An important part of a comprehensive eye exam is identifying the right prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Many doctors evaluate a patient’s vision by finding the combination of lenses that offer “20/20” vision. However, there is much more involved in determining the best prescription for “perfect vision.”

A proper prescription should be based not only on the parameters that offer clear eyesight but also on a formula that gives the patient the greatest visual efficiency and allows the patient to process visual information seamlessly. This approach will result in glasses or contact lenses that provide the best eyesight, the greatest productivity and, most importantly, the greatest comfort.

Dr. Rozenberg uses the Nidek 5100 computerized vision testing system to fully evaluate each patient’s prescription needs. This latest technology allows him to first utilize objective computerized instruments to analyze the eyesight status, the lens prescription, the corneal shape and the amount of pressure in each eye. The Nidek then enables Dr. Rozenberg to examine the patient’s complete visual system with several computer-guided tests. Measurements can be made in extremely small, highly accurate units. Various prescriptions can then be noted and presented to the patient in quick successive order to let them see them difference.

Q: How often should I get my eyes examined?

A: The scheduling of eye exams varies with patients, but most optometrists agree an annual eye exam is reasonable, especially if you are a contact lens wearer.

Q: I have problems when I work on the computer, what can be done?

A: Contact lens wearers and spectacle wearers can now have specialized computer glasses that make working on a computer dramatically more comfortable than normal glasses or contact lenses. 10/10 Optics has a special instrument to measure the “lag of focus” at computer distance while patients look at a chart modeled like a screen. In addition, we asses the fit of the contact lenses to make sure the cause of the problem isn’t poor fit or lens dehydration.

Q: Can I get information on laser surgery?

A: Dr. Rozenberg is trained in the pre- and post-op care of laser surgery patients. He will carefully explain all of the benefits and risks, both short term and long term in laser and other surgical eye procedures. He will help you choose the right surgeon for your needs.
