Comprehensive Eye Exams:
 The comprehensive eye & vision examination is an important element in the evaluation of your overall health status.
The
primary expectation of most patients who visit Capital Eye Care is to
maintain clear vision. During your comprehensive eye exam, our doctors
will also provide you with important disease prevention and health
promotion ideas. As stated in the opening paragraph of the Home Page
of our website, “Lifelong Education” is a priority for our staff and we
take pride in educating our patients. Our state of the art and fully
animated computer software will assist you in better understanding many
eye conditions and different ways to treat them.
As primary
eye care providers, our doctors have the expertise to examine, diagnose,
treat and manage a wide variety of ocular pathologies. For some
patients, the need for additional systemic tests (for Diabetes, High
Blood Pressure and others) may be detected during the comprehensive eye
exam. We may need to coordinate your care with your PCP
(Primary Care Physician) and other health care providers to take care
of your overall health.
In addition to screening for Glaucoma,
Cataracts, Macular Degeneration and other ocular diseases, our doctors
will also provide you with an accurate prescription to update your
glasses. The need for bifocals, computer glasses, reading glasses or
other safety and sports glasses will be discussed in detail, so come to
your appointment with all of your visual demands and questions in mind.
Contact Lens Fittings:
Contact
Lens fitting is another service that we provide for our patients. We
pride ourselves in providing our patients with the most advanced
contact lenses on the market. The newest contact lenses that are
available, will not only enhance your comfort throughout the workday,
but can also allow for a clearer vision and a longer wear time.
We
are proud to have a close relationship with all of the major contact
lens companies in the United States and strive to provide our contact
lenses for the lowest possible price to our patients.
There are two major categories of contact lenses; they include:
- Soft Contact Lenses
- Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
 Each
category has its own advantages. By far the most popular contact
lenses that are prescribed today are the soft contact lenses. Soft
contact lenses provide superior comfort and great convenience. our doctors will discuss with you the options that will best fit your needs.
The major modalities for soft contact lenses include: Quarterly
Replacement, Monthly Disposable, Two Week Disposable and Daily
Disposable.
The Contact Lens Solutions that you use to clean
and disinfect your contact lenses, can also make a difference on your
overall contact lens experience. At the time of your contact lens
fitting, please feel free to ask our doctors about any of the major
solutions on the market (including the generic options). Not all
solutions are the same; we will gladly educate you about the benefits
of the newer solutions on the market.
Gas Permeable contact
lenses can also enhance your quality of vision. For some patients the
shape of the cornea or the strength of the prescription does not allow
for the use of soft contact lenses. Others find that gas permeable
lenses, simply provide for a clearer and more crisp vision. Gas
permeable contact lenses have many advantages. If you are interested
in learning more about the advantages of gas permeable contact lenses,
please contact our office or ask our Doctors during your initial contact
lens fitting.
