Comprehensive Eye Exams
Preventive and routine eye exams are essential to maintaining good eye health. Often, eye and vision problems do not have obvious symptoms or signs but are diagnosed by a licensed optometrist. Early detection is key for best management of most eye and vision conditions. A comprehensive eye exam will include patient health history, visual acuity testing, and eye health evaluation.
Contact Lenses
At Riverbend Eye Care, we strive to meet all your eye and vision care needs. Corrective lens evaluations and prescription management are provided by our optometrist. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, Dr. Woodward will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle.
Emergency Eye Care
Emergency eye care is critical, especially when dealing with potentially sight-threatening conditions that require immediate attention. Riverbend Eye Care provides emergency eye care including the assessment and treatment of issues including traumatic injuries to the eye, sudden vision loss, severe eye infections, or foreign objects embedded in the eye. Patients will receive timely and effective care to safeguard their eye health.
iWellness
iWellness is a noninvasive scan that examines the eyes with unprecedented clarity not visible with traditional methods. This service provides early detection of minute changes to the retina associated with conditions like diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and many more.
Glasses & Sunglasses
Riverbend Eye Care can provide both exams and fittings for prescription glasses and sunglasses. Dr. Woodward will perform a detailed assessment of visual acuity and refractive errors to determine the precise prescription needed. A glasses fitting allows patients to select frames and lenses that best match their prescription and personal preferences. A proper fitting is crucial to avoid issues such as distortion or discomfort and to ensure that the glasses provide optimal visual clarity and support. Riverbend Eye Care proudly carries many designer and trendy frames to fit any personality and budget.
Pediatric Eye Exams:
Children need a comprehensive eye exam at ages:
-
- 6 to 12 months
- 3 years
- Just prior to starting kindergarten
- Every 2 years for children who do not need visual correction
- Annually for children with visual correction
A pediatric eye exam is a specialized evaluation tailored to the visual and developmental needs of children. Unlike standard eye exams, this process often involves engaging techniques to assess visual acuity, eye coordination, and depth perception in a way suitable for a child’s age and abilities. During the exam, Dr. Woodward will use age-appropriate tools and methods to gauge how well a child can see and track objects as well as test for common eye issues. Additionally, the exam may involve checking for proper eye alignment and assessing how the eyes work together. Early detection of vision problems through regular pediatric eye exams is crucial, as it can significantly impact a child’s learning, development, and overall quality of life.
Dry Eye Care
Dry eye care focuses on diagnosing and treating the discomfort and visual disturbances caused by insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears. Symptoms such as itching, burning, or a gritty sensation are common and can be affected by environmental factors like dry climate or prolonged screen use. Dr. Woodward works with patients to find the underlying cause of dry eyes to develop a treatment plan that aims to alleviate symptoms, protect the ocular surface, and improve overall eye comfort.
Cataract and Refractive Surgery Co-management
To correct eye conditions such as cataracts or refractive issues, surgery could be necessary. Riverbend Eye Care can help co-manage these surgeries. Dr. Woodward will coordinate care with the ophthalmologist performing the surgery to manage pre- and post- operative vision adjustments. This holistic approach ensures that patients achieve optimal visual outcomes and clear, comfortable vision.
Nutrition
Nutritional health plays a pivotal role in supporting and maintaining optimal eye health, as certain nutrients are essential for protecting and enhancing vision. A balanced diet rich in these nutrients not only helps prevent conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts but also supports overall eye function and visual clarity. Dr. Woodward excels at teaching patients about preventative nutrition and lifestyle adjustments that can positively affect eye health. Riverbend Eye Care carries nutritional supplements that enhance and protect ocular health.
