COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM
Annual exams are a necessary part of your total health care. Changes in the measurement of your eyes can be a sign of illness, such as diabetes. Prescriptions change due to age. Thorough exams by a qualified doctor can detect subtle changes. Good eye health begins with routine eye exams, and should start as early as 6 months of age.
TREATMENT OF EYE DISEASES
Dr. Gording was among the first optometrists in California to receive a therapeutic license. His years of experience in a large surgical group assure you that your treatment will be accurate and complete. Treatments include eye drops and oral medications when necessary. Often times, a change in lid hygiene or a recommendation for vitamins is all that is required.
CHILDREN'S EXAM
Dr. Gording completed an internship at the Gesell Institute. Children's exams are very different than adult exams. These exams include monitoring developmental milestones that can be crucial to a child's ability to read and learn. Since young children are not fully aware of symptoms, every child should be examined yearly. Unfortunately, most of the test that we perform are not available through your pediatrician.
