Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions our patients ask about eye conditions and treatments.

How often should I have my eyes examined?
Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or annually after age 60. If you have diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, or other risk factors, your doctor may recommend more frequent visits. Early detection is the key to preventing permanent vision loss from conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
An optometrist provides primary vision care including eye exams, prescriptions, and monitoring for common conditions. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who can perform eye surgery and treat complex diseases. At Greenwich Ophthalmology Associates, our practice includes both, giving you access to the full spectrum of care under one roof.
Can eye conditions be prevented?
While not all eye conditions are preventable, many risk factors can be managed. Wearing UV-protective sunglasses, eating a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids, managing diabetes and blood pressure, and quitting smoking all help protect your vision. Regular eye exams remain the most effective way to catch problems before they cause irreversible damage.
What should I do if I experience sudden vision changes?
Sudden vision changes such as flashes of light, a curtain-like shadow, a burst of new floaters, or rapid vision loss should be treated as an emergency. Contact our office immediately or visit the nearest emergency room. Conditions like retinal detachment and acute angle-closure glaucoma require urgent treatment to prevent permanent blindness.
Does insurance cover eye condition treatment?
Most medical insurance plans cover the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions and diseases, including cataract surgery, glaucoma management, and diabetic eye exams. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend contacting our office to verify your benefits before your visit. Our team is happy to help you understand your coverage and payment options.
At what age should children have their first eye exam?
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a first eye screening by age one, another between ages three and five, and before starting school. Children with a family history of strabismus, amblyopia, or other eye conditions may need earlier or more frequent exams. Our pediatric ophthalmology team specializes in detecting and treating vision problems in children of all ages.
