Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Jonathan 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. 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 aren't just about your vision; they help detect silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Early detection is key for preserving your sight.

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 problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases.

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. Jonathan OD can diagnose and monitor cataracts to ensure your eye health.

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

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

When should my child have their first eye exam?

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

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

Dry eye is a very common condition. Dr. Jonathan 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.

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

Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in your retina, 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. Jonathan OD to detect changes early and arrange treatment to prevent vision loss.
