What is EyeDentify?
It doesn’t take research to know that our most precious sense is our vision. As we continue to live longer keeping our vision in good shape becomes harder to do. With blue light exposure, macular degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma increasing as our leading causes of blindness, we at Citrus Vision wanted to do more to find these eye diseases earlier so we are excited to announce “EyeDentify!”
EyeDentify is a series of screenings using brand new state of the art equipment. One screening counts the number of nerves you have in the optic nerve and macula. Another screening checks your peripheral and central vision which is not only affected by your eyes but your brain. A third screening maps the front part of your eye, called the cornea, which is especially important for those who have had eye surgery including LASIK and/or cataract surgery.
These screenings then compare your results to national norms so we have an immediate idea of how things are going. We then keep your results allowing us to compare changes over time with future screenings. There is a difference between what is considered normal and what is normal for you personally. Early detection is the first step to preserving your vision.
Although we recommend these screenings yearly for everyone, there are certain patients who we will require to have some of the screenings. These patients include diabetics, persons over the age of 65, new contact lens wearers, anyone who has had eye surgery including LASIK and/or cataract surgery and anyone with vision in only one eye. We do include these screenings in our medical exams. For those who prefer to use their vision insurance, you can just pay the difference for the screenings.
Based upon your results, you may be a candidate to improve your screening scores through nutrition and protection with customized eyeglass lenses. Studies have found improving nutrition is one the easiest, modifiable risk factors for decreasing our odds of getting many eye diseases. Since food is no longer food and vitamin levels are not government regulated, you may not be getting what you’re paying for with your current diet or supplements. To help with this, we have partnered with a top eye care company called EyePromise, who make nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals are pharmalogical grade supplements made with high quality ingredients. We offer 4 different formulations of nutraceuticals to coincide with your specific needs.
Please see our Fees for Services and Materials page for specific pricing on each screening, nutraceutical and specialized lens options. We have a package price of $65 for all our EyeDentify screenings. It can be at the same time as your yearly eye exam or at a different time if you prefer as the screenings take about half an hour. If you have any questions please text our office at (352)726-2085
Depending on the results of these screenings we may involve other health care providers in your vision and eye health. We have specialists as they are the best at what they do and if your eyes or vision warrant a visit with them it is because we have your best interest in mind.
