Emergency Care
Studies have shown that an overwhelming number of emergency room visits could have been treated by an optometrist. These ranged from foreign bodies to severe eye allergies to eye infections as the most common reasons for emergency room visits. It is not always necessary to go to an emergency room for eye emergencies. Optometrists are equipped to treat the majority of eye emergencies.
Getting your prescription checked by your doctor is the best way to keep your eye wear current and your eyes in good health. Eye diseases such as glaucoma display no symptoms until full onset has occurred; this is a disease that can be prevented through detection and maintenance. In addition, prescription changes do not necessarily reveal themselves through secondary symptoms. Changes in the amount of myopia (near-sightedness) or hyperopia (far-sightedness) occurring can be masked by the eye muscles straining to accommodate for the change. This does not always reveal itself by way of headaches or noticeable eye strain.
Ophthalmology
As you age, your risk of eye disease and vision problems rises. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, adults age 65 and older should have their eyes evaluated thoroughly.
Macular Degeneration
The Optos Daytona Optomap retinal exam is revolutionizing how eye exams are performed. While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. This screening can lead to early detection of common diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, and even cancer.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK - Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis -is the most common refractive eye surgery today. As of 2011, over 11 million LASIK procedures have been performed in the United States and as of 2009 over 28 million have been performed worldwide.
Cataracts
Ultraviolet Coating: This virtually clear coating blocks UVA, UVB, and UVC bands of ultraviolet light waves. Effective in reducing the risk of cataract development. Sources include fluorescent lighting as well as natural lights. Especially important in high altitude areas where there’s more light exposure to UV.
Cataract Surgery
Anti-Reflective Treatment: An extremely thin, clear lens treatment that virtually eliminates reflection. By allowing all available light to pass through the lens, this coating reduces eyestrain produced by glare and reflection from headlights and computer monitors, increases contrast and improves clarity. Cosmetically, this lens also enables others to see your eyes more clearly. Anti-Reflective coating is an excellent choice for public speakers, those working with computers, or those patients experiencing difficulty with night time driving also great for patients after Cataract Surgery.

The optic nerve connects the eye directly to the brain and is to some extent an extension of the central nervous system. Swelling or inflammation of the optic nerve can therefore be viewed as an early sign of multiple sclerosis. Although this kind of swelling can also indicate a number of other ailments or even a viral infection or vitamin deficiency, about 20% of people with multiple sclerosis first experienced swelling of the optic nerve.
One of the main risks of diabetes is a condition called diabetic retinopathy, which is associated with consistently elevated blood sugar levels, and can result in damage to the blood vessels and leakage of fluid onto the retina and macula. This can lead to significant vision loss, including blindness: Timely detection and treatment, combined with a healthy lifestyle and diet, can help minimize the impact of both diabetes and diabetic retinopathy.
