As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Barnett offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Coloboma of Iris: Your optometrist can diagnose and manage coloboma of the iris, a birth defect showing as a hole or split in the eye's colored portion, potentially affecting vision.
- Pterygium: Your optometrist can detect and manage pterygia, which are non-cancerous growths on the eye's surface that can affect vision if they get too large.
- Oculomotor Migraine: Headaches accompanied by visual distortions, such as blind spots or zigzag lines, might indicate an oculomotor migraine, and your optometrist can assess your eye health and help you manage this condition.
- Horner's Syndrome: Your optometrist plays a vital role in detecting Horner's syndrome, a condition characterized by a drooping eyelid, smaller pupil, and reduced sweating on one side of the face, through their eye examination expertise.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Barnett:
- 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. Barnett 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. Barnett.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Barnett is involved in LASIK co-management. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Barnett performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits. This ensures the eyes heal properly.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Barnett'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, ensuring quality assurance and peace of mind.
- Can my eye exam detect health problems other than just vision issues?
- Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect health problems beyond vision issues. 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 conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and certain cancers.
- 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. Untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. 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 is because a fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription, including specific measurements of your eye's curvature, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure comfort and clear vision. This is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
- 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 specific types of artificial tears and prescription eye drops to in-office procedures that can improve tear quality and provide lasting relief.
