- Keratoconus: Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the cornea's shape, leading to vision problems; your optometrist plays a key role in diagnosis and managing the condition with various treatment options.
- Iridocyclitis: Experiencing eye pain, redness, and blurred vision? Iridocyclitis, an inflammation of parts of your eye, could be the cause; see your optometrist for diagnosis and a treatment plan.
- Chemosis: Your eyes' conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part) can swell, a condition called chemosis, and your optometrist can diagnose and manage this swelling.
- Corneal Diseases: Your optometrist plays a key role in detecting and managing corneal diseases, which can cause blurry vision, pain, and even vision loss; they'll create a treatment plan to protect your sight.
- Blurred Vision: Blurry vision can have many causes, from needing new glasses to underlying health issues. An optometrist will diagnose the problem and create a treatment plan.
- Visual Field Loss: Experiencing blind spots or a decreased field of vision? Your optometrist can diagnose the reason for your visual field loss and develop a plan to preserve your sight.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Trang offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Oculoplastics (co-management): Your optometrist helps manage your eye health alongside an ophthalmologist if you're having surgery related to the eyelids, tear ducts, or surrounding structures.
- Macular Degeneration Genetic Testing: Understanding your genetic predisposition to macular degeneration through testing can empower you to make informed decisions about your eye health.
- Relaxing Corneal Incisions (co-management): To improve the outcome of eye surgeries, optometrists sometimes help manage relaxing corneal incisions, which involve small, precisely placed cuts in the cornea.
- Glaucoma Treatment: Glaucoma treatment involves regular monitoring and adjustments to medication or procedures to maintain stable eye pressure and optimal vision health.
- Fluorescein Angiography: Fluorescein angiography helps doctors diagnose and monitor eye conditions affecting blood vessels, such as macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, by taking pictures of your eye's blood vessels after injecting a special dye.
- Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (co-management/some states): Argon laser trabeculoplasty is a treatment used to lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma, helping to prevent vision loss.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Trang:
- What is the difference between an Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist?
- An optometrist (OD) is the primary eye care provider for routine exams, prescribing glasses or contacts, and managing common eye conditions. An ophthalmologist (MD/DO) is a medical doctor who performs eye surgery and treats more complex eye diseases. Dr. Trang often works with ophthalmologists, providing pre- and post-operative care.
- How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam?
- For healthy adults with no symptoms or risk factors, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is typically recommended. However, children, seniors, and those with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease may need more frequent exams, as determined by Dr. Trang.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. This is because a fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription, including precise measurements of your eye's shape, tear film evaluation, and a trial lens fitting to ensure the contacts are comfortable and provide clear vision. A contact lens prescription requires this detailed process.
- Can my eye exam detect health problems other than just vision issues?
- Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect more than just vision problems. The eye is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing our optometrist to identify early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and certain cancers.
- At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
- The American Optometric Association recommends a first comprehensive eye exam for a child at 6 months of age, again at age 3, and just before they start school. This is essential for detecting issues like lazy eye or misaligned eyes, which are best treated early.
- My eyes often feel dry and gritty. Is this something you can treat?
- Yes, we can treat dry eye. It's a very common condition that optometrists diagnose and manage. Treatment options range from artificial tears and prescription eye drops to in-office procedures to improve tear quality and provide lasting relief.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Trang's office allows for a personalized fitting by a trained optician, ensuring proper lens alignment and comfort. We can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise, offering a valuable level of service and quality assurance.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Trang works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK procedures. She performs the initial evaluation to determine candidacy, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. While the surgery itself is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Trang plays a vital role in the entire process.
