Medical Eye Care in Chevy Chase
Medical eye care goes beyond updating a glasses prescription. It includes diagnosing, treating, and monitoring conditions that affect your eye health and vision over time. We use advanced imaging and clear explanations so you understand not just what we’re seeing, but what it means for your long-term eye health.
Comprehensive Medical Eye Care
Patients visit our Chevy Chaseoffice for everything from diabetic eye exams and ocular surface disease to sudden changes in vision or long-standing concerns. As a medical-first practice, we routinely manage glaucoma, dry eye, corneal disease, myopia, and more, and we provide urgent care for symptoms that shouldn’t wait.
If you’re unsure whether your concern is “medical,” our team can help you choose the right type of visit and walk you through what to expect.
When to Schedule a Medical Eye Exam
You don’t have to wait for a major problem to seek medical eye care. Consider a medical-focused visit if you have diabetes, a history of glaucoma, ongoing dry eye symptoms, or notice new issues such as flashes, floaters, pain, or sudden blur. We’ll help you decide how quickly you should be seen and which tests are appropriate.
Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve long before you notice vision changes. We use tools such as OCT imaging, visual field testing, and detailed optic nerve evaluations to detect and monitor glaucoma. When treatment is needed, we discuss options that fit your routine and coordinate with your opthalmologist if surgical care becomes appropriate.
Many patients see our eye doctors before and after cataract, corneal, or refractive surgery. We provide pre- and post-operative evaluations, monitor healing, and communicate closely with your surgeon so your care feels coordinated and seamless. For those with corneal disease or surface disorders, our optometrists often continue long-term management and, when appropriate, integrate specialty or medically necessary contact lenses into your care plan.
Dry eye is more than a nuisance, it can affect reading, computer work, and overall comfort. Our Dry Eye Center combines diagnostics such as meibography and tear film assessment with targeted therapies, including in-office options like IPL or RF for meibomian gland dysfunction. Your treatment plan is built to address the root causes of dryness, not just mask symptoms.
