Eyecare Services
Dr. Schwartz strives to provide a comprehensive, primary eye care for the whole family. Preventative and routine eye exams are important to maintaining good eye health. Often, eye and vision problems do not have obvious symptoms or signs, but are easily diagnosed by a licensed optometrist. By diagnosing eye and vision conditions early on, Dr. Schwartz is able to provide treatment options and in many cases restore or prevent vision loss. The American Optometric Association recommends yearly or bi-yearly eye and vision exams, depending on whether you are at-risk or not.
Eye Exam and Consultation
During an eye exam, Dr. Schwartz will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, any blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. Dr. Schwartz will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.
Eye Functioning Testing
In addition to vision testing, an eye exam in our office includes testing eye functionality. Dr. Schwartz performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable Dr. Schwartz to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.
Eye Health
As part of a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Schwartz examines the overall health of the eye through a visual examination and tonometry. She evaluates eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structure of the eye, she may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so she utilizes tonometry to measure eye pressure. After completing these short tests, Dr. Schwartz reviews the results and discusses any treatments with you. Contact us at 718-263-5406 to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.
