In keeping with our philosophy of comprehensive, quality eye care, Vision Center PC provides our patients with services including:
• diagnosis and treatment of conditions correctable with glasses and contact lenses
• diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases including glaucoma, diabetes, pink eye, dry eyes, and macular degeneration.
We are equipped to see children of all ages, including newborns. We provide testing and treatment for amblyopia (lazy eye). We also provide yearly diabetic eye examinations and digital imaging to more accurately track progression. We have the latest glaucoma diagnostic equipment available to our profession to more accurately monitor any progression.
We provide surgical consultation from our visiting ophthalmologists of Eye Surgeons Associates PC so you do not have to drive out of town. Our staff of visiting ophthalmologists includes Dr. Benevento who specializes in cataract surgery, Dr. Wagle who specializes in glaucoma surgery, and Dr. Frederick who specializes in pediatrics and muscle surgery.
A thorough eye exam usually includes dilation on the first visit to open the pupil to adequately view the retina for any eye disease. How often you will be dilated depends on the health of your eye and age. For those who have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, or are taking high-risk medications such as plaquenil, we will dilate yearly. Your eye exam also includes binocular vision testing, refraction to determine your glasses prescription, a thorough slit lamp exam, and simply testing of the eye's pressure without using any puff of air. Your optometrist will use this data to determine what treatment or prescription best fits your needs. |
