During an eye exam at Central Eye Care, we thoroughly check your vision. Our friendly staff reviews your medical history, performs vision tests, determines your glasses/contact prescription, and screens for eye diseases like glaucoma. Our optometrists ensure your comfort, explain everything, and answer questions. By the end, you'll know your eye health and next steps.

Bring your current eyeglasses or contact lenses, a list of any medications you're taking, and your insurance information. New patients should arrive 15 minutes early to complete paperwork.

It is recommended to have an eye exam at least once a year to ensure your vision and eye health are in optimal condition. However, your optometrist may suggest a different schedule based on your individual needs.

You can schedule an eye exam by visiting our website and using the online booking system, or by calling our office directly at (860) 306-2060.

A: Orthokeratology, often referred to as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical treatment involving specially designed gas permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea to improve vision. At Central Eye Care, we use Orthokeratology primarily for myopia management, especially in children and teens. By wearing these lenses overnight, the cornea is gently reshaped, reducing the need for daytime eyewear while also slowing the progression of myopia. This method not only offers a clearer vision upon waking but also helps in managing the long-term health of your eyes by potentially decreasing the risks associated with high myopia. Dr. Raska is passionate about specialty Contact Lens fittings, and is dedicated to providing comprehensive eye exams and personalized Ortho-K fittings to ensure optimal results and comfort for our patients.

Scleral contact lenses are specialized lenses that fit over the entire corneal surface and extend onto the sclera (the white part of the eye). They create a fluid-filled reservoir over the cornea, providing comfort for individuals with dry eye disease, keratoconus, or other corneal irregularities. At Central Eye Care, our expert optometrist conducts thorough vision exams and personalized contact lens fittings to ensure the best match for your eye shape and needs. We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your ocular health, ensuring a comfortable and effective solution. Book an appointment with us to explore how scleral lenses can improve your vision and comfort.

At Central Eye Care, we focus on early detection and treatment of vision problems in kids. Dr. Raska will thoroughly examine your child's vision and eye health, including tests for visual acuity, eye coordination, and depth perception. We also screen for conditions like lazy eye and crossed eyes, and check overall eye health. Our friendly approach ensures your child feels comfortable and stress-free. Choosing us means you're supporting your child's long-term vision health.

We recommend your child's first eye exam at around 6 months old. Early exams ensure proper eye development and detect potential vision issues. Follow-up exams should be at age 3 and before starting school (around age 5 or 6). Regular exams help catch conditions like lazy eye and crossed eyes early. Our team provides thorough and compassionate care tailored to your child's needs.

A: Myopia Management refers to the specialized approach to slow down the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children and young adults. At Central Eye Care, we offer a comprehensive myopia management program tailored to the needs of our patients. This includes thorough vision exams, personalized treatment plans involving specialized contact lenses or glasses, and in some cases, medication. Our myopia management care is designed to not only correct current vision issues but also to prevent future eye health problems that can be caused by high myopia, such as retinal detachment or glaucoma. Our experienced optometrist's use the latest diagnostic tools and technologies to monitor and manage your child's eye health closely. By providing a proactive and individualized approach, Dr. Raska aims to ensure the best possible long-term outcomes for our patients' vision and overall eye health. If you have concerns about your child's nearsightedness, schedule an appointment with us to discuss how our myopia management care can help.
