​​​​​​​Eye Exam

Scheduling eye exams routinely plays a critical part in your overall health and wellness. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms, making a yearly comprehensive eye exam the optimal way to maintain a lifetime of healthy eyes. Most of the disorders of the eyes do not manifest any kind of symptom until the condition becomes moderate to severe, which is exactly why early detection through routine and comprehensive eye exams is so important. At Visual Health Doctors, our expert specialists utilize the latest technologies to diagnose and treat patients of all ages. Don’t wait to schedule an appointment with us to get your vision checked out at any of our nine convenient locations in Northern Virginia.

​​​​​​​Contact Lens Exam

Since contact lenses are not “one-size fits all”, a contact lens evaluation is required to ensure a great fit and prescription. Our experienced optometrists will examine your eyes to determine if you are a good candidate to wear contact lenses. Your prescription and the curvature of your eye will be measured and we will discuss lifestyle and/or any special needs you may have. We will then determine the type of contact lenses that best fit your eyes and provide you with the most accurate vision while ensuring that your eyes remain healthy with the lenses. If trial lenses are available in the office, you may be able to go home with lenses the same day. However, if your prescription or curvature warrants, contact lens trials may need to be ordered.

​​​​​​​Managing Dry Eye

Dry eye syndrome is a chronic condition that develops when your eyes do not produce and maintain enough tears to keep the eye’s surface lubricated. Unfortunately, many people who have dry eyes believe that there’s little to be done about this condition. Virtually everyone has experienced dry eyes at some point of their lives. In some cases, chronic dry eye could be a critical concern. With so many people affected, it is important to realize there is help for the condition.

​​​​​​​LASIK Eye Surgery

Lasik is the most common form of laser eye surgery for a majority of patients who have nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and even astigmatism. Good candidates for LASIK have healthy eyes, a stable prescription, and are not pregnant or nursing. They should also not have thin corneas, severe dry eye syndrome, or autoimmune conditions. Our experienced optometrists can help you determine if you are a good candidate for this type of vision correction.

​​​​​​​Emergency Eye Care Services

Our eye doctors have the latest technology and lots of experience with eye infections, scratched eyes, something stuck in your eye, painful or stinging eyes, and many other types of eye infections. These types of abnormalities should be addressed as soon as possible. Contact us immediately if you are experiencing an eye-related emergency.

​​​​​​​Glaucoma Testing & Treatment

Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable vision loss and blindness in individuals in the United States and Canada and the second leading cause of blindness in the World, even more than macular degeneration.

Glaucoma is not a single disease. It is actually a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve due to an increase in pressure inside the eye, which is called intraocular pressure (IOP). When detected in the early stages, glaucoma can often be controlled, preventing severe vision loss and blindness. However, symptoms of noticeable vision loss often only occur once the disease has progressed. This is why glaucoma is called “the sneak thief of sight”. Unfortunately, once vision is lost from the disease, it usually can’t be restored.

Our group of optometrists specializes in IOP measurement, visual field testing, retinal imaging, and detecting glaucoma. It cannot be stressed enough that the most effective treatment for glaucoma happens when the disease is detected and treated early before significant vision loss occurs.
