As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Tomeff offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Your optometrist can diagnose and treat allergic conjunctivitis, a common eye allergy causing redness, itching, and swelling in the eyes, by identifying the allergen and prescribing appropriate medication.
- Astigmatism: Blurry vision at all distances could be a sign of astigmatism, a refractive error that an optometrist can diagnose and treat with eyeglasses or contact lenses to sharpen your vision.
- Dry Eyes: If your eyes feel gritty, scratchy, or constantly dry, you might have dry eye disease; optometrists are eye care specialists who can diagnose this and help manage your symptoms with various treatments.
- Presbyopia: Presbyopia is age-related blurry near vision, typically starting in your 40s, and your optometrist can help correct it with reading glasses or multifocal contacts.
- 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.
- Inflammatory Glaucoma: Inflammatory glaucoma is a serious eye condition where swelling increases pressure within the eye, potentially damaging vision; optometrists provide regular check-ups and treatments to help control it.
- Eyelid Inflammation: Experiencing crusting, flaking, or burning eyelids? An optometrist can diagnose eyelid inflammation and create a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Optometric care with Dr. Tomeff:
- 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. They often work together, with Dr. Tomeff providing pre- and post-operative care.
- 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. Tomeff.
- 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.
- I'm interested in LASIK. Is that something you do?
- Dr. Tomeff is happy to discuss LASIK as part of a co-management approach. While the surgery itself is performed by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Tomeff plays a crucial role in the process, including the initial evaluation, pre-operative care, and all post-operative follow-up.
- What are the benefits of buying glasses from my optometrist's office versus online?
- Buying glasses from Dr. Tomeff's office offers personalized service, including expert fitting by a trained optician for proper lens alignment and adjustments for comfort. We handle complex prescriptions and provide direct support if any issues arise after purchase, ensuring quality assurance and a better experience.
- Can my eye exam detect health problems other than just vision issues?
- Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect early signs of serious systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain types of cancer, as the eye is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery.
- 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.
