General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  Glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration are just a few of the common eye diseases which affect older patients. Even if your vision is fine, annual eye health exams can detect eye and systemic diseases in the early stages when it is easier to prevent vision loss. Help maintain quality of life with good eye care. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and taking certain medications are especially at risk for eye diseases and vision loss.
• Emergency Care
  Usually, by the time you arrive we will already have received information from your visit at Urgent Care. We will numb your eye so that it is comfortable for the examination, which is when we will measure your level of vision and check the extent of damage to the cornea through staining (using a colored dye to detect eye damage).

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is not a single disease. It is actually a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve due to an increase in pressure inside the eye, which is called intraocular pressure (IOP). When detected in the early stages, glaucoma can often be controlled, preventing severe vision loss and blindness. However, symptoms of noticeable vision loss often only occur once the disease has progressed. This is why glaucoma is called “the sneak thief of sight†. Unfortunately, once vision is lost from the disease, it usually can’t be restored.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Katie is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. She has served on an international mission trip to provide free eye care to patients in the Dominican Republic with VOSH (Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity) and hopes to continue to offer her time and knowledge to this honorable cause. Dr. Katie is a board member of the Medan Initiative, a local organization with the mission to provide sustainable medical care to the poorest and most vulnerable children through partnerships with schools and organizations in Ethiopia.
• Macular Degeneration
  Orthokeratology, or “ortho-k,†is an overnight process of vision correction that leaves your child free of daytime eyewear. Along with the convenience of not having to wear glasses or contacts during the day, ortho-k has been shown to slow down or even stop the progression of a child’s myopia. An additional — yet compelling — benefit is the reduced risk of developing serious ocular conditions and diseases later in life, such as macular degeneration and retinal detachment.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Do you want to be glasses and contacts-free but don’t qualify for laser eye surgery? Or, perhaps you’re concerned with surgery-related complications and desire a safer option? Imagine waking up every morning with clear and sharp vision. Thanks to these specialty lenses, you don’t have to wear glasses or contacts during the day, and best of all — it’s surgery-free.
• Cataracts
  This condition affects children around the globe and is the most common chromosomal abnormality. Common eye disorders detected in children with Down Syndrome include strabismus, tear duct abnormalities, keratoconus (misshaped cornea) and congenital cataracts. Specialized eye exams for kids with Down Syndrome can drastically improve quality of life, as they allow eye doctors to identify vision difficulties early and recommend helpful, corrective treatments. Eyewear for Down Syndrome includes designs that accommodate unique facial features, such as a low nasal bridge and modified temples that help keep eyeglasses snug and comfortable over the ears. Kids’ eyeglasses will be constructed from flexible, resilient materials that stand up to tough use!
• Cataract Surgery
  My son 2 months old saw Dr. Kathryn Andrews today. He had cataract surgery at 7 weeks old. She was very knowledgeable and very sweet at explaining everything for us. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an eye doctor for children.
• Eye Exam
  *DISCLAIMER: This quiz is not designed to constitute advice as to your visual health or, more particularly, to provide a diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis for vision problems and conditions can only be made by an eye practitioner following a complete eye examination. Myopia (nearsightedness) can cause serious eye conditions, especially later in life. If your child has myopia, fill in the quiz below and your eye doctor will contact you to discuss their risk of myopia progression and how it can be prevented.

Neurologists

• Autism
  According to a 2014 report issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 1 in every 68 kids in the U.S. is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Vision conditions, such as trouble with focusing, eye teaming and general problems with perception, are common in people with autism. In general, kids with autism will find it hard to make eye contact and recognize facial expressions, and they’ll feel stress when others gaze directly at them. However, the effects of ASD on vision are highly individual.

Dermatologists

• Dermatology
  Amanda joined the team in December 2022, bringing 10 years of experience in healthcare including emergency medicine, dermatology, and geriatrics. Amanda enjoys working alongside our doctors while learning about the field of Optometry. She especially enjoys the days that include pediatric patients! Outside of OA, Amanda enjoys spending time outdoors and with her family and friends.Â
• Ulcer
  Patients who are not a good candidate are those who are in an active disease state (i.e. a current infectious bacterial corneal ulcer) or patients who have over-hanging blebs. Eye Print Prosthetic Devices offer hope and help to patients who truly have no visual options left.
• Eczema
  Those with a family history of keratoconus are more likely to develop it, as well as those with atopic disease, such as severe allergies and eczema. S
