This exhaustive approach enables Dr. Hum to detect even the subtlest eye disease symptoms, ensuring diagnostic accuracy and timely intervention.

The diagnosis process typically involves a series of tests, including:

• Visual Acuity Test: To assess the sharpness of your vision and detect any refractive errors.
• Dilated Eye Exam: To examine the retina and optic nerve for signs of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration.
• Tonometry: To measure the pressure inside your eyes, helping to diagnose conditions like glaucoma.
• Retinoscopy: To estimate the prescription needed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Effective management of eye diseases requires a thorough understanding of available treatment options, which can substantially impact the course of the condition and the patient's quality of life.

At Dr. Justin Hum Optometrist, we prioritize a thorough approach to treatment, considering the unique needs and circumstances of each patient.

For many eye conditions, prescription glasses or contact lenses can provide effective correction and relief.

In cases where refractive errors are present, these options can dramatically improve visual acuity and overall eye health.

Additionally, eye surgery alternatives, such as orthokeratology (OK) or atropine therapy, may be suitable for certain patients, particularly children and young adults.

These non-surgical options can slow the progression of myopia and other conditions, reducing the risk of complications later in life.

Before your appointment, verifying that you have gathered relevant information about your eye health history, including any symptoms, medications, and previous treatments, is vital for a thorough examination.

This will help alleviate any pre-visit jitters and guarantee that Dr. Hum has an exhaustive understanding of your eye care needs.
