Additionally, ocular imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), are used to capture detailed, cross-sectional images of the eye's internal structures.

These advanced diagnostic tools enable Dr. Wan to provide her patients with personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and conditions.

Thorough eye exams are a cornerstone of Dr. Wan's practice, providing patients with an exhaustive understanding of their visual health and detecting any potential issues before they become serious.

During the exam, Dr. Wan assesses the overall health of the eyes, including the retina, optic nerve, and cornea, to identify any signs of disease or abnormalities.

Using advanced diagnostic technology, Dr. Wan performs a range of tests to evaluate visual acuity, refractive errors, and eye movement.

She also examines the eyes for signs of common conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.

Additionally, Dr. Wan assesses the patient's overall health, including blood pressure and diabetes, as these can impact eye health.

By providing thorough eye exams, Dr. Wan enables patients to take proactive steps in protecting their vision and maintaining good eye health.

With regular exams, patients can rest assured that their eyes are healthy and their vision is protected.

Corrective vision procedures like LASIK and refractive surgery offer individuals with refractive errors a chance to regain clear, unobstructed vision. These surgical procedures involve reshaping the cornea to improve the way the eye focuses light, resulting in improved visual acuity.

However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved.

Some key considerations for individuals contemplating LASIK or refractive surgery include:

Surgical risks: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications, such as dry eye, infection, or under/overcorrection.

Postoperative care: Following surgery, patients must adhere to a strict regimen of medication and follow-up appointments to guarantee proper healing.

Realistic expectations: It is essential to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery, as it may not completely eliminate the need for glasses or contacts.

Dr. Jennifer Wan and her team are dedicated to providing thorough care and guidance to individuals considering LASIK or refractive surgery.
