Medical Eye Care
Evaluation, treatment, and ongoing monitoring for eye symptoms and medical conditions in Decatur.
Is a Medical Eye Exam Right for You?
A medical eye exam addresses a symptom, diagnosed condition, or concern about the health of your eyes — not simply an updated glasses or contact lens prescription.
Schedule medical eye care if you are experiencing:
Red, painful, irritated or unusually watery eyes
New flashes, floaters, or sudden vision changes
Blurry vision that is not corrected by your glasses
Concerns related to diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts or macular degeneration
A family history of glaucoma
A previously diagnosed eye condition that requires monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a medical eye exam?
A medical eye exam focuses on diagnosing, monitoring, and managing eye diseases, infections, injuries, and vision-threatening conditions.
Do I need a medical eye exam or a routine eye exam?
A comprehensive routine eye exam is a wellness check that evaluates vision and eye health. A medical eye exam is performed when symptoms, disease, or medical concerns require diagnosis and treatment.
Can glaucoma be detected during an eye exam?
Yes. Comprehensive testing and imaging can help detect glaucoma before noticeable vision loss occurs.
Can you evaluate flashes and floaters?
Yes. New flashes or floaters should be evaluated promptly to rule out retinal tears or other serious conditions.
