There is no question that eye doctors are critical to maintaining overall wellness. They help us take care of our vision and keep our eyes healthy. But with so many different eye doctors to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? At Stratton Eyes, we want to help you understand the factors you should consider when choosing an eye doctor, as well as some tips on how to find the best one for your needs.
What is an optometrist?
An optometrist is a doctor who is licensed to provide comprehensive eye care services, like;
- Eye exams and vision tests
- prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses
- diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and conditions
- management of vision problems
These are typically the doctors you would see on a regular basis to maintain your eye health and update any prescriptions.

Visiting a stale office and feeling like another number in a long line of patients can be frustrating and leave you feeling uncertain about your care. A critical piece to being a patient-focused team is having a staff that loves what they do and loves who they work with. You’ll see it on the faces of each one of our team members. They love serving you and that makes your experience even better.
