Eyes been checked at the hospital or specialist?
As health care has evolved, specialist eye doctors (ophthalmologists) have become even more specialised. If your eyes need specialist medical care, you also still need your optometrist eye care.
What we do is different to the specific medical treatment say for glaucoma. We ensure that you continue to have the best focus vision, and milder conditions like dry eyes are well managed.
We frequently find that our appointments with these people include more discussion about their eye condition, and regularly will provide an update about their vision to their ophthalmologist. These people appreciate that they don't need to see us as often as their specialist, usually just every 2 years and we help keep them seeing and looking their best.
