Selecting your OD

Selecting your Optometrist may be more involved than you think. Did you know that there are several different types of Optometrists? Not all Optometrists have chosen to specialize in the treatment of all ocular diseases. In fact, there are three levels of Optometric certification. Consider the following definitions provided by the Texas Optometry Board:

An OPTOMETRIST is a health care practitioner trained to diagnose signs of ocular, neurological and systemic health problems and treat vision disorders. A THERAPEUTIC OPTOMETRIST is an Optometrist who may also treat eye diseases and injuries, prescribe medicine and perform other procedures such as foreign body removal. An OPTOMETRIC GLAUCOMA SPECIALIST is a therapeutic optometrist who is also licensed to treat glaucoma and can prescribe oral medications.

Dr. Greg Harrison, Dr. Carey Brooks, and Dr. Anthony Borgognoni have each continued their licensing to the highest level and are certified as Optometric Glaucoma Specialists. In addition to diagnosing and treating glaucoma, our doctors also manage and treat many other ocular conditions including dry eye, red and swollen eyes, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, and many other retinal conditions.

Not only do our doctors specialize in ocular pathology, they are also experts in refractive therapies, contact lenses, and refractive surgery co-management including LASIK and PRK procedures.

you can be assured you are receiving the highest level of care and technology.
