As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Hamilton offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Blepharochalasis: Loose and sagging eyelids, a sign of blepharochalasis, can be assessed by an optometrist who will determine if it affects your vision and discuss possible treatments or monitoring.
- Diabetic Eye Disease: If you have diabetes, seeing an optometrist for regular eye exams is vital to prevent or delay vision problems related to high blood sugar.
- Pseudophakia: Pseudophakia is simply having an artificial lens in your eye following cataract surgery. Your optometrist will ensure it's functioning well.
- Tear Duct Disorders: Tear duct disorders involve problems with the tubes that drain tears from your eyes, and optometrists can diagnose and sometimes treat these issues.
- Allergic Rhinitis (as it relates to allergic conjunctivitis): Your optometrist can help manage the eye symptoms (allergic conjunctivitis) associated with your seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) through examination and treatment.
- Visual Dysfunction: If you're struggling with any aspect of your vision, you may have visual dysfunction. Your optometrist is your first point of contact for diagnosis, treatment, and management of these conditions.
- Corneal Erosion: Pain, redness, and blurry vision can signal a corneal erosion, a scratch or defect on your eye's cornea. Your optometrist can examine your eye, provide treatment, and guide you on healing and prevention.
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. Hamilton offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Contact Lens Treatment: Contact lens treatment involves a comprehensive eye exam to determine the best type and fit of contact lenses for your vision needs.
- YAG Iridotomy (co-management/some states): To lower eye pressure and avoid potential vision damage, a YAG Iridotomy uses a laser to make a small opening in the colored part of the eye (iris).
- Eyeglass Fitting: Eyeglass fitting ensures your glasses comfortably fit your face and provide the clearest vision possible.
- Eye Movement Recording: This test measures your eye movements to detect problems like double vision, nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), or brain injuries affecting eye control.
- Humphrey Visual Field Test for Glaucoma: It's a painless test used to screen for and monitor glaucoma, a condition that damages your optic nerve and can lead to vision loss.
- Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens Treatment: If you need a high level of visual correction or have eye conditions like keratoconus, your optometrist might recommend RGP contact lenses as a treatment to improve your vision and eye health.
- Iridectomy (co-management): Your optometrist plays a key role in co-managing your iridectomy by performing pre and post-operative exams, managing medications and ensuring your eyes are healing well.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Hamilton:
- 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. Hamilton provides pre- and post-operative care in collaboration with ophthalmologists.
- 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. Hamilton.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. A fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription, including precise measurements of your eye's curvature, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fitting to ensure proper contact lens health, 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 caused by high pressure inside the eye. It can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. We test for it during a routine exam by measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve. These tests include a puff of air test or tonometer.
- 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, 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 are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Hamilton's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by our trained opticians, ensuring proper lens alignment and comfort. We can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise, guaranteeing quality assurance and a positive experience.
- 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. The exam can reveal early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer.
