FAQs
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
In some cases, the necessity for a referral depends on the purpose of your visit and the type of insurance you carry. Please feel free to reach out to us and our team will gladly guide you through the appointment scheduling process, including any necessary prior authorizations.
When should I consider obtaining an eye exam?
While it is advisable for all healthy adults to undergo a comprehensive eye examination with an ophthalmologist at the age of 40, there are various other circumstances that may warrant a visit to our clinic:
- Suspected eye infection
- Following an acute eye injury
- Noticing changes in vision or sudden blurriness
- Experiencing new floaters or flashes in your vision
- Suffering from double vision
- Experiencing a sudden loss of vision
- Developing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or other systemic health issues
- Receiving a recommendation from your general health practitioner (GP) or referral from an optometrist
What is the difference between an eye exam and a refraction?
A comprehensive eye exam consists of a series of tests to determine overall eye health and identify potential or existing diseases of the eye that can cause vision loss. A refractive exam for glasses or contact lenses is additional testing to fit the patient in the best glasses or contact lenses for their eye and prescription.
Will my eyes be dilated during an eye exam?
Dilation is necessary for most patients to ensure a thorough exam is performed. Dilation usually affects near vision the most, leaving distance vision relatively unchanged. This means that with a good pair of sunglasses, most people are able to comfortably drive. If you are concerned about this, however, we suggest you bring someone with you to drive.
What happens during an eye exam?
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as indicators of your overall health. If requested by the patient, the eye doctor will determine if you require a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
What happens during a comprehensive eye exam?
Your exam begins with a thorough review of your medical history and vision concerns. We then perform various tests to check your visual acuity, eye pressure, and overall eye health using advanced diagnostic equipment. The appointment includes time to discuss our findings and address any questions you have about your eye health.
Do you welcome new patients at all three locations?
Yes, we actively welcome new patients at our Mandeville, Metairie, and Slidell locations. Our scheduling team will help you choose the most convenient location for your needs and guide you through any necessary paperwork before your first visit. We strive to make the process as smooth as possible for all new patients.
How do I know if my vision changes are serious?
Changes in vision like blurriness, floating spots, flashes of light, or eye pain should never be ignored. Our practice offers same-day appointments for urgent vision concerns, and our experienced team can quickly determine if your symptoms require immediate attention. We’ll provide clear guidance on managing your condition and necessary follow-up care.
What should I do to maintain healthy eyes between visits?
Protecting your eyes includes wearing UV-blocking sunglasses outdoors and taking regular breaks during screen time. We recommend following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and staying active can significantly benefit your eye health.
When should I seek immediate eye care?
Contact us at EyeCare 20/20 Retina & Vision Center immediately if you experience sudden vision changes, flashing lights, floating spots, eye pain, or injury. We also recommend urgent care for severe redness, light sensitivity, or if you notice a curtain-like shadow in your vision. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes for eye emergencies.
