Comprehensive Eye Examinations
We know your vision is important to you – and it’s important to us. When you come for your appointment, we make sure to schedule ample time for your appointment so you will never feel rushed. Our office provides complete eye care for both adults and children. Our comprehensive eye examinations will check your eyes inside and out for any potential eye disorders or diseases. Your visual skills and abilities are carefully evaluated and appropriate treatment is prescribed, whether it’s medication, lenses, or vision therapy. We are prepared to handle whatever your eyecare needs are, and will treat them with the latest in diagnostic equipment and are committed to keeping up with eye care technology.
Any routine eye exam should always include a careful look at the retina, which is located at the back of the eye, to screen for abnormalities or disease. This sensitive tissue that makes up the retina is susceptible to a variety of eye diseases that can ultimately lead to partial loss of vision or even complete blindness. Early detection of any retinal abnormality is thus crucial. Previously, this screening was done by dilating the pupils, a procedure that many patients found uncomfortable, inconvenient and time consuming.
We provide state of the art digital retinal imaging. At the push of a button we can generate a computer image of your retina for immediate review with you by the doctor. This image can now become a permenant bench mark of your retinal health, allowing more expedient diagnosis of possible sight threatening visual disorders,now or in the future. Experience with this technology has led to improved patient education and disease detection which has prevented vision loss and blindness for many of our patients.

Contact Lenses
There have been many advances made to soft and gas permeable contact lenses recently. Our office has the latest in contact lens technology. Whether you have astigmatism or just a standard prescription, we stock a wide range of diagnostic lenses to fit you and your needs. We have the new Focus Night and Day lens. This lens has been approved for Continuous Wear of up to 30 days. We also offer the latest in colored contact lenses for dark and light eyes such as Expressions, Freshlook and Acuvue 2 Colours.
For many years we have been fitting patients that require specialty contact lenses. We are pleased to offer the new SynergEyes Hybrid Contact Lens. SynergEyes lenses deliver the crisp vision of a rigid lens plus the all- day comfort of a soft lens. They have special designs for keratoconus as well as those whose previous LASIK or RK refractive surgery is no longer providing adequate vision. In addition for our keratoconus patients the Truform Quadracone lens design and soft/rigid piggy back combinations often provide just the right fit. For more information about Keratoconus, try visiting the National Keratoconus Foundation web site. We also fit specialty contact lenses for patients who have extreemly high astigmatism, irregular corneas, post refractive surgery cases and those desiring bifocal and trifocal contact lenses. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions At: 972-613-9000.

Keratoconus, prior RK and LASIK as well as distorted and deformed corneas are our expertise. Whether bifocal or single vision, rigid or soft lenses, we are experienced in handling the most difficult of prescriptions.
DRY EYES have prevented countless people from success with contact lenses. New contact lens materials and/or dry eye treatments now allow success for millions of happy patients who previously failed.
If you have allergies, then you know allergies can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past many people had to quit wearing their lenses during the allergy season. However, new lens materials and allergy medications have made it possible for these people to eliminate the burning itchy eyes associated with allergies. Prescription medications such as Patanol, Alocril, and Alrex are amazingly effective and safe even in children as young as three. Let us know when you come in for your appointment if you have special allergy needs.
Dr. Robertson has recieved advanced training in the new Gentle Cornea Molding of: Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism and Presbyopia. Wear special therapeutic contact lenses while you sleep and awake in the morning with improved natural vision. Usually, within days to weeks, dramatic vision improvements occur. You need only wear retainer lenses periodically, much like dental retainers. The retainer contact lenses may be worn while you sleep a few nights a week or nightly. Dr.Robertson is A Paragon certified CRT practitioner as well as a Bausch and Lombe certified overnight Orthokeratology specialist. CRT, also known as Ortho-K, is a technologically advanced , non-surgical, reversable process which reshapes the cornea while you sleep freeing you from correcive lenses while awake. In other words, sleep in these special orthotic lenses at night and free yourself from corrective lenses during the day. Millions of people have benefited from this liberating experience.

