Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Kevin 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 contacts, and manages many eye conditions. Ophthalmologists (MDs) are medical doctors specializing in eye surgery.

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. These exams aren't just about your vision; they're about detecting silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy early, when treatment is most effective.

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

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam can detect other health problems. The eye is the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing our doctors to spot early signs of systemic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases during a dilated eye exam.

What is an OCT scan?

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

What is 'low vision' and how can you help?

Low vision is vision impairment not fully correctable with glasses, contacts, or surgery. A low vision evaluation with Dr. Kevin OD focuses on maximizing remaining vision through tools like magnifiers and special lighting, helping patients maintain independence.

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

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

What are the signs of a cataract?

Common signs of a cataract include blurry or dim vision, increased glare from lights, fading or yellowing of colors, and frequent changes in glasses prescription. Dr. Kevin OD can diagnose and monitor cataracts.

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, which is a leading cause of blindness. Early stages often have no symptoms, so an annual dilated eye exam allows Dr. Kevin OD to detect any changes early and arrange treatment to prevent vision loss.
