Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam?
Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years. Golden Triangle Eye Center recommends annual exams if you wear glasses or contacts, have diabetes, or have a family history of eye disease. Children should be seen more frequently, starting with an exam before starting school. Regular exams help catch problems like glaucoma and macular degeneration early, when treatment works best.
Does Golden Triangle Eye Center accept walk-in patients?
Yes, Golden Triangle Eye Center welcomes walk-in patients at both the Columbus, MS and Aliceville, AL locations. Walk-ins may have a longer wait time than scheduled appointments, but the team works to see every patient as quickly as possible. Scheduling ahead of time is the fastest way to be seen.
What insurance plans does Golden Triangle Eye Center accept?
Golden Triangle Eye Center accepts many major vision and medical insurance plans, including VSP Vision Care, EyeMed, BlueCross BlueShield, TRICARE, Humana, Medicare Part B, Medicaid, Optum, and more. CareCredit is also accepted as a payment option. Contact our office to confirm your specific plan before your visit.
What happens during a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive eye exam at Golden Triangle Eye Center takes about one hour and fifteen minutes and includes vision testing, a health check of your eyes, and screening for conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. The doctor reviews your results with you and explains any findings in plain language. You will leave knowing your prescription and any next steps for your eye health.
Can I get contact lenses fitted at Golden Triangle Eye Center?
Yes, Golden Triangle Eye Center fits daily, weekly, and monthly disposable contact lenses as well as conventional (vial) lenses. A contact lens fitting is a separate appointment from a standard eye exam and ensures your lenses match both your prescription and the shape of your eye. Call us to schedule a contact lens fitting at your convenience.
What is dry eye disease and how is it treated?
Dry eye disease is a condition where your eyes do not make enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing dryness, itching, and blurred vision. Golden Triangle Eye Center offers several treatment options depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Most patients find relief with a combination of in-office care and at-home steps recommended by Dr. Ford.
How can I help prevent macular degeneration?
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent macular degeneration (damage to the central part of your vision), wearing UV-protective sunglasses, eating foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, and taking recommended nutritional supplements may slow its progression. Dr. Lee Ford at Golden Triangle Eye Center advises patients to exercise regularly and avoid smoking, as both lifestyle factors are linked to eye health. Ask during your next exam which steps are right for you.
