Vision Exams for Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses
| Dr. Neil Bleakley has provided quality vision care for over 32 years. His office is located in the new Dulles Town Center Mall in eastern Loudoun County on the upper level next to Sterling Optical, near Lord & Taylor. His office accepts most insurance, and will be glad to call your insurance company to see what vision exam benefits you have. |
NEW Technology! Eye Wellness Scan
Ultra wide digital image of your retina without using eye drops.
In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Dr. Bleakley is proud to announce the availability of the Optomap Retinal Exam.
The doctor is concerned about retinal problems including macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes, growths and detachments, and systemic diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. These conditions can lead to serious health problems, including partial loss of vision or blindness, and often develop without warning and progress with no symptoms.
An Optomap exam provides:
- An eye wellness exam
- An in depth view of the retinal layers (where disease can start)
Conventional non-dilated viewing area
Optomap Retinal viewing area
- The ability for you to view your Optomap retinal image with your doctor during your exam
- An annual permanent record for your medical file, which gives your doctor comparisons for tracking and diagnosing potential eye disease
- Convenient way to inspect the retina for Diabetic Retinopathy without eye drops.
The Optomap exam is fast, easy, and comfortable.
Insurance typically does not cover any advanced screening technology beyond the general eye exam. Your doctor prescribes the Optomap retinal exam for all patients. We will be performing the Optomap Retinal Exam as an enhancement to the general eye exam for a nominal fee of $31 (children under 18, $25).
Don’t Let Glaucoma Steal Your Vision.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, over two million Americans have glaucoma and more than half of them aren’t aware of it.1 Glaucoma is often called the “sneak thief of sight” because it is painless and symptoms appear slowly. In addition, the common “puff test” has been shown to miss the disease in one third of patients who have glaucoma. Unfortunately, many patients remain unaware they have the disease until it is quite advanced. Regular eye examinations utilizing the latest technology can help you protect your vision from glaucoma.
Answer the questions below to find out if you are at risk:
Do you have:
- A Family History of Glaucoma?
- African-American or Latino Ancestry?
- High Eye Pressure?
If you answered no to all three of the above questions, a complete eye exam is still strongly recommended if:
- You are 20–29 years old and have never had a complete eye exam
- You are 30–39 years old and it has been over 5 years since your last complete eye exam
- You are 40–64 years old and it has been over 2 years since your last complete eye exam
- You are 65 or older and it has been over a year since your last complete eye exam
A better glaucoma detection technology
If you are at risk according to the questions or criteria above, our office would like to offer you the ZEISS GDx™ glaucoma exam. This significant diagnostic breakthrough has been found to provide precise, accurate information to help diagnose glaucoma earlier, and could help us start treatment before any vision loss occurs.
The ZEISS GDx exam is safe and comfortable and takes 3 minutes or less. The ZEISS GDx scans the retinal nerve fiber layer in the back of the eye using polarized light and measures its thickness at 36,000 points.
These measurements are then mapped by computer and compared to those of healthy, glaucoma-free patients. An abnormally thin nerve fiber layer indicates that glaucoma may be present.
What makes the Zeiss GDx exam so revolutionary?
Unlike the puff test, the Zeiss GDx exam actually lets your doctor see the pattern and thickness of the nerve fibers in the back of your eyes, then compares the results to normal values. If your nerve fibers are thinner than normal, this could indicate glaucoma long before any vision has been lost. As a result, your doctor will have more time to treat the disease.
How does the Zeiss GDx exam work?
The test is a quick and comfortable part of a complete eye exam. Plus, you don’t have to have your pupils dilated. You simply look into the Zeiss GDx system while it safely scans the back of your eye. Total exam time usually takes less than a minute, and the system creates easy-to-read images that your doctor can quickly analyze.
How does the Zeiss GDx exam work?
Including the ZEISS GDx exam in our practice is another example of our commitment to provide the most advanced and comprehensive eyecare services. If you have any questions about your vision or the health of your eyes, please contact our office. We are more than happy to help with any of your eye care needs.
