Eye Care
Eye Exams
Most of us fear losing vision above
all other forms of disability. Routine
annual eye exams are an important part of maintaining quality healthcare.
We use the latest technology to assess and diagnosis your visual
function and health in order to treat and preserve your precious
gift of sight.
Examinations include tests for vision acuity,
visual fields, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, macular degeneration,
diabetic retinopathy, corneal abnormalities and eye muscle disorders
to name a few. Retinal
evaluations are conducted utilizing the latest generation Optomap
scanning ophthalmoscope which makes pupil dilation unnecessary in
most cases. To learn more about this technology, follow this
link www.optomap.com
New diagnostic technology allows for high order
aberrations, blur and glare previously not correctable, to be evaluated. For
some of us, high order aberration correction lenses provide a level
of vision we have never experienced. For more information,
follow this link www.izonlens.com
At Southwest Vision, we take the time to discuss
your activities that tax your eyes. Computers can stress your eyes and cause
many ocular as well as overall symptoms. Sport activities such
as golf, cycling or water sports may be enhanced with the proper
eyewear.
Upon completion of the examination, we will discuss
with you what type of vision correction options are best suited
for your needs and lifestyle. Your eye health and vision
quality are our primary focus.
Contact Lens Services
Dr. DeWolfe provides
contact lens exams and fittings with the most up to date contact
lenses on the market. Corneal mapping (topography)
technology enables analysis of the corneal surface for more precise
fittings. With our large inventory of lenses, most patients
leave with their contact lenses on their very first visit. Advancements
in materials and designs make todays contact lens options safer and
more effective than ever. Whether you need spherical lenses,
toric lenses (to correct astigmatism) or mulitfocal contact lenses
(for those of us over 40), we have your lens options. For new
wearers, our experienced staff will instruct you on how to insert
and remove your contact lenses as well as proper lens care in order
for you to enjoy your contact lenses for many years to come.
Laser Vision Correction: LASIK,
PRK, Epi-LASIK
With only one pair of eyes, consideration of
surgery is a serious decision. Taking a careful, conservative approach helps to
insure you attain the best possible outcome. Dr. DeWolfe is
one of the founding partners of Laserview Correction Center, a leader
in innovative surgical techniques and the most experienced LASIK
center in Central Texas. At Southwest Vision, we help to educate
our patients so they may decide if laser vision correction surgery
is right for them. Dr. DeWolfe has over 12 years experience
managing his LASIK patients in preoperative surgical planning and
preparation as well as their postoperative care.

Eye Infections, Injuries, Allergies and Dry Eye
When
the unexpected occurs, we offer same day evaluations of suspected
infection and injury. Prompt treatment reduces your risk of
complications. We accept most medical insurance assignments
for these services and our staff will file claims for you.
We are lucky to live in the Austin area but it
is not called the “Allergy Capital of the World” for nothing. Allergic reactions
can make your eyes uncomfortable, contact lens wear difficult and
increase your risk for infection. Ask us about the latest proven
techniques in reducing your risk. For more information, follow
the link to www.pataday.com
Dry eyes have many causes such as advancing age,
allergies, computer use, anticholinergic medications, hormonal changes,
contact lens use and autoimmune disorders to name a few. Treatments include surface
lubricants, prescription eye drops to promote tear production, and
punctual plugs to increase tear volume. For more information,
please follow links to www.systane.com and www.restasis.com
