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

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. They differ from ophthalmologists (MDs), who are medical doctors and eye surgeons.

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 screen for silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, which often have no noticeable symptoms until significant damage occurs. Early detection allows for timely intervention and helps preserve your vision.

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

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam, including dilation, can detect early signs of systemic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases. The eye is the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, making it a valuable tool for overall health assessment.

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 your eye, and a proper fitting and annual exam with Dr. Jenna OD is essential to ensure proper fit and prevent eye damage, serious infections, and vision loss.

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 long and costly visit to the emergency room.

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. Dr. Jenna OD uses this to precisely detect and monitor diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.

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

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

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. Jenna OD can diagnose and monitor cataracts.
