As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Bevil offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: With regular eye exams by your optometrist, primary open-angle glaucoma, a disease characterized by increased eye pressure and damage to the optic nerve, can be monitored and managed to prevent vision loss.
- Hypotony of Eye: An optometrist can help manage hypotony, a condition of unusually low pressure inside the eye, by monitoring its progression and collaborating with other eye specialists if necessary.
- Visual Dysfunction: Visual dysfunction means your eyes aren't working as well as they should, leading to impaired sight. Your optometrist provides comprehensive eye exams to identify and manage these problems.
- Pars Planitis: Your optometrist can diagnose pars planitis, an inflammation inside your eye, and help you manage the condition to prevent vision loss.
- Refractive Error: Your optometrist can detect and correct refractive errors, which are common vision problems causing blurry or distorted vision at different distances.
- Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is an eye condition that causes vision problems due to fluid under the retina; your optometrist can help manage it with regular check-ups and treatment recommendations.
- Posterior Capsule Clouding: Following cataract surgery, the back of the artificial lens implant can sometimes become cloudy, reducing vision clarity; your optometrist will monitor this and recommend treatment if needed.
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. Bevil:
- What is the difference between an Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist?
- An optometrist (OD) is the primary eye care provider for routine exams, prescribing glasses or 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. Bevil often works with ophthalmologists, 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. Bevil.
- 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 for early detection 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.
- My eyes often feel dry and gritty. Is this something you can treat?
- Yes, we can treat dry eye. It's a very common condition that optometrists 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.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from our office allows for a personalized fitting by a trained optician, ensuring proper lens alignment and comfort. We can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise. Our quality assurance guarantees you'll receive the best possible vision correction.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Bevil works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Bevil 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 due to high pressure inside the eye. It can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. Testing includes measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve. Routine exams include these tests.
