As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Ogletree offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Allergic Conjunctivitis: If you have itchy, watery, and red eyes due to an allergy, it might be allergic conjunctivitis; your optometrist can diagnose this and recommend treatments like eye drops to relieve your discomfort.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dry Eyes: Dry eye is a common condition where your eyes don't produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing dryness, irritation, and discomfort; an optometrist can diagnose and recommend treatments like artificial tears or other therapies.
- Eye Disease: An optometrist performs comprehensive eye exams to identify and treat a wide range of eye diseases, helping to maintain your vision and overall well-being.
- 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.
- 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.
- Presbyopia: As you get older, presbyopia makes it harder to focus on close-up objects; your optometrist can provide glasses or contact lenses to fix this.
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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Ogletree offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Eye Test: A comprehensive eye exam involves a series of tests to evaluate your vision, eye health, and identify potential risks for future eye problems.
- Eyeglasses: Eyeglasses are a common and effective way to treat refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Foreign Body Removal from Eye: Foreign body removal from the eye safely extracts particles like dust, dirt, or small objects lodged in your eye.
- Ocular Inflammation (Uveitis) Treatment: If you have uveitis, treatment aims to control the inflammation to protect your vision and prevent long-term eye damage.
- Soft Contact Lenses: If you prefer a less noticeable way to correct your vision, soft contact lenses offer a comfortable alternative to glasses.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Ogletree:
- 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. Dr. Ogletree often works with ophthalmologists, 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. Ogletree.
- 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 specific types of artificial tears and prescription eye drops to in-office procedures that can improve tear quality and provide lasting relief.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Ogletree's office ensures an expert fitting by a trained optician, guaranteeing proper lens alignment and personalized adjustments for optimal comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise, ensuring 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 that are best treated early.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Ogletree plays a crucial role in LASIK co-management. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Ogletree performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits. This ensures the eyes are healing properly.
- 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.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. This process involves more than just your glasses prescription, including measurements of your eye's curvature, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure comfort and clear vision. A contact lens prescription requires this specialized evaluation.
