Services | Comprehensive Eye Examination-
Combining state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with 26 years of experience in the eye care world we examine the visual components of the eye (e.g. nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, etc.) and the eye health. In most cases a dilated fundus (back of the eye) examination (DFE) will be performed to evaluate all of the visible structures of the eye and determine the tendency towards progression to eye disease (e.g. glaucoma, high blood pressure changes, etc.). A complete refraction will be performed to determine not only the prescription necessary to give quality distance vision but the impact on the comfort of the vision by that prescription. The refraction will determine the need for a prescription for near work that may be in some cases totally different from the distance prescription. A complete slit lamp examination (SLE) will be performed to determine, among other things, the health of the front of the eye (cornea) and the potential to have eye pressure problems (glaucoma). There will be automated equipment used before you see the doctor that will analyze the prescription, curvature of the cornea and in some cases the surface topography of the cornea.
Contact Lens Evaluations-
In addition to the comprehensive examination, diagnostic contact lenses must be placed on the eye to determine the many parameters and variables that go into a well fit contact lens. The evaluation does not stop at the time of the fitting but continues until it has been determined that the vision, comfort, fit and eye health are optimum which might take several visits. Lenses are individually fit for each patient.
You may also re-order your contact lenses on-line directly from our website. (www.drrsterling.com)
Eyewear Optical Department "IT'S WORTH A GOOD LOOK"
The office mission is to provide quality eye care for every member of the family, giving you reliable, convenient, dependable, and predictable, quality care while being responsive to your needs as we utilize modern technology and the highest quality products. We have recently (July 2008) expanded our optical services to include over 800 frames. The laboratories that we choose to “finish” the pair of glasses (put lenses in the frame) are high quality experienced craftsman who will show the same attention to detail as we have tried to display over the last three decades. One of our goals for each and every one of our patients is to improve the quality of your vision and by utilizing some of the very special coatings and/or treatments of the lenses that are available we can accomplish that goal.
We know the anxiety of your frame purchase so in June of 2008 Barry Tepper joined our practice. He comes with many years of experience and will oversee the optical portion of the practice. Barry has worked in the past for some of the world’s largest optical companies. He will be more than happy to help you choose the right frame and lens options for your specific needs.
Stop in and visit our beautiful new optical department. We are carrying a full line of fashionable designer eyewear including brands such as Fendi, Kate Spade, Tourneau, Silhouette and Kliik. Our optical department also has many sports related frames like X-Games, Nike, Flexon and Rec Spec. For the children we are carrying some of the most adorable frames available, such as Disney and Power Rangers. Don’t forget your sunglasses when outside! Ultra violet light can harm your eyes whether you are young or old and we have a wonderful selection of sunglasses. Nine West, Tommy Bahama, Nautica and Fendi all make some incredible polarized sunwear for those of you that spend time in the car or on the water. As a combination pair of glasses you might want to consider our selection of magnetic clip-on glasses (sun lens as a clip-on) or Transition® lenses which change their color when exposed to sunlight.
