How to choose an optometrist?

 So choosing an optometrists isn't easy. There's personalities that you have to match up with. You're gonna have to like their staff, their location. You're gonna have to know whether you want a big practice or a small practice. Do you want a more medical-based practice, or do you want someone who's really good with just general optometry and maybe contact lenses? 

Optometrists around me


So all of these questions remain out there and you're gonna have to find your way through all of this.

Go to google type eye doctors around me and that's gonna give you a list of eye doctors around you. That you may scope out and take a look at, and then when you get that list, I want you to then look at the Google reviewsand for most of them it's as easy as just scrolling over their name on the map and it's gonna tell you approximately where those reviews are. You are clearly gonna be able to rule out a 3.7 compared to a 4.9, but some of them may be close, and then when you get down to that point where you are really trying to hone in on who it's gonna be then you're gonna go to the next step. 

So the next step is going to be to go to their individual website and that's where you're really gonna get a good feel for who they are. Whether if you're looking for someone with experience, you're looking for someone younger that may be better with new technologies. 

You're gonna get a really good feel for who they are, and who their practice is and how big their practice is, and you may be looking for a big practiceor you may be looking for a smaller specialized practice. 

When you get to that point where looking for the information on a website, you may find something really good that you didn't know before. 

So now you're are gonna really be able to find the person who you think is going to be the best eye doctor for you. 

So now for that bonus tip at the end. So if you have chosen an optometrist who lives in the town you live in, this could be a really easy one. 

Go to facebook and look for your town group, whatever it is. And do a search for the doctor's name and a practice name and you're gonna find all the times that people have asked the question, I am looking for an eye doctor, and you can certainly ask the question, but I'm telling you that, I guarantee you that the question has been asked before and you're gonna get a lot of feedback. Not only on who you are looking at and what people think of them, but also no other doctors in the area that you may not have thought about or you might have glanced over. 

So I think that's a great way to end your search, and by then you've done all you can, good luck, because it can be really tough to find that right fit for you. AND i think this would work well not just for optometrists but for chiropractors, dentists, for really any medical professional. 

I hope this blog worked for you. If it did please comment below and let me know your views.

Eye Movement Dysfunction

The rotational movements of intorsion and extorsion are necessary to keep a viewed object stable and positioned on the appropriate part of the retina as the head is tilted from side to side. To illustrate imagine standing upright and looking at an arrow that is pointing superiorly.  Now tilt your head 45 degrees to the right, does the arrow move with your head? Now point at a 45 degree angle, hopefully not. Because of intorsion and extortion the arrow should still appear to be pointing superiorly. In this case the right eye has been intowarded and the left eye has been equivalently extorted so that the image falls on the same part of the retina as before the head tilt. Obviously our eye has a limited range of intorsion and extorsion. They cannot spin completely around within the orbit. And if we were to stand on our head the arrow would appear to change direction and appear to point inferiorly. Now, lets look at the movements produced by each of the extra oculum muscles. Medial and...
