Pediatric Vision Care

Dr. Anderson received special training in pediatric vision care at the State University of New York in New York City. At Accent Eyewear, your child's eye examination will not be limited to just an assessment of visual acuity and eye health, but will also include testing of eye movements, focusing, and eye teaming skills. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Mont are able to assess vision development, visual-motor skills, visual-auditory function, and visual perception.

It has been found that 80% of what a child learns in school is through the visual system. Most of this learning is done at the 12" to 16" reading distance, yet most schools continue to screen their students vision with only a test of distance visual acuity. Dr. Anderson recommends that all children have a complete vision exam before starting school.

Computer Vision Care

Computer vision syndrome, or CVS is currently the number one health complaint of office workers nationwide. It affects millions of people, including those with 20/20 visual acuity. Common symptoms of CVS include:

Headaches - Close range blurred vision - Slow focusing - Double vision - Eyestrain - Glare sensitivity - Eye irritation - Dry Eye - Neck (back and shoulder} pain

Unlike reading a book, the images on the computer screen are made up of tiny glowing dots called pixels. Without clearly defined edges or background contrast, your eyes can't lock the images into focus. This constant refocusing of your eyes can occur thousands of times per hour during your workday, overworking your eye muscles and causing painful eyestrain symptoms.

Because viewing a computer is different from viewing a printed image, traditional testing methods are not always effective in diagnosing your computer vision needs. The doctors at Accent Eyewear use Prio testing technology to see exactly how your eyes react to a computer display monitor. A simulated computer screen is used during the testing process that allows your doctor to create a prescription tailored to meet your precise computer vision needs.

Dr Anderson and Dr. Mont are also available for workplace consultation. If your business or company has employees complaining of visual fatigue due to long-term computer use, we may be able to help.

Sports Vision Care

Whether you are a competitive elite athlete or  a weekend warrior, your visual demands are often different when competing in sports activities. For example, sports such as racquetball, handball and squash have a very high incidence of eye injuries simply because so many athletes choose not to wear the recommended protective eyewear. Many golfers are hindered by poor visual alignment skills while putting or by an inability to properly judge distance. Golfers over the age of 40 often benefit from bifocal contact lenses or special golf glasses which take the "bifocal" out of their field of view when swinging. Athletes in  many sports often compete with subpar visual acuity or just choose not to wear their corrective lenses. This can often be the difference between catching or dropping the ball, hitting or missing that 3-2 pitch in the bottom of the ninth, or hitting that last second three pointer to win the game.

Contact Lens Care

There have been numerous advances in contact lens technology over the past 3-5 years. Changes not only in contact lens types but also in the equipment used in fitting them. Our office uses a corneal topography unit to customize each individual fit. This new computerized photographic instrument surveys the cornea providing a detailed topographical "map" of its shape. With this "map" of your eye, contact lens fitting becomes much more accurate. The majority of the actual fitting process can be done by computerized models, which means less visits to the eye doctor and added convenience for you.

The majority of patients at Accent Eyewear are fit with disposable lenses because of the increased comfort, vision, and eye health benefits that come from inserting fresh sterile lenses on a planned replacement schedule. For the ultimate in convenience and eye health, many patients now wear daily disposable lenses. That's right, wear them one day then throw them away. No cleaning and no solutions make this the contact lens modality of the next decade. Stop by our office and ask abut our free trial lens offer. Disposable contact lenses might just be for you.

LASIK Care

LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is a treatment used to correct all ranges of nearsightedness and astigmatism. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Mont take an active role in counseling and educating our patients regarding this amazing surgical procedure. Our office works closely with Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) and Teplick Laser Centers. We provide a non-biased consultation for our patients to determine if they are a good candidate for this procedure. All pre and post operative care is performed at our office for your convenience. We invite you to schedule a refractive surgery consult with one of our doctors to find out if this procedure is right for you.
