Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Celico:
- 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. Celico 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 risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease may need more frequent exams, as determined by Dr. Celico.
- 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 effectively. Treatment options range from artificial tears and prescription eye drops to in-office procedures that can improve tear quality and provide lasting relief.
- Can my eye exam detect health problems other than just vision issues?
- Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect health problems beyond vision issues. The eye is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing for early detection of serious systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Celico's office provides expert fitting by a trained optician, ensuring proper lens alignment and personalized adjustments for optimal comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and offer direct support if any issues arise, ensuring quality assurance and peace of mind.
- 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 detailed eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure comfort and clear vision. This process 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.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Celico plays a crucial role in the LASIK process. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Celico performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits.
