As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Cameron offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Retinal Artery Occlusion: Retinal artery occlusion occurs when an artery supplying blood to the retina becomes blocked, leading to vision impairment or loss; your optometrist can conduct exams to detect this and coordinate care with other specialists.
- Hazy Vision: Blurry or unclear vision, often described as hazy, could signal various eye problems. Your optometrist will diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment or management options.
- Nystagmus: Uncontrollable eye movements, or nystagmus, can impact your vision; your optometrist is a valuable resource for diagnosis and finding strategies to improve vision and reduce symptoms.
- Esophoria: Your eyes naturally want to drift inward; this is called esophoria, and your optometrist can help determine the severity and recommend treatment.
- Foreign Body in Eye: Something's stuck in your eye? Optometrists are trained to identify and remove foreign objects, ensuring your eye's health and comfort.
- Vision Loss: Whether it's age-related changes, an eye disease, or an underlying health condition, vision loss can significantly impact daily life; an optometrist can provide a comprehensive assessment and care plan.
- Esotropia: If your child's eyes turn inward (esotropia), an optometrist can perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine the cause and recommend appropriate management strategies.
- Entropion: Experiencing eyelid irritation or discomfort due to an inward-turning eyelid? Your optometrist can assess if it is entropion and suggest appropriate treatment methods to relieve the symptoms.
- Ectropion of Eyelid: Experiencing a droopy, outward-turned eyelid? This could be ectropion, and your optometrist can provide assessment, treatment, and ongoing care for this condition.
- Eyelid Inflammation: Eyelid inflammation, or blepharitis, is a common condition causing redness, swelling, and irritation of the eyelids, and your optometrist can help diagnose and treat it.
- Pterygium: Optometrists are qualified to diagnose and manage pterygia, fleshy growths on the eye's surface that can sometimes impair vision, and can recommend surgical removal if needed.
- Eyelid Eczema: Experiencing dry, itchy, or inflamed eyelids? An optometrist can help determine if you have eyelid eczema and recommend appropriate management strategies such as medicated creams and lifestyle adjustments to reduce irritation.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Cameron:
- What is the difference between an Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist?
- An optometrist (OD) is the primary eye care doctor for routine exams, prescribing glasses/contacts, and managing common eye diseases. An ophthalmologist (MD/DO) is a medical and surgical physician who performs eye surgery and treats more complex eye diseases. They often work together, with Dr. Cameron 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 individuals with risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease may need more frequent exams as recommended by Dr. Cameron.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Cameron's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and adjustments for comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise, ensuring quality and satisfaction.
- 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 that are best treated early.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Cameron works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Cameron performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. A fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription, including precise measurements of your eye's curvature, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure comfort and clarity. This is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
- What is glaucoma and how do you test for it?
- Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, often caused by high pressure inside the eye. Untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Testing during a routine exam includes measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve.
- 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 doctors to spot early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer.
