Got Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a very common visual condition that is left uncorrected in many contact lens wearers. There are now available many excellent quality soft disposable contact lenses that can correct astigmatism. If you were told you could not wear contact lenses previously or thought there were no contact lenses made for astigmatism ask Dr. Umeda about these new lenses.

Ultra high oxygen permeable vision correcting contact lenses are worn while you sleep. You wake up seeing better than you ever thought possible. When you call or go online for your appointment ask to be evaluated for CRT.
Optomap Retinal Examination
Optos was founded and incorporated in 1992 by Douglas Anderson after his then five-year-old son went blind in one eye when a retinal detachment was detected too late. Although his son was having regular eye exams, routine exams were uncomfortable, especially for a child, which made it impossible for the doctor to conduct a complete exam and view the entire retina. Anderson set out to commercialize a patient-friendly retinal image product that encompassed a digital widefield image of the retina in a single capture.
Douglas Anderson's company, now called Optos, has provided enhanced retinal examinations for millions of people all over the world, saving the vision and possibly the lives of many people who whose eye diseases would have normally been undiagnosed. The Optomap Retinal Examination is now available in Dr. Umeda's office and is recommended for all patients at every eye examination. To learn more, go to www.optos.com
Back to School Eye Exams
With Back to School just around the corner, it is important for parents to make
sure their children’s eyes are healthy. Approximately 80 percent of all learning
during a child’s first 12 years comes through vision. Dr. Umeda wants your children to have a positive experience at school. One of the best things a parent can do is to schedule an eye exam that includes optomap® ultra-widefield digital retinal imaging before schools starts to ensure your child is ready for the school year.
Dr. Umeda offers optomap to patients of all ages because it is important for everyone as part of a comprehensive eye exam to have their retina checked regularly no matter how well you see. A majority of eye problems arise
without you even knowing and an optomap allows your Doctor to get an ultrawidefield view of the retina in a fast, painless, and comfortable way.
Good eye health and vision is important to your child’s learning and vision
problems can affect their performance in school. Undetected or untreated vision
problems can hinder a child’s ability to perform to their full potential in school. In
fact, many eye diseases can impair vision or lead to vision loss, which is why it is
important for people of all ages to have their eyes checked regularly.
At least 10 to 15 percent – or 8 to 12 million – children are at risk for vision
impairments. Prevention of these conditions can be easy so schedule your child’s
eye exam today! While you’re at it, schedule your own exam too!
Please call us today to schedule your Back to School Exam with optomap.
