eyecare practioners, we provide comprehensive eye examinations for people of all ages from
4 years of age and above. We are proud to be one of the few offices in the Bay Area to have
state-of-the-art computer assisted equipment* to obtain the best prescription for you. The
result? Unparalleled precision and accuracy with each exam.
In addition, paper charts are a thing of the past! Instead we have implemented electronic
medical records (EMR). Instead of paper charts that can be lost or misfiled, everything will be
securely saved electronically. Accessing information will always just be a few keystrokes
away. We are one of just a few optometric practices doing EMR 100%. Health care is
changing rapidly and we are dedicated to keeping up-to-date in this dynamic field.
REVIEWS!
You will find the doctors at Eyeworks to be warm, caring, and passionate at
what they do. Each of us are unique individuals with distinct needs. We use
our eyes during every waking moment. Some of us spend a good portion of
our day in front of the computer. Others spend it on the road most of the day.
While others work hard and play hard outdoors.
After taking a thorough history, a refraction is performed to determine your
exact prescription. This is the basis for determining your best options.
Whatever the issues may be, the doctors at Eyeworks will tailor solutions for
you - solutions that work. Whether it’s glasses, contact lenses, laser eye
surgery or vision training, we can recommend options to fulfill your needs.
Then we take a careful detailed look at the health of your eyes. Under
magnification, we inspect first the front surface (anterior portion) of your eyes,
checking for cataracts and any other conditions that may be less than benign.
Next, we visually inspect the optic nerve further to screen for possible
glaucoma or other systemic diseases associated with optic nerve changes.
The actual eye pressure is then measured and recorded to further rule-out
glaucoma and other related issues.
Finally, we recommend dilating the eyes to have the inside of the eye, the
retina, examined further. The retina is the thin delicate tissue that lines the
inside of our eye, which allows us to perceive light and vision.
Like any medical procedure, the thoroughness of a dilated exam lies in the
hands of the doctor. This highly important procedure is the foundation of
preserving our vision. Not only does dilation allow us to have a detailed look
at the retina to detect holes/tears in advance that can lead to permanent vision
loss with a detached retina, a dilated exam can warn us of systemic diseases
the patient is unaware of, such as hypertension and diabetes. The dilation
portion can be done the same day or rescheduled for a future date at no
additional charge at the patient's convenience.
Should a referral ever be necessary, we work with a network of specialists
located nearby for seamless continuity of care.
Some practices may tout digital scans of the retina to be done in lieu of
dilation. It is our philosophy that the images captured by these devices with
current technology do not offer the clarity needed for proper diagnosis, if it is
detected at all due to its limitations in resolution and extent of view it provides.
Certainly none to few retinal specialists use these retinal scanners. So aside
from the extra cost of the scanning procedure, the doctors at Eyeworks feel
that traditional dilation still yields superior views of the retina.
