It is very important that everyone has a complete eye exam on a yearly basis. If you cannot remember the last time you had an eye exam, or you know that it has been over a year ago, we hope that you will visit us at Wyckoff Ophthalmology for a complete eye exam in Ramsey.
At our vision practice, our expert ophthalmologist, Dr. Melanie Sinatra will be able to provide you with a complete eye exam which includes many different types of vision testing. During our eye exams patients will have their eyes tested for their visual acuity. If it is determined that a patient is nearsighted, farsighted, or has astigmatism, he or she will be able to have their vision corrected using either contact lenses or prescription eyeglasses. Today even patients with dry eye or astigmatism can comfortably and safely have their vision corrected using contact lenses. If you choose to get contact lenses, our ophthalmologist will need to take measurements of your cornea and iris to make sure that your new contacts will fit your eyes precisely. During our eye exam in Ramsey, our ophthalmologist will also screen your eyes for many different eye diseases and disorders. Among the eye diseases that you will be screened for are: glaucoma; macular degeneration; cataracts; diabetic retinopathy; dry eyes; retinal tears; and other problems of the cornea, macula, and retina. Our expert and highly trained ophthalmologist will be able to provide you with any eye care that you may need, including refractive cataract surgery. There are many serious eye diseases which show no symptoms in the early stages. Glaucoma is one such disease which if found early can be easily treated with medicated eye drops, and the patient does not need to lose any vision to this disease. However, when not diagnosed early and is allowed to progress, glaucoma can cause serious and permanent optic nerve damage. This is just one reason why you will want to have a periodic eye exam at our eye care practice.
