High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Dr. Burrell exudes confidence and calmness in caring for his patients. He is highly respected and engages his patients in their care through extensive patient education. Dr. Burrell earned a B.A. in Philosophy from University of Scranton and a B.S. in Visual Science and O.D. degree from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. He serves on the Allied Health Medical Staff at Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center (inpatient consults and Emergency Department eye care).

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye where the optic nerve (the electrical cord connecting your eye to your brain) experiences progressive degeneration which can lead to blindness if untreated.
Ophthalmology
Help us welcome an eye doctor to our Myerstown PA location! We are happy to welcome the practice of Dr. Albert Alley, MD to our Myerstown office. As of May 4, 2016, Dr. Alley will begin providing medical/non-surgical ophthalmology services on a part-time basis, by... read more
Macular Degeneration
Wyomissing Optometric Center is the first optometric practice in Berks County to implement the AdaptDxPRO®, a new portable technology to aid in the early diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of adult blindness in developed countries. Early diagnosis is key to slowing down the progression of the disease process. MacuLogix introduced the original AdaptDx® in 2014 as the first fully-automated dark adaptometer for clinical use. Since then, hundreds of practices and thousands of eye care professionals have been using dark adaptation to diagnose and monitor AMD.
Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive surgery includes several types of vision-correcting surgeries, most commonly LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis) and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). Both surgeries correct vision by surgically reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser which allows the light to be focused clearly onto the retina without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Cataracts
We all have a natural lens within our eyes, behind the iris (the colored part of your eye). Over time, as part of the natural aging process, that lens becomes cloudy. The cloudy lens is what the term cataract describes. Everyone, as we grow older, will develop a cataract, but not all cataracts will require surgery.
Eye Exam
The demand for our services at our Douglassville office is growing and our top priority is providing exceptional eye care while accommodating our patients’ scheduling needs. The expansion at our Douglassville office will add several new eye exam rooms, double our optical service and frame selection and add another full-time doctor to our professional staff, giving us 7 doctors in all. More staff to support this expansion will also make the patient care experience even better as well as expanded hours. And, of course, our Douglassville location offers convenient parking and handicap accessibility. As a leader in eye care in Berks and surrounding regions, Wyomissing Optometric Center continues to provide our patients with the latest technology in vision and medical eye health care. Our ongoing commitment to our patients is reflected in how we re-invest in our practice to provide the Best Care in Sight! Our project is expected to be completed by the Fall. Here is a sneak peek of our exciting expansion!

Multiple Sclerosis
Furthermore, your eye health can tell your optometrist a lot about your overall health. Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood clotting disorders, multiple sclerosis, and certain brain tumors and strokes, can cause changes viewable by your eye doctor to diagnose these conditions as well. This is why we recommend regular dilated eye examinations whether you have perfect 20/20 vision or even if you have no vision.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
A new study shows a link between ADHD and vision impairment in children. So, if your child has vision problems, should you be worried about them developing ADHD? “I wouldn’t worry about them developing ADHD,” DeCarlo said. “But if they seemed to have symptoms of ADHD... read more
Mental Health
Protected health information (PHI), about you, is maintained as a written and/or electronic record of your contacts or visits for healthcare services with our practice. Specifically, PHI is information about you, including demographic information (i.e., name, address, phone, etc.), that may identify you and relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health condition and related healthcare services.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels in the retina (the lining in the back of the eye that holds all the cells that we see with). Diabetes causes the blood vessels to weaken and they can leak blood, water, and/or cholesterol. New, abnormal, weak blood vessels can grow in the eye and are at risk to hemorrhage.

Lesions
Although not everyone is a candidate for Optomap, it is a useful “screening” tool that allows otherwise healthy individuals to defer the frequency of dilation. Optomap may be used to photodocument retinal lesions for medical monitoring. We understand that a dilated eye examination is sometimes uncomfortable for patients and the side effects of the drops (light sensitivity and mild blurred vision) last for a few hours. Most importantly, your eye health and the early diagnosis of eye disease outweighs the convenience of an Optomap screening. Optomap is also not covered by insurance and a fee is charged for the service.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
“I highly recommend this center. I was evaluated thoroughly by Dr. Sensenig after a head injury. She and her physical therapy (vision therapy) team worked so hard, listened to my concerns and made a plan for me. The professionals at the desk were equally efficient and kind. (When I started attending eye therapy, there were times-due to my concussion- when I would need help scheduling and remembering appointments.) They were so helpful and patient.. I drove two times per week from Bethlehem for months, but I must say the drive was worth the care! I still go for follow-up visits and hope one day to be 100% cured.”
Occupational Therapy
If a family member has suffered severe visual loss, you should make an appointment for an evaluation by our low vision specialist.  Low vision can result from the loss of central or peripheral vision and can exist in varying degrees. It is important to understand that visual acuity alone is not a good predictor of the problems that visual impairment can cause. Someone with relatively good acuity (e.g., 20/40) can have difficulty functioning while someone with worse acuity (e.g., 20/200) might not be having any real problems. Most individuals classified as “blind” actually have remaining sight and, thanks to developments in the field of low vision rehabilitation, can make good use of it and improve their quality of life. Treatment plans may include prescription eyeglasses, specialized optical systems, therapeutic filters, non-optical devices, and/or video magnification, and the prescription of rehabilitation therapy to effectively maximize visual functioning for activities of daily living. Therapy may also be prescribed to enhance remaining visual skills and may also include referral to other vision rehabilitation professionals, as indicated. In addition, there are numerous other products to assist those with a vision impairment, such as large-type books, magazines, and newspapers, books-on-tape, talking wristwatches, self-threading needles, and more. People with low vision can also be taught a variety of techniques to perform daily activities with what vision remains. There are also government and private programs that offer educational and vocational counseling, occupational therapy, rehabilitation training, and more.  A wide variety of options are available to help people with low vision live and/or work more effectively, efficiently, and safely. Most people can be helped with one or more low vision treatment options. Unfortunately, only about 20-25 percent of those who could benefit from these treatment options have been seen by a low vision optometrist.
Neuro Rehabilitation
Dr. Heidi L. Sensenig, OD, MS, OTR/L, Director of Neuro-rehabilitation services at Wyomissing Optometric Center spoke on BCTV on May, 17th 2016. She shared information on the visual symptoms of concussions on the Penn State Health Today program. In a recent study of... read more
