When should you see an eye doctor (Ophthalmologist)? https://harborsideeye.com/when-should-you-see-an-eye-doctor-ophthalmologist/ Thu, 18 Aug 2022 17:55:35 +0000 https://harborsideeye.com/?p=124 When you should see your eye doctor (Ophthalmologist)

The frequency of performing eye screening exams depends on the patient’s age and risk of having an eye disorder. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the following guidelines:

  • Before age 5: Toddlers should be screened for common childhood problems; such as crossed eye, lazy eye, nearsightedness, and farsightedness
  • Age 20-29: At least once during this period
  • Age 30-39: At least twice during this period
  • Age 40: Comprehensive ophthalmic exam for all adults- future frequency of exams determined from this exam
  • Age 65 and over: Every one to two years

Individuals at higher risk for eye disease should be examined more often:

  • Diabetics (annually)
  • African Americans over 40 (glaucoma)
  • History of high blood pressure
  • Family history of eye disease, or history of
    eye injury

See an Eye MD (Ophthalmologist) promptly if you experience:

  • Visual changes or eye pain
  • Flashes of light
  • Floaters (spots) or ghost-like images
  • Distorted or wavy lines
  • Foreign body
  • Chemical injury
  • Red eyes
  • Dry eyes
  • Itching or burning

“No Needle / No Stitch / No Patch”
Cataract Surgery

This is a true innovation in cataract surgery and safer than other conventional methods.

Dr. Daniel Solano joins a select group of prominent surgeons in the U.S. by offering a clear corneal incision, with TOPICAL anesthesia for cataract removal. This procedure is known as “No Needle / No Stitch / No Patch” cataract surgery.

  • Less Risk, Safer Surgery
  • Quicker Recovery

Vision after surgery is more rapid because the eye is not “put to sleep” with a needle injection. Instead, painless numbing eye drops are used. It should be noted, however, that the vision may be somewhat blurred the first day due to dilation of the pupil. Read more…
