Primary Care
Like prescription drugs, contact lenses are by prescription only and may be purchased through different sources. Similar to sample drugs your primary care physician may give you, the diagnostic lenses Williamsburg Eye Care uses initially are provided to our office by contact lens companies based on the number of contact lenses purchased from our office. If we did not offer contact lens purchases, these same companies would not provide us the very lenses we fit patients in initially. Furthermore, should your prescription change throughout the year or you have a fault with several lenses in a box, Williamsburg Eye Care stands behind the lenses purchased from our office. We will make all necessary changes in order to accommodate your needs. Many contact lens manufacturers offer rebates on lenses purchased from our office, which have leveled the cost of lenses to you. Ask at the front desk for details regarding rebates.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Myopia is seen more frequently as children develop during their early years, increasing in magnitude as they age. The prevalence of myopia has increased to nearly epidemic portions. Higher rates of myopia places children at risk for development retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, and glaucoma later in life. Specific treatment options in managing myopia can significantly reduce the progression of myopia and risk of permanent vision loss.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration is associated with aging of the central retina and impacts central vision responsible for seeing detail. There are two forms of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD); dry and wet. Dry AMD is more common, while wet AMD is responsible for more significant vision loss. There is currently no treatment for dry AMD, although a multivitamin is recommended for those with moderate dry AMD. This vitamin is based on the ARED (Age-Related Eye Disease) studies conducted by the National Eye Institute. The treatment for wet AMD includes pharmaceuticals placed into the eye to absorb fluid.
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is an outpatient surgical procedure used to treat nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. With LASIK, a surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea, changing the way light rays are focused onto the retina.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the lens within the eye. The typical age-related cataract is due to exposure to UV light over time. While most cataracts develop slowly in people over age 50, they can occur in infants and young children. As cataracts progress they will interfere with normal vision, eventually requiring surgery to improve vision.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. The decision to have cataract surgery should be based on quality of life and expectations. Prior to being referred for surgical consultation, it’s important to understand the risks and benefits of cataract surgery. The main risks associated with cataract surgery include inflammation and swelling, although infection, retinal detachment and blindness can occur. While the main benefit of cataract surgery is improving eyesight, dependency on spectacles and contact lenses can be reduced by implanting an intraocular lens. Intraocular lenses can correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and provide for near focus. It’s important to discuss your visual expectations following cataract surgery with us prior to your surgical consult.
Eye Exam
Williamsburg Eye Care recognizes the important role vision benefits have played in improving access to eye care for millions of Americans. Vision plans vary widely in coverage and are designed to share in your eye care costs and may not cover your entire bill. If you don’t fully understand your benefits you are not alone. If you have questions regarding your vision coverage, speak to your employer or human resources officer or contact your insurer directly. Ultimately, you need to know how your vision plan is designed and its limitations. When appropriate, your medical insurance may be billed for your eye examination. In this case, deductibles, coinsurance, and copays apply.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
As primary eye care providers, we are at the front line of eyecare, at times requiring surgical treatment of vision threatening conditions such as cataracts, retinal detachment, severe diabetic retinopathy, and wet macular degeneration among others. At other times elective procedures such as LASIK or eyelid lifts are desired. Our team of providers are part of a network of surgeons that provide additional care to treat specific conditions. Based on diagnosis and treatment, patients are referred to appropriate surgeons and often managed post-operatively in our office to increase efficiency and reduce time.

Ulcer
There are specific contact lenses available that are approved by the FDA to be worn overnight, known as extended wear. These lenses are a combination silicon-hydrogel lens, allowing oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea. The cornea is avascular, meaning there are no blood vessels within it, and receives most of its oxygen from the atmosphere. When we sleep without a contact lens on the eye the cornea swells due to reduced oxygen availability through our eyelids. This swelling dissipates quickly once we wake. When we sleep with a contact lens on the eye, this swelling is greater depending on the oxygen transmission provided by the lens material. Silicon-hydrogel materials provide enough oxygen transmission that there is essentially no residual swelling. The amount of oxygen a lens material allows through it does not reduce the risk of an eye infection. In fact, extended-wear increases one’s risk of developing an eye infection or corneal ulcer. If you develop a red, painful eye, or experience reduced vision or light sensitivity, stop wearing your contact lenses and call our office.
