Learn About Your Eyes...
Q What is a Comprehensive Eye Examination?
A At Mountain Eye Care, a comprehensive eye exam is
thorough and comfortable. Dr. Zissman checks your eyes
for eye conditions and diseases. He also examines your
visual abilities and determines your current glasses or
contact lens prescription. Dr. Zissman uses advanced
diagnostic equipment throughout your eye exam.
Q What is LASIK surgery?
A LASIK uses a cool beam of light from a laser to gently
reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye in order to
correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Dr. Zissman works with the best eye surgeons in the
region. Mountain Eye Care offers complimentary LASIK
consultations to patients considering this surgery. After
patients receive LASIK surgery, Dr. Zissman provides them
with excellent post-operative care at Mountain Eye Care.

Q What are Cataracts and Glaucoma?
A They are eye diseases. Cataracts occur when your lens
becomes hazy or cloudy, which may impair your vision.
Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision.
Glaucoma is a painless disease that gradually destroys the
optic nerve. The most common cause of Glaucoma is high
eye pressure, which can usually be treated with drops.
Q How does my Diabetes affect my eyes?
A Because Diabetes can damage your retina, you should
schedule a dilated retinal exam every year. Retinal damage
can be treated if it is discovered early.
Q How can I tell if I have Macular Degeneration?
