1-800-MY VISION is dedicated to working with eye-care specialists nationwide.
Sooner or later almost all of us will have to wear some type of eyeglasses. Vision problems can generally be divided into two categories: nearsightedness (when one is able to see clearly only when objects are close up or nearby), or farsightedness (when one is able to see things far away, while small nearby objects, such as printed words, appear blurred).
By calling 1-800-MY VISION, you will be directly connected to an eye-care specialist in your state or geographical area. When choosing an eye-care specialist, be it an ophthalmologist, optometrist or optician, be sure to thoroughly research the doctor's qualifications, experience, services offered and patient satisfaction. Your vision is one of your most precious assets, so be sure to ask plenty of questions and take the time to do your research before undergoing any procedure. If undergoing surgery, make sure that your doctor is going to be part of the process, from beginning to end. He or she should preform most of the preoperative exam in addition to the surgery and should monitor your eyes in the weeks and months following the surgery. As with any medical procedure, it is always wise to seek one or more additional opinions before making a decision to proceed.
