As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Le offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Vitreous Diseases: Floaters, flashes, or other vision disturbances might indicate a vitreous disease; your optometrist will perform tests to determine the cause and recommend treatment or monitoring.
- Disorder of Choroid: If you have a choroid disorder, it means something is wrong with the part of your eye that provides its blood supply, affecting your vision; your optometrist is the first step in getting the right diagnosis and care.
- Retinoschisis: Retinoschisis is a condition where the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye, splits into layers, and your optometrist can help detect and monitor this condition.
- Eyelid Spasm: Your optometrist can diagnose and manage eyelid spasms, often recommending treatments like eye drops, stress reduction techniques, or addressing potential underlying causes during a comprehensive eye exam.
- Visual Field Defects: Visual field defects mean you can't see everything in your normal range of vision, and an optometrist can identify the cause and recommend treatment.
- Corneal Erosion: Corneal erosion is a condition where the surface of your eye's cornea gets scratched or damaged, causing pain and blurry vision, and your optometrist can help treat it and prevent further problems.
- Esophoria: Esophoria is an eye condition where one or both eyes drift inward, often noticed as crossed eyes, manageable with your optometrist's guidance.
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. Le offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Laser Trabeculoplasty (co-management/some states): Your optometrist may recommend laser trabeculoplasty as a treatment for glaucoma, a condition causing increased pressure in the eye and potentially vision loss.
- Multifocal Contact Lens Treatment: Experience clear vision at all distances with multifocal contact lenses, a treatment option that helps to correct age-related blurry vision and other refractive errors.
- Eye Test: Eye tests help diagnose and monitor conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, ensuring early detection and treatment.
- Monovision: If you need reading glasses, monovision might be an option to reduce or eliminate your dependence on them by using different corrective lenses in each eye.
- Photo Therapeutic Keratectomy (co-management): Your optometrist plays a vital role in the co-management of phototherapeutic keratectomy, providing pre- and post-operative care and helping to ensure your vision recovers smoothly.
- Refractive Surgery (co-management): If you're considering LASIK or cataract surgery, your optometrist can help coordinate your care with the surgeon, providing pre- and post-operative exams and monitoring your progress.
- Scleral Contact Lens Treatment: If you have corneal irregularities or severe dry eye, scleral lenses might be recommended to provide a stable, comfortable, and clear vision solution.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Le:
- 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. Le provides pre- and post-operative care for patients who need eye surgery.
- 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 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. Le.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from our office allows for a personalized fitting by a trained optician, ensuring proper lens alignment and comfort. We can handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise. This personalized service and quality assurance are key benefits over online options.
- 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 is glaucoma and how do you test for it?
- Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to high pressure inside the eye. Routine eye exams include measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve. Untreated glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
- 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 contact lens fitting involves more than just your glasses prescription, including specific eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and trial lens fittings to ensure comfort and clarity. This process 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 doctors to identify early signs of serious systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Le works with ophthalmologists to co-manage LASIK. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Le plays a key role in evaluating candidacy, providing pre-operative care, and managing post-operative follow-up. This ensures proper healing and optimal results.
