Below are brief descriptions of the various eye conditions we commonly see and treat at Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist in Petersburg.
There are many different types of eye conditions that could be affecting your eyesight or could have long-term consequences if not treated properly or promptly. We list some of the more common conditions below. If you think you or someone in your family has one of these conditions, please contact Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist in Petersburg for an exam and recommendations.
Lazy eye is not always easy to recognize since a child with worse vision in one eye does not necessarily have lazy eye. Because of this, it is recommended that all children, including those with no symptoms, have a comprehensive eye examination by the age of three and sooner if there is a family history of any eye condition or disease. If you suspect a problem, or need to set up your child’s first eye examination, contact Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist to set up an appointment.
Like some other skin conditions, blepharitis can be controlled but not cured. The main goals in treating it are to reduce the amount of bacteria along the lid margin and open plugged glands. Contact Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist to assess the severity of your problem and the best treatment method.
Since computer monitors are typically 20 to 26 inches from your eyes, your regular glasses may not be the best option for computer work. This distance range is considered intermediate – closer than what you use to drive a car but farther away than what you use to read. Special lens designs for computer work provide you with a larger intermediate area for viewing the computer and your immediate work area like the top of your desk. Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist can help you determine if these special lenses are appropriate for you.
Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman Optometrist has the experience and equipment necessary to diagnose and often treat the eye conditions detailed above at our office in Petersburg. For more information please schedule an appointment with Dr. Dorothy V. Freeman, and we will be in touch with you shortly.
