Our comprehensive eye exam includes a complete health and eye history, a thorough eye health evaluation including testing for cataracts, glaucoma, damage related to diabetes or hypertension, and macular degeneration. A computer assisted refraction allows us to determine the exact prescription for lenses. Would you like to avoid having your eyes dilated? Our OPTOMAP retinal imager is a scanning laser device used to create a digital image of the inside of the eye (retina) in a fraction of a second! Dr. Pittman will then explain the results of the examination and make recommendations to meet your visual needs. The OPTOMAP scanning laser is a quick, comfortable test that allows the earliest detection and monitoring of retinal changes from common diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.

The Optomap, a scanning laser device used to create a digital image of your retina, allows for the earliest detection of diseases such as glaucoma, retinal detachments, macula degeneration, and retinal damage from diabetes or hypertension.

Few things affect the quality of your life more than your eyes. Please don't put them at risk! Start off right by coming to Professional Eyecare where we provide full-service care. We assess your medical needs, your lifestyle, and provide the highest quality contact lenses available. Contact lenses are not right for everyone, but they may be right for you. Even if you have an astigmatism or require bifocal lenses, we probably have a solution.

It is important to remember that contact lenses are prescription medical devices. Various brands are designed and manufactured differently. The selection of a particular contact lens needs to be based on your vision problems, prescription, eye health, comfort requirements, lifestyle, age, and physiological factors like tear flow. We'll discuss the different lens types and brands with you and advise you about the lens choices that are best for your eyes. We'll teach you how to properly clean and wear your new contact lenses to maximize vision and minimize potential risks.

MEDICAL DISEASES OF THE EYE Eye problems range in severity, and many of them are easily and safely treated. Some diseases, however, are more complex and require the intervention of a specialist. We can help make the diagnosis and put together a treatment plan to solve the problem. (Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the United States.) Glaucoma is called the "silent thief of sight" because there is no pain, no noticeable symptoms, and no cure. Good news! Glaucoma can be controlled and vision can be preserved - IF DETECTED EARLY. Our GDX Nerve Fiber Analyzer is a fast, comfortable and non-intrusive scanning laser exam that provides the earliest possible detection of glaucoma. In fact, the GDX evaluates damage before vision loss is experienced.

Our nerve fiber analyzer helps us remain a leading glaucoma clinic.
