Optometry Care Santa Barbara provides primary eye care services, which include general eye care examinations, diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the visual system. Examinations of the internal and external structure of the eyes are made to diagnose eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts and retinal disorders; systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes; and vision conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.
Comprehensive examinations include testing to determine the patient's ability to focus and coordinate the eyes, and to judge depth and see colors accurately. Prescriptions and fittings for eyeglasses, contact lenses and low vision aids are written.
Co-management of eye care, including refractive surgery and cataract surgery, is provided and referrals to appropriate eye specialists are made if warranted.
