What Services Are Available at Your First Hill Eye Clinic?
Our First Hill office offers specialty eye care including cataract surgery, glaucoma care, cornea treatment, retinal care, dry eye treatment, and pediatric eye services.
When Should I See an Ophthalmologist in First Hill?
Patients often see an ophthalmologist when they need medical diagnosis, specialty treatment, surgery evaluation, or follow-up care for ongoing eye conditions.
What is a Cataract?
Cataract surgery is performed when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making daily activities difficult due to reduced vision. During surgery, the surgeon removes the natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), using state-of-the-art technology and microsurgical technique tailored to each patient. Premium lens options, including toric, multifocal, and toric multifocal implants, are also available.
Am I a Candidate for LASIK?
Our specially trained staff can answer questions about refractive surgery and would be happy to schedule a free evaluation to help determine your candidacy.
Do I Need an Appointment to Get Contacts or Glasses?
Your doctor will give you a glasses prescription after your visit, and you do not need a separate appointment to see one of our opticians. For contact lenses, Washington State law requires you to see one of our contact lens specialists in addition to the doctor. If you already wear contacts, bring them to your appointment.
