucoma. This approach allows for early detection, monitoring, and treatment of the disease. The optometrist performs regular eye exams and monitors the patient's intraocular pressure, while the ophthalmologist provides medical and surgical interventions as needed. This coordinated approach ensures that patients receive the best possible care and can maintain their vision for as long as possible.

Macular Degeneration
​​​​​​​

Macular degeneration is a medical condition that affects the retina and can lead to vision loss. There are various treatments available for macular degeneration, including injections, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy. Testing for macular degeneration involves a comprehensive eye exam, including a visual acuity test, a dilated eye exam, and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of macular degeneration, such as blurred vision or dark spots in your vision.
