OPTOMETRY

The Lake Roosevelt Community Health Center’s (LRCHC) Optometry Department provides eye examination and eye care services. These include prescriptions for and provision of glasses and contact lenses, contact lens fittings, eye health examinations for early detection of diabetic retinopathy, ocular muscle disorders, macular degeneration, pupil disorders, cataracts, blocked blood vessels in the eye, and other medical conditions of the eye. We provide diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia (lazy eye) in pre-school and school age children. At the clinic we treat eye conditions within the scope of our practice (glaucoma, dry eye, corneal foreign body removal, cataract surgery follow up examinations), and where appropriate, we refer patients to specialists. We look forward to providing eye care health and services.
