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

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

An optometrist, like Dr. Hui OD, is a primary eye care provider who performs comprehensive eye exams, prescribes glasses and contact lenses, and manages many eye conditions. An ophthalmologist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor who specializes in surgery and complex eye diseases.

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

Even if you have good vision, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is crucial. These exams look beyond your eyesight, detecting silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Early detection is key to preserving your vision.

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

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Hui OD can detect other health problems. The eye is the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing for the early detection of systemic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases.

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. Hui OD focuses on maximizing remaining vision through tools like magnifiers, special lighting, and adaptive devices to help maintain independence.

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. Hui OD is essential to ensure correct fit and prevent eye damage, serious infections, and vision loss.

What is an OCT scan?

An OCT scan is an advanced imaging technology, similar to ultrasound but using light, to create incredibly detailed cross-sectional pictures of your retina and optic nerve. Dr. Hui OD uses this to precisely detect and monitor diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.

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

Dr. Hui OD plays a vital role in managing your cataract journey. We diagnose the cataract, determine when surgery is needed, and refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist. We then provide all essential post-operative care and follow-up vision correction.

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 lengthy and costly trip to the emergency room.
