- Diabetic Eye Disease: Regular eye exams with an optometrist are essential for people with diabetes to detect and manage eye complications early, preserving their sight.
- Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye, and your optometrist can monitor your pressure and help prevent vision loss.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Coleman:
- 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. Coleman 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 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. Coleman.
- 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 unique in allowing direct visualization of blood vessels, revealing early signs of 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. Coleman's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and adjustments for optimal comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise after purchase. This ensures quality assurance and peace of mind throughout the entire process.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Coleman is happy to discuss LASIK as a co-management option. While the surgery itself is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Coleman plays a crucial role in the process, from the initial evaluation to ensure candidacy, pre-operative care, and ongoing post-operative follow-up to monitor healing.
- 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 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.
- 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 measurements of your eye's curvature, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure proper contact lens health, comfort, and clear vision. This is required to obtain a contact lens prescription.
