Dr. Cooney was really great and personable! He explained how lifestyle habits are affecting my eyes and talked through what I can do to prevent/improve my eyelid health. He also recommended an eyelid treatment that I never knew existed - after careful consideration, I think I would greatly benefit from it if I decide to do it

Eye Physicians FAQs

How Can I Find a Good Eye Doctor Near Me?

If you’re in search of an experienced nearby eye specialist with expertise in different subspecialties, follow this advice:

  • Seek recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues.
  • Search online for "eye dr near me," "eye specialist near me," or "eye doctor near me."
  • Explore online reviews and ratings for eye specialists in your area using platforms like Google Maps, Healthgrades, or Zocdoc.

Always prioritize board-certified doctors and investigate their experience—how long have they been practicing, and do they specialize in treating your specific eye condition? Once you’ve identified a suitable candidate, schedule a consultation or initial visit.

Do You Provide Pediatric Eye Care?

Yes, we provide comprehensive pediatric eye care, including eye exams, vision screenings, and treatment for various pediatric eye conditions. Our team is experienced in working with children and is committed to ensuring their comfort.

What Should I Do if I Experience a Sudden Change in Vision?

If you notice a sudden change in your vision without warning, it’s crucial to see an optometrist promptly. Cloudy spots, ocular pain, or random floaters accompanied by flashes of light are signs that it’s time to visit your optometrist and ensure your eyes are healthy.

When Should I See an Eye Doctor?

You should see an eye doctor when experiencing vision changes, discomfort, or unusual symptoms. If you notice blurriness, trouble focusing, or difficulty seeing at night, it could be an early sign of a vision problem. Frequent headaches, eye strain, or double vision are also reasons to schedule an appointment. Additionally, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye diseases like glaucoma, regular check-ups are essential.

Don't wait for severe symptoms; preventative care is important to maintain eye health. Schedule an appointment with an eye dr at My Eye Physicians to ensure your vision stays clear and healthy.

Can Eye Doctors Perform Surgery?

There are three main types of eye doctors: optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists, each playing a specific role in maintaining eye health. While optometrists handle general eye care and opticians fit and dispense corrective lenses, only ophthalmologists are qualified to perform surgeries for complex eye conditions.

At My Eye Physicians clinic, a skilled team of ophthalmologists offers comprehensive medical eye care, including surgical treatments. If you’re seeking advanced care or think you may need eye surgery, visit My Eye Physicians for expert consultation and treatment tailored to your needs. Schedule your appointment today to take the next step toward better eye health.

What Should I Bring to My Eye Doctor Appointment?

When attending your eye dr appointment, bring your current glasses or contact lenses, as well as a list of any medications you are taking. It's also important to have your medical and vision insurance information and details about your family's eye health history. If you experience specific symptoms or vision issues, be prepared to describe them. Bringing previous prescriptions or records from other eye exams can also help our doctors better assess your eye health.
