Our professionals can help fit you into a pair of lenses that is just right for you. We are experts in fitting contact lenses and can handle the most specialized needs. Whether rigid or soft lenses, we are experienced in handling the most difficult of prescriptions.
If you have allergies, then you know allergies can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past many people had to quit wearing their lenses during the allergy season. However, new lens materials and allergy medications have made it possible for these people to eliminate the burning itchy eyes associated with allergies. Prescription medications such as Patanol and Alocril are amazingly effective and safe even in children as young as three. Let us know when you come in for your appointment if you have special allergy needs and we will be happy to help you.Please be aware that patients wearing contact lenses may require additional testing, and that contact lens prescriptions can take a bit of time to establish. |

Eye Diseases; Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetes | ||
|
CATARACTS: The natural lens in the eye gradually becomes less clear as we get older. When opacities develop in the lens and the lens gets too hazy, vision will be impaired. Our office can diagnose and manage cataract care. When the cataract affects the vision to the extent that you cannot read or see distant objects comfortably, we will recommend cataract surgery. Our office co-manages with cataract specialists that are proven experts in cataract surgery. Cataract surgery can provide you with a bright new world of vision. GLAUCOMA: Glaucoma gradually destroys the optic nerve tissue in the back of the eye. The greatest danger of glaucoma stems from the fact that the disease is painless and without obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. The most common cause is from pressure being too high inside the eye, but vascular disease and other diseases can also cause glaucoma. We always monitor for glaucoma during routine eye examinations. Tests include checking the pressure of the eye, screening for peripheral vision defects and analyzing the appearance of the optic nerve. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, we typically prescribe medications that lower the eye pressure. Most forms of glaucoma are successfully treated with eye drops. Laser treatments and eye surgery are secondary treatments that offer alternative ways to treat more advanced glaucoma. DIABETES: Diabetic patients should have a dilated retinal examination each year. Laser treatments have proven to slow the progression of retinal eye disease for many patients. Diabetes often stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the back of the eye, which ultimately leak and damage the retina. If this condition is discovered early, laser treatment can destroy these vessels. We have the latest instruments used to detect changes in the back of the eye. If we discover advancing diabetic eye disease that can be treated or needs further evaluation, we will refer you for consultation and further testing to a board certified retinal specialist. |

Our office provides emergency services for eye infections and eye injuries. Please call our office at 770-445-2715 during office hours, after hours or on weekends. A 24 hour answering service is always on call. Our staff will work with you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. State of the art microscopes allow us to examine the interior and front surface of the eye and facial areas around the eye for infection or injury. After assessing the extent of the injury or infection a treatment plan will be formulated and explained to you. Treatment may include medications and supportive care. Follow-up visits to monitor your recovery will be scheduled as needed. DRY EYES: Symptoms include scratchy eyes, burning, mild redness and gritty feeling eyes. Oral medications, reading, computer tasks and dry environments may aggravate marginally dry eyes. Dry eyes can be diagnosed by using dyes to observe tear patterns, evaluation of the amount of tears on the front of the eye and from review of your symptoms. Treatment may include artificial tears; eye drops for treating allergies; and/or punctal plugs inserted in the tear drainage canals. |

Insurance Accepted | ||
|
Medicare, Aetna USHealthcare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield (POS plans only), VSP, and VCP. If you don't see your plan listed above, give us a call. A complimentary 20% eyewear discount is offered to patients who have a vision insurance plan for which Dr. Woods is not a provider. This discount applies to full eyewear (frame and lenses) purchases only. TO OUR VALUED MEDICARE PATIENTS: Let us explain how Medicare works ... your medicare coverage is just like any other health insurance. There is a yearly deductible of $135.00 that must be satisfied with Medicare before any benefits are paid. When a claim is filed, and the deductible has not been met, Medicare will apply what they would have paid toward your deductible. After the yearly deductible has been met, Medicare will pay 80% of the allowed charges (with a medical diagnosis), and you are responsible for the other 20%. Any nonallowed or noncovered charges are your responsibility. Since our office is a Medicare provider, we will file the claim for you, Medicare will then forward your claim to any supplemental insurance you might have. Glasses are partially covered only if you have had cataract surgery, and only on THAT eye. Medicare will only cover this expense once. We hope we have helped you to understand your Medicare coverage! |
