What Services Does Your Ophthalmologist Offer?
Our ophthalmologist provides a wide range of services, including routine eye exams, cataract surgery, glaucoma management, diabetic eye care, and treatment for macular degeneration. We also offer eyelid procedures and LASIK evaluations to help meet both medical and vision-related needs for patients of all ages.
How Is an Ophthalmologist Different From an Optometrist?
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD) who can diagnose and treat eye diseases, prescribe medications, and perform eye surgeries. Unlike an optometrist, who primarily handles vision exams and glasses prescriptions, an ophthalmologist has advanced medical and surgical training to manage complex eye conditions.
Do You Treat Patients in or Near Idaho Falls, ID?
Yes, we welcome patients from Idaho Falls, ID, and surrounding areas. Many of our frequent patients travel from nearby communities to receive advanced diagnostics and surgical procedures from our highly experienced eye specialist and support team at our Pocatello-based clinic.
What Should I Expect During an Exam With an Eye Specialist?
During an exam, our eye specialist will perform a series of tests to assess your vision and check for signs of disease. This may include dilation, imaging scans, and measurements tailored to your specific symptoms or concerns, ensuring you receive the most accurate and effective care plan.
When Should I See an Ophthalmologist for Eye Issues?
You should see an ophthalmologist if you experience sudden changes in vision, eye pain, floaters, flashes of light, or have been diagnosed with conditions like cataracts or glaucoma. Early evaluation by a qualified eye specialist is key to protecting your long-term vision and eye health.
