Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Jiang:
- 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. Jiang providing pre- and post-operative care.
- How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam?
- For healthy adults, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is typically recommended. However, children, seniors, and those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure may need more frequent exams, as determined by Dr. Jiang.
- 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 eye exam includes measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Jiang works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Jiang performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Jiang's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by our trained opticians to ensure proper lens alignment and adjustments for optimal comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise after purchase, ensuring quality assurance and peace of mind.
- My eyes often feel dry and gritty. Is this something you can treat?
- Yes, dry eye is a very common condition that we diagnose and manage. 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. The eye is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery. A comprehensive eye exam can reveal early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer.
- 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.
