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

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

An optometrist, like Dr. David OD, is a primary eye care provider who performs comprehensive eye exams, prescribes glasses and contacts, and manages many eye conditions. Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who specialize in surgery and more complex eye conditions.

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 for more than just checking your vision. It's a preventive measure to detect silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy early, before symptoms appear. Even if you see well, regular exams are essential for preserving your eye health.

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

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect other health problems. The eye is unique in that its blood vessels are visible without surgery, allowing for the early detection of systemic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases. A dilated eye exam can reveal these early signs.

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

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. David OD is essential to ensure the lenses fit correctly and are not damaging your eye, which can prevent serious infections and vision loss.

My eyes often feel dry and gritty. What can I do?

Dry eye is a very common condition. Dr. David OD can diagnose the underlying cause and recommend a personalized treatment plan, which may include prescription eye drops or in-office procedures, to improve your comfort and prevent damage.

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

Dr. David OD will diagnose your cataract, determine if surgery is necessary, and refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist. Following surgery, Dr. David OD will provide all essential post-operative care and vision correction follow-up.

I have diabetes. Why do I need a special dilated eye exam every year?

Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in your retina, a condition called diabetic retinopathy. This is a leading cause of blindness, but often has no symptoms in its early stages. An annual dilated eye exam allows Dr. David OD to detect changes early and arrange treatment to prevent vision loss.

What is an OCT scan?

An OCT scan is an advanced imaging technology, similar to an ultrasound but using light, to create incredibly detailed, cross-sectional pictures of your retina and optic nerve. This allows Dr. David to detect and monitor diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration with great precision.
