Our Services
Comprehensive
Eye Exams
Some eye diseases, like cataracts and glaucoma, don’t have any early symptoms and without regular eye exams, you may not know you have a problem until your vision is affected. Be proactive with your eye health and schedule a comprehensive eye exam at Dr. Mullins’ Practice in Medford, Oregon at least once every two years for yourself and your family. If you need vision correction (glasses or contact lenses) or have a family history of eye disease, you should schedule annual eye examinations. This ensures you have the best prescription for clear vision and eye diseases will be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Contact Lens
Exams
Many people prefer to correct their vision with contact lenses instead of glasses and some use both. At Dr. Mullins’ Practice, you can schedule a contact lens exam, which will allow Dr. Mullins to determine your prescription as well as the best brand, modality, and type of contact lenses that will give you clear vision and a comfortable fit. If this is your first time wearing contact lenses, Dr. Mullins will teach you how to take your new lenses in and out. He can also review tips for taking care of your new contacts.
Primary Care
Part of maintaining your health is visiting certain doctors regularly. This usually includes seeing your primary care doctor once a year, your dentist twice a year, and your optometrist at least once a year. Ensure you and your family have clear vision and good eye health with annual visits to Dr. Mullins’ Practice in Medford, OR. In addition to checking your vision, Dr. Mullins will screen for eye disease and watch for small changes over time that can help lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Cataracts
After your 40th birthday, you are at higher risk for cataracts, an eye disease that creates clouds in the lens of the eye, which leads to blurry vision. With regular eye exams, Dr. Mullins can diagnose cataracts before vision problems start and create a personalized treatment plan. For those with a family history of cataracts and any adult over 40, it is important to schedule comprehensive eye examinations at least once every two years to catch the earliest signs of cataracts.
Diabetic Eye Exam
Diabetes can affect the whole body, including your eyes. If you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes, please let Dr. Mullins know during your appointment. In addition to your regular eye exam, Dr. Mullins will include a diabetic eye exam to check for concerns like diabetic macular edema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy. In addition to working with your regular physician to treat your diabetes, Dr. Mullins will monitor your optical health and keep your vision clear.
Glaucoma
During comprehensive eye exams, especially for adults over 40, Dr. Mullins checks for signs of glaucoma. Known as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma creates pressure in the eye and has few early symptoms before vision loss. Dr. Mullins’ Practice recommends adults over 40 and those with a family history of eye disease get eye exams at least once every two years to check for eye diseases like glaucoma so they can get diagnosed and treated before permanent vision loss.
