A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Anastasia OD provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Amaurosis Fugax: Protecting your vision involves being aware of amaurosis fugax, a temporary loss of vision in one eye that can signal a serious circulatory issue. Regular check-ups with your eye doctor help prevent this from progressing.
• Blepharoconjunctivitis: Regular visits to your eye doctor for preventive care allow for the early detection and management of blepharoconjunctivitis, minimizing its impact on your eye health.
• Heterochromia Iridis: Heterochromia iridis, or two differently colored irises, is usually harmless but sometimes indicates an underlying condition, highlighting the importance of regular eye exams for early detection.
• Subconjunctival Hemorrhage: A subconjunctival hemorrhage is a broken blood vessel in the white part of your eye, often harmless but sometimes indicating a need for blood pressure or blood clotting checks to prevent future occurrences.
• Coloboma of Iris: Protecting your vision starts with preventative care; early detection of iris coloboma during routine eye exams helps manage this congenital condition and prevent severe vision loss later in life.
• Watering Eyes: Preventative eye care includes addressing watering eyes, which could be a symptom of a more serious issue; early intervention through regular checkups can maintain your eye health.
• Diabetic Retinopathy: Early detection of diabetic retinopathy through routine eye exams allows for timely intervention, potentially preventing severe vision impairment or blindness.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Anastasia OD:

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

An optometrist, like Dr. Anastasia OD, is a primary eye care provider. They perform comprehensive eye exams, prescribe glasses and contact lenses, and diagnose and manage many eye conditions. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who are also eye surgeons.

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

Even if you see well, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is crucial for early detection of silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. These exams go beyond vision and help ensure the health of your eyes.

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 the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing our doctors to identify potential issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. A dilated eye exam can reveal these early warning signs.

When should my child have their first eye exam?

Dr. Anastasia OD recommends a comprehensive eye exam for children between 6 and 12 months of age. This early exam is essential to detect potential issues like lazy eye or misaligned eyes, ensuring proper vision development.

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. It comes in "dry" and "wet" forms, and regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management to preserve vision.

Is it safe to buy contact lenses online without an exam?

No, it is unsafe and illegal to purchase contact lenses online without a comprehensive eye exam. Contact lenses are medical devices that sit directly on the eye, and a proper fitting and annual exam with Dr. Anastasia OD is essential to ensure the lenses fit correctly and are not damaging your eye, which can prevent serious infections and vision loss.

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. Anastasia OD focuses on maximizing remaining vision through tools like magnifiers, special lighting, and adaptive devices to help patients 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.
