• Macular Hole: Regular eye exams are essential for detecting macular holes early, since timely intervention can help prevent blindness or significant vision loss caused by this condition.
• Aphakia: Aphakia is the absence of your eye's natural lens, often resulting from cataract surgery complications, and regular eye exams can help detect and manage potential problems early to prevent further vision loss.
• Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition where fluid leaks under the retina, affecting your central vision, and regular eye exams help detect it early to prevent vision loss.

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

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

An optometrist, like Dr. Kranston OD, is a primary eye care provider who performs comprehensive eye exams, prescribes glasses and contact lenses, and diagnoses and manages many eye diseases. Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who are also eye surgeons.

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 are vital for detecting silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, often before symptoms appear. It's a proactive approach to 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 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.

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

Dry eye is a very common condition. Dr. Kranston 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 is 'low vision' and how can you help?

Low vision is vision impairment not fully correctable with glasses, contacts, or surgery. Dr. Kranston OD performs a low vision evaluation to help maximize remaining vision through tools like magnifiers and adaptive devices, promoting patient independence.

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 trip to the emergency room.

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

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

What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp, central vision. There are "dry" and "wet" forms, and regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management to preserve vision.
