Doctors of Optometry are primary health care providers who specialize in the examination, diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the eye, visual system and associated structures, as well as the diagnosis of related systemic conditions.
Since many ocular diseases can begin with no specific symptoms or noticeable changes to a patient, routine, preventive examinations are key to the early detection of potential sight-threatening conditions. Early detection is the best way to protect your vision from permanent damage caused by disease, aging, and injuries.
During the comprehensive eye exam, your visual system will be tested for refractive errors, muscle imbalances, neurological disorders, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many other conditions. Also, your general health can be assessed since many systemic conditions can are known to cause specific changes to your ocular health which can be detected during the eye exam..
Once testing is completed, Dr. Cursaro will review all findings with the patient or parent and provide consultation and recommendations regarding any needed treatment.
