When to see an Ophthalmologist
When to see an Ophthalmologist
I recently visited Dr. Keehn, an excellent garland ophthalmologist, for an updated comprehensive dilated eye exam. I have had vision problems for years and wanted to make sure I got a follow-up exam. Fortunately, I was told that my eye exam was normal outside of astigmatism, which is causing my visual disturbances. I was given a prescription for vision correction and have purchased some eye glasses through an online store called Zennioptical.

1. Eye infection

3. Change in vision
4. New floaters or flashes
5. Double vision
6. Sudden vision loss
7. Age-related vision loss
8. People with diabetes
9. Surgery/LASIK
10. Dry eye
