Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Optometric care with Dr. Sarah-Marie 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 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 for most adults, even if your vision is good. These exams are not just about checking your vision, but also about detecting silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Early detection is key to preventing potential vision loss.

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. A dilated eye exam can reveal early signs of systemic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases.

When should my child have their first eye exam?

Dr. Sarah-Marie OD recommends a comprehensive eye exam for children between 6 and 12 months of age. This early exam is essential for detecting potential vision problems like lazy eye or misaligned eyes, which can affect a child's vision development if not addressed early.

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 are the signs of a cataract?

Common signs of cataracts include blurry or dim vision, increased glare, fading or yellowing of colors, and frequent changes in glasses prescription. Dr. Sarah-Marie OD can diagnose and monitor cataracts.

What is an OCT scan?

An OCT scan is an advanced imaging technology, similar to ultrasound but using light, to create incredibly detailed cross-sectional pictures of your retina and optic nerve. Dr. Sarah-Marie OD uses this to detect and monitor diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration with great precision.

Is it safe to buy contact lenses online without an exam?

No, it is unsafe and illegal to purchase contact lenses online without a professional eye exam. Contact lenses are medical devices that sit directly on the eye, and a proper fitting and annual exam with Dr. Sarah-Marie OD is essential to ensure the lenses fit correctly and are not damaging your eye, which can prevent serious infections and vision loss.
