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

Even if you see well, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is crucial for early detection of silent, vision-threatening diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. These exams allow us to catch potential problems before symptoms appear, helping preserve your vision.

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

Yes, a comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Tejveer OD can detect early signs of systemic diseases. The eye is the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly without surgery, allowing for the potential detection of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers or autoimmune diseases.

What is glaucoma and why is it called the 'silent thief of sight'?

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to high pressure inside the eye. It's called the "silent thief" because it typically has no noticeable symptoms in its early stages, causing irreversible peripheral vision loss. Regular eye exams are the only way to detect glaucoma early and prevent blindness.

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. Tejveer OD can diagnose and monitor cataracts for you.

What is an OCT scan?

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

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. Tejveer OD focuses on maximizing remaining vision with tools like magnifiers and special lighting, helping patients maintain independence.

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

Dry eye is a very common condition. Dr. Tejveer OD 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.
