Services
Comprehensive eye exams
by the Doctors are designed to evaluate
the overall health of the visual system
and its related functions. This is accomplished
by viewing the interior and exterior of
the eye, for signs of various systemic
diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension,
and Aids. The tests conducted by the Doctors
will also determine and correct the refractive
state of the eye, the ability to focus
and coordinate the eyes, the maintenance
of proper fusion and depth perception,
and proper color vision viewing. Peripheral
vision testing and intraocular eye pressures
are also an integral part of every exam.
The
Doctors
are certified to use diagnostic and therapeutic
pharmacological agents to diagnose and
treat many eye related conditions ranging
from eye allergies and infections to corneal
ulcers. More serious conditions like Glaucoma
and Cataracts can be diagnosed and referred
to specialists and may be co-managed with
the
Doctors.
At Sea View Optometric Center we are direct
providers for most major vision plans,
and we can also assist you in billing
most private vision plans that we are
not direct providers for.

Dry Eyes
This is one of the most
common ailments affecting the eyes. It
also tends to be one of the most under
treated eye diseases. The latest studies
show that about 25 million Americans suffer
from this problem. Symptoms can vary from
dryness and scratchiness to watery eyes
and constant tearing. Common causes are
aging, medications, the environment, computer
use, autoimmune disease and even contact
lenses. Dry eyes is the most common reason
why people must stop wearing their contact
lenses and begin to either wear their
glasses full-time or start to seriously
consider laser vision correction as an
option. Fortunately, there have been many
new and exciting developments in the ways
that we treat this disease. Dr. Bisson
and Dr. Gwizdak can accurately diagnose
the cause of your dry eye symptoms and
then explain which treatment options are
right for you.
Low
Vision
If you are visually impaired, you can
benefit from the Doctors personalized
attention to this specialty which, in
many cases, can help extend and maximize
the vision you have. This branch of optometry
is especially valuable for people affected
with vision conditions such as Macular
Degeneration.

Athletic
and Occupational Visual Needs
Certain occupations and sports may require
special "task specific" testing based
on the visual demand. In addition to eye
wear for general purpose use, various
types of special purpose eye wear are
available. Different occupations can impose
demanding visual requirements on your
eyes and may require lenses that are different
than those for everyday use. Patients
who use a computer can be tested with
the new PRIO® testing to determine
the lens that will make your vision clear
and comfortable while working at the computer.
There is an extensive selection of speciality
bifocals, trifocals and progressive addition
lenses for all types of occupations and
visual requirements. A variety of special
eye wear is available for the safety and
visual needs of sports enthusiasts, including
prescription swim goggles, racquet sports
protective eye wear, and polarized lenses
for all types of water activities.
