Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Adam Roth:

What is an Optometrist, and how are they different from an Ophthalmologist?

An optometrist (OD) is a primary eye care provider who performs comprehensive eye exams, prescribes glasses and contact lenses, and diagnoses and manages many eye diseases. An ophthalmologist (MD) is a medical doctor and eye surgeon.

How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam, even if I see well?

A comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is crucial, even if you see well. These exams look beyond your vision, detecting silent diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, which can threaten your sight without symptoms. Early detection allows for prompt treatment and preserves your vision.

Can an eye exam detect other health problems in my body?

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect early signs of systemic diseases. The eye is unique in offering direct visualization of blood vessels, allowing for the detection of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. A dilated eye exam can reveal early warning signs of these conditions.

What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. There are "dry" and "wet" forms, and regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management to preserve sight.

What are the signs of a cataract?

Common signs of cataracts include blurry or dim vision, increased glare from lights, fading or yellowing of colors, and frequent changes in glasses prescription. Dr. Roth can diagnose and monitor cataracts to ensure proper care.

What is the role of an optometrist in managing cataract surgery?

Dr. Adam Roth plays a crucial role in managing your cataract journey. We diagnose the cataract, determine the need for surgery, and refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist. Following surgery, we provide all essential post-operative care and vision correction follow-up.

What is 'low vision' and how can you help?

Low vision is vision impairment that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contacts, or surgery. A low vision evaluation with Dr. Roth focuses on maximizing remaining vision through tools like magnifiers, special lighting, and adaptive devices to help maintain independence.

I have something in my eye. Should I come here first?

Yes, absolutely. For issues like eye infections, corneal scratches, or foreign objects, an optometrist is the ideal first point of contact. We are equipped to diagnose and treat these urgent issues, often preventing a trip to the emergency room.
