The team of ophthalmic physicians
and surgeons at Whispering Point
Ophthalmology provide a wide
range of vision care.
General Ophthalmology
Refraction Exams (Glasses and Contact
Lenses Fittings):Our providers can
fit you for glasses and/or contact lenses
and make out a prescription for you.
These exams are optional and they are NOT covered by your medical insurance. We do not take any vision plans. If a refraction is done, the PATIENT is responsible for payment at the time of visit.
Emergency Eye Care:
Work-related injuries, foreign body
removal, etc.
We Also Treat:
- Dry eye and blepharitis
- Allergic/Bacterial/Viral conjunctivitis
- Contact-lens related problems
- Eye infections (ie. corneal ulcers,
herpes simplex and herpes zoster;
(shingles, uveitis, etc.)
- Cataracts (consultation and surgery is offered)
- Glaucoma (medical and surgical therapy is offered)
- Diabetes
- Macular Degeneration
- Refractive errors (nearsighted, farsighted, presbyopia, and astigmatism)
- Eye Trauma
We offer additional testing
with advanced technology to
manage certain eye conditions such as:
- Humphrey Visual Field
We offer the Humphrey Visual Field screening which can detect
central and peripheral vision problems. This is useful in conditions
affecting the eye, optic nerve, and brain.
- Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
We also offer the Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT),
which is a scan that captures detailed images of the retina
in the back of the eye. This test is useful in assessing
subtle changes of the optic nerve and macula.
The OCT is a useful tool to monitor the progression of
conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc.
- Tonometry
This is the measurement of eye pressure which is the
pressure of fluid within the eyeball. We use an instrument
called the probe to take the eye pressure readings.
- Pachymetry
This is the measurement of corneal thickness which is useful
when evaluating eye pressure readings since a thin or
thick cornea can affect eye pressure results.
