Dr. Giffen performs comprehensive eye exams that include testing for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye disease. She is also therapeutically licensed and prescribes medications for eye infections and other eye conditions. Dr. Giffen prescribes glasses and fits contact lenses, including colored, rigid gas permeable, bifocal, and astigmatism correcting lenses.
She will speak to you about your visual needs so that she may prescribe the optimal correction for you. The right kind of correction can alleviate eyestrain, discomfort, and blurry vision from computer use, reading, or driving. Children should have their eyes examined annually so that vision problems can be caught and treated before they interfere with learning at school or result in permanently reduced vision in adulthood (such as "lazy eye").
Many eye disorders can be missed by school screenings, so there is no substitute for a complete eye exam. The earlier a child's vision problems are treated, the better the prognosis usually is.
