Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Price:
- 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. Price provides pre- and post-operative care in collaboration with ophthalmologists.
- 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. 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. Price.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Price plays a crucial role in LASIK co-management. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Price performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits. This ensures your eyes heal properly after the procedure.
- 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.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. It involves more than just your glasses prescription, including precise eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fittings to ensure comfort and clear vision. This process is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
- What is glaucoma and how do you test for it?
- Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to high eye pressure. Routine exams include measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve. Untreated glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
- 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, allowing early detection of serious systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and certain cancers.
- 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.
