The difference between an optical shop and an ophthalmology office like Jackson Eye Associates is the range of care offered. Their services do include eye exams but they specialize in more complex treatments for things such as glaucoma, cataracts, muscular disorders of the eye, eye injury, and eye disorders of infants, children and teenagers. They are also experienced in a range of laser vision surgeries and cosmetic eye surgery such as "eyelid lifts."
At JEA, a team of medical professionals including technicians, experienced nurses and medical doctors (MDs) are involved in your care. If you receive eye exams elsewhere, they are happy to work with your eye care professional to meet your more complex eye care needs. They have many respected colleagues in the optical field and are able to team with them to coordinate all aspects of your eye care.
