As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Reynolds offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Visual Disturbance: Blurry vision, floaters, or other visual problems can affect your daily life. Your optometrist will assess your visual disturbance to determine its cause and offer effective solutions.
- Retinal Telangiectasia: Retinal telangiectasia is a condition where tiny blood vessels in the retina become abnormally dilated and weakened, potentially leading to vision problems, and your optometrist can monitor its progression and recommend treatment options.
- Retinal Degeneration: If you have retinal degeneration, an optometrist will monitor your vision changes, suggest visual aids like low-vision devices, and work with other specialists to optimize your sight.
- Eyelid Inflammation: Experiencing crusting, flaking, or burning eyelids? An optometrist can diagnose eyelid inflammation and create a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms.
- Fuchs' Corneal Dystrophy: Fuchs' corneal dystrophy is a gradual eye disease causing corneal swelling and blurry vision, and your optometrist can monitor its progression and suggest management strategies.
- Corneal Abrasion or Laceration: A corneal abrasion or laceration is a scratch or tear on the clear front surface of your eye (cornea), and your optometrist can diagnose and treat it to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Progressive High Myopia: If you have high myopia that's getting worse, it's called progressive high myopia, and your optometrist plays a key role in slowing its progression and minimizing potential eye health risks through regular monitoring and treatment.
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. Reynolds offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- LASIK (co-management): Your optometrist can coordinate your care with the LASIK surgeon, performing pre-operative assessments and post-operative monitoring to maximize the success of your procedure.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Reynolds:
- 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. Reynolds provides pre- and post-operative care to patients who work 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. 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. Reynolds.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Reynolds's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and comfort adjustments. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if needed, ensuring quality assurance and peace of mind.
- 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. Early detection of issues like lazy eye or misaligned eyes is essential, as these conditions are best treated when caught early.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Reynolds plays a crucial role in LASIK co-management. While the surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist, she performs the initial evaluation, provides pre-operative care, and manages all post-operative follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.
- 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. Testing during a routine exam includes measuring eye pressure, checking peripheral vision, and examining the optic nerve.
- 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. 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, clarity, and health. This process is necessary to obtain a contact lens prescription.
