Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Reanne 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 diagnoses 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?

A comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is crucial, even if you see well. These exams look beyond your vision, detecting silent 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 can detect early signs of systemic diseases. The eye is unique in that its blood vessels are visible without surgery, allowing for the detection of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. A dilated eye exam can reveal these early signs.

When should my child have their first eye exam?

Dr. Reanne OD recommends a comprehensive eye exam for children between 6 and 12 months of age. This early exam is vital for detecting potential issues like lazy eye or misaligned eyes, ensuring proper vision development.

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

Dry eye is very common. Dr. Reanne OD can diagnose the cause and recommend a personalized treatment plan, potentially including prescription eye drops or in-office procedures, to improve your comfort and prevent further issues.

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

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 retina responsible for sharp central vision. There are "dry" and "wet" forms, and regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management to preserve sight.

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 the eye, and a proper fitting and annual exam with Dr. Reanne OD is essential to ensure the lenses fit correctly and prevent potential eye damage, infection, and vision loss.
