Demystifying Eye Care Roles
-
Optometrists (ODs): Your primary eye doctors. They handle exams, prescriptions (glasses/contacts), and manage conditions like dry eye or glaucoma. If specialized care (e.g., surgery) is needed, they refer you to trusted specialists.
-
Ophthalmologists (MDs): Surgeons managing complex diseases. They often delegate routine prescriptions to technicians.
Why start with an optometrist?
They prioritize precise vision correction and partner with Seattle’s top surgeons for seamless referrals.
Specialized Contact Lens Referrals
While Cannon EyeCare excels in soft contact lenses, we refer RGP and Ortho-Keratology fittings to trusted partners:
-
Cascade Vision (Madison Valley)
-
Specialty Eye (Downtown Seattle)
This ensures you receive expert care for complex lens needs.
Why Modern Soft Contacts Outperform RGPs
Dr. Mark Cannon helps patients transition from rigid lenses to advanced soft contacts or glasses. Key benefits:
-
RGPs temporarily reshape corneas, requiring months to normalize
-
Early transition improves long-term eye health
-
Optimizes outcomes for future procedures (e.g., cataract surgery)
Experience comfortable vision with today’s cutting-edge technology.
