Eye & Vision Exam
If you are suffering from blurry vision, it may be time to contact an ophthalmologist near your or other eye doctor near you on our team at Monterey Bay Eye Center in Monterey, CA. After getting an exam from an optometrist on our team, you can get back on the road to better vision.
For more extensive eye conditions, especially those associated with pre-existing health problems, we have ophthalmologists on staff to help you get treatment you need.
What Is an Eye Exam?
When you receive an eye exam, our eye doctors will closely examine your eyes and perform several tests. Some of the tests are conducted to determine if you could benefit from contact lenses or prescription eyeglasses. Other vision tests are conducted to check for eye diseases and assess your overall eye health.
Our optometrist and ophthalmologist are knowledgeable in checking for issues such as glaucoma or other eye-related diseases. If you get your eyes checked regularly, you can get ahead of any eye problems and other issues that may threaten your eye health.
Glaucoma Doctor
If you are looking for a trusted glaucoma doctor, our eye care team is here to help. Glaucoma is an eye disease that attacks the optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain. Usually, the attack is caused by excess pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure. If untreated, you could lose your vision and become blind.
A few symptoms of glaucoma include:
• Blurred vision.
• Gradual loss of your side vision (known as your peripheral vision).
• Halos around lights.
• Narrowing field of vision (tunnel vision).
• Eye discomfort and pain.
Contributing factors to glaucoma may include age, genetics, overall health, and race. If you are noticing any of the symptoms listed above or you have a family member who has glaucoma, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with a glaucoma doctor on our team.