Laser Vision Correction
Most people with vision correction issues are wanting to know more about LASIK and whether it is right for them. Here is a brief description of the procedure;
A flap is surgically cut in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape (this is much like a contact lens corrects vision by forming a new shape on the cornea). The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and the discomfort level is quite low.
People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have improved vision in 24-48 hours. but it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for some weeks, even months.
LASIK is not for everyone. People's eyes are different so even though you may have had a friend who has had LASIK, it may not be the best course of treatment for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to guide you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you.
After the procedure, we take great care to monitor your eyes and adjust your medication for the best possible results.
Call 972-613-EYES(3937) TODAY FOR A FREE LASIK CONSULTATION.

Surgery Co-Management
Our office provides many of the surgical services such as Cataract surgery, Laser surgery, Refractive surgery and Strabismic surgery. We offer this in conjunction with the hospital and local eye surgeons.
Additionally, we have working arrangements established with other specialized eye care doctors to manage such things are retinal detachments, retinal tears and hemmorhages.
Eye Infections, Eye Injuries, Dry Eyes
Our office provides emergency services for eye infections and eye injuries. Please call our office at 972-613-EYES(3937) during office hours. After hours or on weekends you may contact Dr. Robertson at 214-957-3433 by leaving a contact number. Your call will then be promptly returned. Our staff will work with you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. State of the art microscopes allow us to examine the front surface of the eye and facial areas around the eye for infection or injury. After assessing the extent of the injury or infection a treatment plan will be formulated and explained to you. Treatment may include medications, foriegn body removal with appropriate management and supportive care. Follow-up visits to monitor your recovery will be scheduled as needed.
Dry Eyes: Symptoms include scratchy eyes, burning, mild redness and gritty feeling eyes. Oral medications, reading, computer tasks and dry environments may aggravate marginally dry eyes. Dry eyes can be diagnosed by using dyes to observe tear patterns, evaluation of the amount of tears on the front of the eye and from review of your symptoms. Treatment may include artificial tears, prescription medications and/or punctal plugs inserted in the tear drainage canals.
ALLERGIES can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past many people had to quit wearing their lenses during the allergy seasons. New lens materials and allergy medications have made it possible for these people to eliminate itchy eyes. These medications such as Pataday, Patanol, and Elestat are amazingly effective and safe even in children as young as three.
Eye Diseases; Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetes
Cataracts: The natural lens in the eye gradually becomes less clear as we get older. When opacities develop in the lens and the lens gets too hazy, vision will be impaired. Our office can diagnose and manage cataract care. When the cataract affects the vision to the extent that you cannot read or see distant objects comfortably, we will recommend cataract surgery. Our office co-manages with cataract specialists that are proven experts in cataract surgery. Cataract surgery can provide you with a bright new world of vision.
Glaucoma: Glaucoma gradually destroys the optic nerve tissue in the back of the eye. The greatest danger of Glaucoma stems from the fact that the disease is painless and without obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. The most common cause is from pressure being too high inside the eye, but vascular disease and other diseases can also cause Glaucoma. We always monitor for Glaucoma during routine eye examinations. Tests include checking the pressure of the eye, screening for peripheral vision defects and analyzing the appearance of the optic nerve. If you are diagnosed with Glaucoma, we typically prescribe medications that lower the eye pressure. Most forms of Glaucoma are successfully treated with eye drops. Laser treatments and eye surgery are secondary treatments that offer alternative ways to treat more advanced Glaucoma.
Diabetes: Diabetic patients should have a dilated retinal examination each year. Laser treatments have proven to slow the progression of retinal eye disease for many patients. Diabetes often stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the back of the eye, which ultimately leak and damage the retina. If this condition is discovered early, laser treatment can destroy these vessels. We have the latest instruments used to detect changes in the back of the eye. Early intervention can save years of useful vision.

Vision Therapy
Seeing clearly is not enough. For many people, reading and hand-eye coordination tasks can be very difficult. The act of sight not only includes ones eyes, but it also includes the neurological activity that processes the visual information. Throwing a ball or skiing down a hill, is a learned activity; to do either well takes practice. Those who do it best are those who started learning at the earliest age. Sight plays an important role in the learning of these activities. Sight is the steering mechanism; it is the main activity that provides feedback regarding what really is happening. We provide Vision Therapy to help individuals learn how to process visual information and develop better hand-eye coordination skills.
