Refer My Patients

One of the benefits I enjoy of working in private practice is the ability to refer my patients to an appropriate professional whom I feel would be better in caring for a patient with a particular problem or situation. I generally don't work with infants but I inform my adult patients that they should have their infants evaluated visually by another eyecare professional who specializes with this patient population. Patients who have diabetes who are manifesting eye problems such as hemorrhaging in the back of the eyes are also referred. Patients who have extremely poor vision, even with glasses or contacts lenses, are referred to doctors who specialize in an area of optometry called "low vision."
