Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Rosso:
- 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. Rosso 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 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. Rosso.
- 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. Rosso's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and adjustments for comfort. Our team handles complex prescriptions and provides direct support if any issues arise after purchase. This ensures the highest quality and best possible vision experience.
- 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.
- Do I need a separate appointment for a contact lens fitting?
- Yes, a separate appointment is needed for a contact lens fitting. This involves more than just your glasses prescription, including precise eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fittings to ensure proper comfort and vision clarity. A contact lens prescription requires this comprehensive process.
- 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 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.
