The Why behind the What…
An eye exam is not just the quick and dirty thing that you have to do in order to pick new glasses, and those glasses are not just a fashion accessory.
Everyone needs a “family eye doctor” who practices medical optometry to help ensure lifelong better vision and overall health, and who believes that there is no sense in doing anything less than perfectly.
Glasses are an ophthalmic appliance, which means that there is a precise science behind selecting, fabricating, and fitting them … although eyeglass fashion also happens to be a lot of fun.
Diabetes and
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Did you know that diabetes and age-related macular degeneration are the most common causes of vision loss in working-age adults and seniors, respectively?
These conditions, like most, are managed most effectively when they’re diagnosed early, something that regular dilated eye examinations can facilitate. Following your exam, your optometrist can determine the follow-up schedule that is most appropriate for you as an individual.
If you have diabetes or are over the age of 65 (or both), please make sure that you get your eyes (and general health) checked regularly.
Continuing Education …
… we are filled with wonder for what we do, and are addicted to discovery … we pursue every opportunity for education, actively seeking out the best, understanding that knowledge is power and the currency for better patient care.
A Servant’s Heart …
… means that we treat our patients as if we were the patient, for no other reason than it is the right thing to do, intentionally setting aside personal agendas, making decisions based upon best care only, and accepting any economic benefits that follow as secondary.
Honest and Open Communication …
… truth is the only way to go, and our thoughts, words, and actions will take this path with everyone, every time, in the most loving way possible.
The Best in Services and Products …
… means that our recommendations to patients are always governed by “the best for the least” principle, recognizing that the most expensive option is not necessarily the best, but the cheapest is very likely the worst, maximizing the value equation to enhance our patients’ quality of life.
