EYE EXAMS

If you're looking for a clinical examination of the eye, Dr. Wright offers different types of eye exams to evaluate your vision and eye health, including:

Good eye health and vision start with a comprehensive eye exam. Eye exams are just as critical as annual exams with your physician and cardiologist and other medical practitioners you see annually.

Comprehensive Eye Exam

A comprehensive eye exam is a clinical examination of your eye. Dr. Wright recommends an annual exam for adults and children starting age 5. For this exam. Dr. Wright inspects your eye's anatomy and eye health thoroughly. Depending on the initial results of the test, additional testing may be necessary.

Routine Eye Exam

For patients who need a basic eye exam to check on specific vision concerns, we can refer to this exam as a “routine eye exam.” What is the difference between a comprehensive eye exam vs. a routine eye exam? A routine eye exam is involves only the vision, pupil, eye movement, and eye pressure tests to assess eye health and look for refractive errors.

Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam is required to determine your depth perception, visual acuity, and general eye health before contacts can be prescribed. Typically, the appointment includes corneal topography and a tear film evaluation, in addition to the other tests needed for a comprehensive eye exam. You will also show you how to insert and remove your contacts.

MEDICAL EYE EXAMS

Glaucoma "The Silent Thief of Sight"

Glaucoma is known as “the sneak thief of sight.” There are no symptoms and once vision is lost due to glaucoma, it's permanent. As much as 40% of vision can be lost without a person even noticing. Half the people with glaucoma do not even know they have it.

Dry Eye

Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a problem with your retina. It is a leading cause of vision loss in people 50 years or older.

Diabetic Disease Diabetes can affect the eyes. Dr. Wright has extensive experience in the detection and treating of Diabetic retinopathy.

Eye Injury

You can't always tell when an eye is injured. Some injuries, such as raised eye pressure or a detached retina, are only obvious when they get really serious

Eye injuries can cause vision loss or blindness. That's why calling Dr. Wright as soon as possible is important, even if the injury seems minor at first. DO NOT attempt to treat a serious eye injury yourself.

Common causes of eye injuries include:

• Punches
• Blows from hands, balls or other sports equipment
• Flying pieces of material from explosions or industrial work
• Flying objects like bullets, darts, fireworks, bungee cords, and BBs
• Chemical splash
• Protests, riots or urban warfare

Common Symptoms of Eye Injury
If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone else, get medical help right away. These are signs of possibly serious eye injury:

• Ongoing pain in the eye
• Trouble seeing
• Cut or torn eyelid
• One eye does not move as well as the other
• One eye sticks out of the eye socket farther than the other
• The eye has an unusual pupil size or shape
• There is blood in the clear part of the eye
• The person has something in the eye or under the eyelid that tears and blinking can't remove

Foreign Body Removal

Foreign bodies on the cornea or conjunctiva can be removed by Dr. Wright with local anesthetic and specialized removal tools. This should be done promptly to avoid long-term complications. Important: DO NOT RUB YOUR EYE. Your eyes are a very sensitive organ and by rubbing your eyes you can scratch your cornea. If simple procedures like using water to rinse the eye does not easily dislodge the foreign body call for an appointment. Prescription as well as non -prescription safety eyewear is available from Wright Eye Care Center Optical

Double Vision

Double vision is seeing two, often overlapping, images of a single object.. If you have any unusual vision symptoms, please call Dr. Wright.

Pink/Red Eye

Flashes/Floaters

Styes

A stye (also called a hordeolum) is a small, red, painful lump that grows from the base of your eyelash or under the eyelid. Most styes are caused by a bacterial infection.

Watery Eyes

Your eyes can water or tear up for many reasons, including weather, allergies or, more seriously, an infection or dry eye. If you find yourself tearing up suddenly, pay attention to what you're doing or the environmental factors you're being exposed to when it occurs, as this might help explain why it's happening. If watery eyes persist, please call for an appointment with Dr. Wright. 296-297-2030

SURGICAL EYE CARE
