| Yes,
we are currently accepting new patients, and eagerly anticipating meeting
you and your family. |
| If
you suffer from any medical condition that poses risk to the health of
your eyes, such as diabetes or glaucoma, it is recommended that your former
eye exam records be transferred to our office prior to your exam. It may
be required that you request your exam records in writing. If you have
no medical condition that poses risk to your eyes a transfer of records
is not necessary. |
| Yes,
we recommend that you wear, or at least bring with you, your current vision
correction. Existing glasses or contacts lenses are frequently used in
determining your current visual status. |
| Dr.
Lenahan knows everyone has a busy schedule and he makes every attempt
to see patients as the patients' schedule allows. Evening and weekend
(including Sunday) appointments are available. Patients can be seen usually
within (1) one to (2) two days for a full eye examination. Appointments
are recommended. Please call today for your appointment. |
| An
eye exam is more than a checkup for glasses. A comprehensive eye examination
is an important part of your general health care. Regular eye examinations
are an important asset in detection of any underlying health care problems,
as well as maintaining your best possible vision. Dr. Lenahan recommends
a full eye examination annually. Some people may be advised to return
more frequently if there is a family history of - or incidents of - eye
diseases. |
| An eye examination is a sensible part of any routine family health care. An eye examination should be completed upon a child as soon as any vision difficulties are noticed. It is generally recommended that all children should have their first complete eye examination by an optometrist by the age of (3) three. Common problems include lazy eye, crossed eye, farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, and color deficiencies. Many of these visual problems are best managed when detected and treated early. |
| Prescription
for glasses and contacts are typically valid for (1) year, however every
patient is different and may require more frequent review of their prescriptions. |
| Dr.
Lenahan and Associates release both glasses and contact prescriptions
to the patient. There are many different methods and choices for purchasing
glasses and contact lenses. Therefore, by releasing the glasses and contact
lenses information to the patient, the patient determines which optical
they wish to utilize. Dr. Lenahan and associates are independent optometrists
and are not associated with any optical. |
| Patients
have varied visual demands related to their occupations and hobbies. Our
doctors will discuss all options, including laser corrective surgery,
available to each patient based on their lifestyle and needs. It is our
goal to make sure you have a full understanding of the benefits and risks
of laser surgery. All our doctors are fully trained laser surgery co-management,
and we provide refractive surgery referral service. We look forward to
discussing your individual candidacy for laser corrective surgery. |
| No
longer are contact lenses for just vision correction, but they have become
a statement of expressing yourself. Even if your vision is perfect contact
lenses can be prescribed for most people. Whether you are wanting to enhance
the color of your eyes, a dramatic color change or, the fun of WILD
EYES there are many different contact lenses available for those
with perfect vision, as well as those with who need vision correction.
Our doctors would be pleased to discuss the suitability of cosmetic contacts
for you. |
