Our Services
Cataracts
After the age of 40, your risk of eye diseases (like cataracts) increases. With few early symptoms, you may not know you have cataracts until your vision starts to blur. During regular eye exams at Keeble Eye Care, your eyes are checked for the first signs of cataracts so you can start treatment before you have any vision problems. Protect your future vision by scheduling annual eye exams at Keeble Eye Care.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Every member of your family should be getting comprehensive eye exams on a regular basis. Keeble Eye Care recommends eye exams at least once every two years for all children and adults. Annual eye exams are recommended for those who wear glasses and/or contact lenses, those over 40 years old and anyone with a family history of eye disease (such as cataracts and glaucoma). A comprehensive eye exam at Keeble Eye Care checks your vision and looks for early signs of problems.
Contact Lens Exams
Contact lenses are a great option to correct vision problems. Whether you have used contacts for years or want to try them for the first time, Keeble Eye Care offers contact lens exams that determine your prescription, as well as the best type, modality, and brand to give you a comfortable fit with clear vision. First time contact lens users will also be taught how to care for their new lenses and practice taking the contacts in and out.
Dry Eye Treatment
If you suffer from chronic dry eyes, schedule an appointment at Keeble Eye Care so our team can help you find relief. Dry eye treatments start with a comprehensive eye exam to determine the cause of the problem. From there, the optometrist can recommend the best treatment options for your needs.
Eye Emergencies (Pink/Red Eyes)
If you have an eye emergency, it’s a good idea see to an optometrist since they specialize in eye care. Keeble Eye Care has experience helping patients treat pink eye and other eye problems. If you have experienced an eye trauma (scratch, foreign object, chemical exposure, etc.) or you have symptoms of an eye infection (redness, inflammation around the eyes, eye discharge, sensitivity to light, swelling, vision changes, etc.), contact Keeble Eye Care for an emergency appointment.
Geriatric Eye Care
You need to take extra steps to protect your eyes as you get older. The risk of many eye diseases (including cataracts and glaucoma) increases after the age of 65. Schedule annual eye exams at Keeble Eye Care so problems can be caught and treated early before vision trouble or loss starts.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma, also known as “the silent thief of sight,” can develop with little to no symptoms. Some people don’t know they have glaucoma until their vision is affected. Regular eye exams check for early signs of glaucoma, which creates pressure in the eye. Annual visits to Keeble Eye Care allows our team to track small changes over time so you can get an early diagnosis and treatment.
Pediatric Eye Care
It’s important to check your child’s vision early and often. The first eye exam should be scheduled around six months old to assess the visual system as it develops. Unless there are concerns, a follow-up visit should occur when the child is about two or three years old. Keeble Eye Care also recommends regular visits for children once they are in school so their vision can be checked.
Primary Care
Take care of your family’s eye health by scheduling regular appointments at Keeble Eye Care. Even if you don’t have vision problems, it’s good for all adults to get regular eye exams to check for early signs of eye disease. And it’s also helpful to already have an optometrist you know and trust in the event of an eye emergency. Don’t waste time looking for an optometrist when you or a family member needs urgent eye care.
