The optometrist at our practice, is Dr. Sundip Patel. At Lone Star Vision Associates P.A. our entire team works hard to provide our patients with the finest in optometry services. We provide comprehensive eye exams for those patients who are getting a new contact lens prescription. It is important that your contact lenses fit your eyes well, as poor contact lens fittings can cause your cornea to become scratched, irritated or otherwise damaged. During a contact lens exam in New Braunfels your eyes will be thoroughly examined just as they are during a comprehensive eye exam. However, extra steps will be taken to make sure that your contacts will fit your eyes perfectly. Your eyes may also be tested for dry eye to make sure that you can comfortably wear contacts. Eyes that are constantly dry will become seriously irritated by contacts, unless the dry eye condition is treated. Dry eye treatment is generally easy and effective. However you do not want to postpone treatment as serious eye complications can develop.
During a Get the facts your eyes will also be tested for any refraction problems including astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness. Your eyes will also be examined and tested for signs of many eye diseases and conditions including: cataracts; macular degeneration; diabetic retinopathy; glaucoma; and problems of the retina. If any eye problems are detected, they may have an impact on your ability to wear contact lenses, at least for a while. Our optometrists may also be able to help with the treatment of some of these eye conditions, if found. Optometrists often work in conjunction with ophthalmologists to make sure that the patient is receiving medicines correctly, or healing well after LASIK surgery.
