As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Dizon offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Vertical Heterophoria: Vertical heterophoria is a type of eye misalignment where your eyes don't quite line up vertically, but your brain usually corrects it, and an optometrist can detect and manage this with glasses or vision therapy.
- Chronic Conjunctivitis: Chronic conjunctivitis is a long-term inflammation of the eye's conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye), and your optometrist can help manage it with medication and lifestyle advice.
- Eye Pain: Experiencing eye pain? An optometrist can examine your eyes, identify the source of the discomfort, and recommend relief options.
- Papilledema: Your optometrist can identify papilledema, a swelling of the optic nerve visible during an eye exam, and refer you to specialists who can address the underlying medical cause.
- Heterophoria: Your eyes might drift slightly out of alignment without you realizing it; this is heterophoria, and your optometrist can identify it during a comprehensive eye exam and recommend ways to manage it.
- Steroid-Induced Glaucoma: Prolonged use of steroid medications can sometimes lead to steroid-induced glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where your optometrist plays a key role in detection and management through regular eye exams and treatment.
- Degenerative Disorders of Globe: Degenerative eye conditions gradually damage the eye's structures, impacting vision; optometrists conduct comprehensive exams to identify these issues and help preserve your sight.
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. Dizon offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Multifocal Contact Lens Treatment: Multifocal contact lenses correct vision at multiple distances, eliminating the need for separate glasses for near, intermediate, and distance vision.
- Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (co-management/some states): This laser procedure helps open drainage channels in your eye to reduce pressure, often used as a glaucoma treatment option.
- BlephEx for Blepharitis: BlephEx is a simple in-office procedure that cleanses the eyelids to treat blepharitis, a common eye condition causing inflammation and irritation.
- Contact Lens Treatment: This service helps you see clearly with contact lenses, correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Implantable Contact Lens (co-management): Implantable contact lenses offer a long-term solution for vision correction, and your optometrist is involved in evaluating your candidacy and managing your care before and after surgery.
- Extraocular Muscle Surgery (co-management): If you need surgery to correct eye muscle problems, your optometrist can coordinate your care with the surgeon, providing pre- and post-operative eye exams and support.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (co-management): Refractive Lens Exchange is a surgery to improve your eyesight, and your optometrist plays a vital role in your care before, during, and after the surgery, helping coordinate with the ophthalmologist.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Dizon:
- 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 complex eye conditions. Dr. Dizon often collaborates 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 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. Dizon.
- 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.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Dizon plays a crucial role in LASIK co-management. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Dizon performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. A contact lens fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription; it requires specific measurements of your eye's curvature, an evaluation of your tear film, and a trial lens fitting. This ensures the contacts are healthy, comfortable, and provide clear vision, and is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
- 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 our optometrist to identify early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers.
- 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 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.
