Eye and Vision Exams

At Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center, we believe that the best medicine is preventative medicine. That is the purpose of the annual eye exam. There are a few reasons why this annual exam matters. Including Updating Prescriptions, Exploring New Treatment Options, and Catching Problems Early.

Pediatric Eye Exams

If you are the parent of a school-aged child, taking care of their vision needs is a task you need to consider as a part of routine health care tactics. It is best to give a call to Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center to make an appointment with our optometrist in Lewiston for an eye exam.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Regular eye exams help prevent vision loss and catch eye conditions early, but they also play a huge role in preventing and managing life-threatening diseases like diabetes. In fact, only eye doctors can diagnose the earliest warning signs of diabetes, because it shows up first at the back of the eyes. As the disease progresses, eye health risks include significant vision loss and even blindness.

 

Contact Lenses

If you are looking for a Lewiston eye doctor to provide you with contact lenses we can help. At the Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center we offer comprehensive eye care solutions.

Dry Eye Care

Dry eye is a condition that develops when there is a problem with the basal tears in your eyes, which are the tears that keep your eye hydrated. Dry eye can occur either due to low tear production or poor tear quality. Our Lewiston optometry clinic offers several treatments for dry eye that can help alleviate your symptoms.

Emergency Eye Care

Eye problems come in all possible degrees of severity and seriousness, from minor annoyances to sight-threatening crises. When you're confronted with an acute or dangerous eye injury or condition, you need to know you can get immediate care from experienced experts. That's why you'll want to keep Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center in your phone's contact list at all times. Our Lewiston clinic can provide the skilled diagnosis and emergency treatment your eyes urgently need.

 

Macular Degeneration Diagnosis & Management

We have all heard the human eye referred to as a camera. The retina in the back of the eye sends electrical impulses to the brain along the optic nerve. The brain converts these impulses to what we recognize as visual images. The Macula is the small central part of the retina that takes the picture if you will. The macula is responsible for the acute central vision we use to see fine details, recognize faces, read, drive, and sew.

When the macula is healthy, relatively dry and intact, we have good visual acuity. When the macula degenerates, we have a problem.

Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management

Over 3 million Americans have glaucoma. While many people have heard about this condition before, they may not realize whether or not they are at risk for the disease. At the Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center, located conveniently on Sabattus Street in Lewiston, our optometry team is committed to helping people understand this condition and learn what they can do to protect their eyesight.

Specialty Contact Lenses for Eye Disease Treatment
