At our vision practice, our expert optometrist is Dr. Kellie Stennis. If you have not had a comprehensive eye exam in some time, you will want to come in to see our eye doctor. It is very important to have eye exams on a regular basis to make sure that your eyes are staying healthy. Even if you do not have any symptoms that you are concerned about, it is important to know that there are many eye diseases and disorders which show no symptoms in the early stages. However, if left to go treated, they can cause permanent vision damage. For example, glaucoma is an eye disease which has such slight symptoms in the early stages that most patients are not even aware that they have the disease. However, they are diagnosed when they come into see us for a comprehensive eye exam. If you have an eye disease like glaucoma, that is diagnosed in the early stages, it can be easily treated by using medicated eye drops. These eye drops will be able to keep the glaucoma from advancing. You will not need to lose sight to this disease. However, if left undiagnosed, the glaucoma could advance to the point where permanent optic nerve damage occurs. Having eye care in Brighton in the form of a comprehensive eye exam is a very important part of protecting your and your family’s good eye health.
At our practice, patients can have comprehensive eye exams, contact lens exams and fittings, macular degeneration screenings, glaucoma evaluation and screenings, and diabetic screenings. If you have diabetes, you are prone to developing diabetic retinopathy due to elevated blood sugar levels. Diabetic retinopathy can also cause permanent vision damage, and should be closely monitored and treated to avoid permanent vision problems. As part of a comprehensive vision exam or eye exam, your eyes will be thoroughly checked for any refractive errors. If it is determined that you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, our optometrist will write a vision prescription for you which will have you seeing clearly again.
