     Our Eye Examinations
The doctors eye exam will determine if you need refractive correction for Myopia(nearsightedness), Hyperopia(farsightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia. The exam also includes testing for eye alignment, peripheral visual field, glaucoma, cataracts, and corneal disease. Dilation of the eye will also aid in the diagnosis of any present peripheral retinal disease. Dr. Davis will talk with you about each aspect of this exam and be happy to answer any questions you may have.
     Contact Lenses
Contact Lenses are a medical device used to correct your refractive error. There are many options available today. We fit soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. The lenses are for people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, or just to change your eye color. Just tell us your needs and together we will select the lens that is best for you
      Sports Vision
Sports Vision is a specialty in Optometry that evaluates the role your eyes play in sports performance. Eye tracking, eye position, eye/hand coordination, eye focusing, and dominant eye awareness are important visual skills that affect performance. All athletes need athletic ability to play their game effectively. What many athletes do not realize is that visual skills play an important role in allowing that ability to be used effectively. Giving extra attention to your vision may give you that edge you need! Through our Sports Vision evaluation and training program you will ensure optimum visual performance.

The Myth About 20/20

20/20 doesn't mean perfect vision. It means that vision is good at a distance. It doesn't test how well near vision is, or how well vision functions. There are many other qualities of vision not evaluated by the standard "20/20 test". For example: eye focusing, eye coordination, eye teaming (binocular vision), visual perceptual skills or color vision. Problems in the above areas of vision can cause symptoms for children in school as well as adults in the workplace. See the “symptom questionnaire” for a comprehensive list of symptoms.

Vision therapy or visual training is the part of optometric vision care devoted to developing, improving and enhancing people's visual performance. Optometrists use visual training and appropriate lenses to: prevent vision and eye problems from developing, develop visual skills needed to achieve more effectively at school, work or play, enhance functioning on tasks demanding sustained visual effort, or to remediate or compensate for vision and eye problems which have already developed. For more information, see “www.covd.org“.

At our East Limestone office, Dr. Kennedy can perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if any of these problems exist. We then can prescribe a computerized home vision therapy system which can be modified for an individual’s specific needs.
