What qualities do you expect in an optometrist? Well, at Quality Optical of Columbia, we make it a point to provide the highest level of service, treating you- our valued patient- as an important and unique individual. You can expect to not be rushed through, but rather to have your concerns taken seriously and your questions answered. We've served the community for over 20 years now and counting. Our Ellicott City eye doctor has made it the primary goal of our office to offer eye care that serves two vital purposes: first, to give you the optimal vision you're capable of having; and second, to help you prevent the effects of common eye diseases, with regular screenings and timely treatment and management where applicable.
The highest priority when it comes to your eyes is to keep them healthy. If your eyes sustain damage or loss of vision due to problems that can include cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and keratoconus, it diminishes your overall well-being and other smaller matters won't have much impact. And because most eye diseases do not reveal any symptoms to alert you to their presence until they have progressed, we recommend a yearly comprehensive eye exam with our Ellicott City eye doctor so that you can be checked for any indications of those diseases. This will give you the best odds of a positive outcome since early detection is associate with the best chances of good results.
In addition to keeping a lid on eye diseases, ensuring that you can see well at all distances is a big part of the service we offer. Your vision changes over time and even if you never needed eyeglasses or contacts before, you might need them now. It's also true that the corrective lenses you're wearing now, while perfect for you last year, might need updating this year. If they're not giving you the best vision you're capable of having, they're not doing the job our Ellicott City eye doctor intended them for. Luckily, as part of your eye exam, a determination can be made as to what level of prescription you need and any adjustments in it can be made and filled by our optician.
