Optometry FAQs.
What are the primary patient duties of an optometrist?
An optometrist will perform an examination on your eyes to check for vision clarity and eye diseases. Once the tests are completed, interpreted and diagnosed, we will consult with you to determine the best course of action based on your medical needs and your lifestyle. This includes prescription of glasses or contact lenses.
Eye diseases such as dry eyes, allergies and glaucoma can be monitored and/or managed, including prescription of appropriate medicines for eye disease.
Are Annual Eye Exams Necessary?
Your visual health will determine the frequency of your appointments. Each individual is different, so this should be determined after a comprehensive eye exam. But there are some general rules.
For those that have excellent vision and eye health, every two years may be appropriate. We recommend annual visits for patients over 60 years old and those who need corrective lenses. Appointments for patients with eye diseases must be determined on a case by case basis. Please keep in mind that if a problem does arise, the sooner we can treat it, the better the long-term outcome.
20/20 vision - What does it mean?
The sharpness or clarity of vision is tested using the Snellen chart. Normal vision is 20/20. The first number is the distance of the patient from the eye chart when tested. The second number indicates the actual line number on the chart that you can read. Line 8 on the chart is the line that “normal” people can read at 20 feet, so it’s called 20/20. So at 20 ft you can read what normal sighted people can read at 20 ft.
Let’s say you can only read as far down the chart to Line 6 in your left eye, much larger size letters. Your vision in that eye is 20/30. So at 20 ft away, you can only read what normal people can read from 30 ft away.
Should my Eye Floaters concern me?
Yes and no. Floaters are an age related phenomenon that occur when proteins clump together and float inside the vitreous of the eyeball. As they float occasionally they cast a shadow on the retina which look like cobwebs or spots. Normally they are not harmful, just a part of the aging process, and most patients learn to ignore them. However, if they suddenly appear frequently or you see bright light flashes, you should contact us immediately.
Should I Sleep with My Contact Lenses in My Eyes?
In most cases, you should remove your contacts before sleeping even if they are extended wear. Leaving them in your eyes increases your risk of infection and decreases the oxygen supply to your eyes. There are some exceptions that are beyond the scope of this short answer. Contact us if you need more information.
