As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Khoja offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the eye's conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of your eye) caused by an allergic reaction, and your optometrist can help manage your symptoms with medication and advice.
- Astigmatism: Blurry vision at all distances could be a sign of astigmatism, a refractive error that an optometrist can diagnose and treat with eyeglasses or contact lenses to sharpen your vision.
- Cataract: A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, making vision blurry, and your optometrist can detect and monitor its progression.
- Corneal Abrasion: If you have a scratch on your cornea (the clear front part of your eye), your optometrist can examine it, provide treatment, and ensure it heals properly.
- Diabetic Eye Disease: If you have diabetes, seeing an optometrist for regular eye exams is vital to prevent or delay vision problems related to high blood sugar.
- Dry Eyes: Experiencing burning, stinging, or a foreign body sensation in your eyes? Dry eye is a possibility, and your optometrist can help determine the cause and create a treatment plan to improve your eye comfort.
- Foreign Body in Eye: From tiny specks to larger objects, an optometrist can diagnose and treat foreign bodies in the eye, protecting your vision.
- Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that gradually steals your sight, but your optometrist can help monitor and manage it with regular checkups and appropriate treatment.
- Keratoconus: If you have keratoconus, a condition where your cornea is abnormally shaped, your optometrist will help you manage your vision by fitting you with special contact lenses or exploring other treatment options.
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. Khoja:
- 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. Khoja 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. Khoja.
- 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 early detection of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Khoja's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and comfort adjustments. Our team can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise after purchase. This ensures quality assurance and a positive experience.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Khoja plays a crucial role in LASIK co-management. He 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. Khoja is an integral part of the entire process.
- 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. These exams are essential for detecting issues like lazy eye or misaligned eyes, which are best treated early.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. This involves more than just your glasses prescription, including specific eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fittings to ensure the lenses are comfortable and provide 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. It can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. Testing during a routine exam includes measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve.
