Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Nguyen:
- 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. Nguyen 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 generally recommended. However, children, seniors, and those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure may need more frequent exams, as determined by Dr. Nguyen.
- 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 contact lens fitting requires specific measurements of the eye, evaluation of the tear film, and a trial lens fitting to ensure comfort and clear vision. This process is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Nguyen works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK procedures. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Nguyen performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits.
- 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.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Nguyen's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by our trained opticians for optimal lens alignment and comfort adjustments. We can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise after purchase. This ensures quality assurance and peace of mind.
- 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. Dry eye is a very common condition that optometrists diagnose and manage. Treatment options range from specific types of artificial tears and prescription eye drops to in-office procedures that can improve tear quality and provide lasting relief.
