Frequently Asked Questions

As a primary care optometrist, Dr. Kathryn is often the first line of defense for your eye health. She provides comprehensive routine eye care, updates glasses and contact lens prescriptions, and actively screens for early signs of serious eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in the back of your eye, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy—often long before you notice any changes in your vision. Dr. Kathryn has specialized clinical experience in diabetic eye disease and performs thorough, dilated diabetic eye exams to detect and manage these issues early, helping to preserve your sight.

Absolutely. Dr. Kathryn has a strong clinical passion for contact lenses. Whether you are a first-time wearer, need toric lenses for astigmatism, or require multifocal contacts, she takes the time to precisely measure your eyes and find the most comfortable, healthy fit for your lifestyle.

Dr. Kathryn provides expert medical optometry and preventative care. If during your routine exam she discovers a condition that requires surgery—such as cataracts or a retinal issue—she will seamlessly refer you to one of Ocala Eye’s specialized surgeons. After your procedure, she will often continue to manage your long-term, post-operative eye health.

Not at all! Dr. Kathryn is highly dedicated to preventative care. You can—and should—schedule annual routine eye exams with her to keep your glasses prescription up to date, renew your contact lenses, and ensure your eyes remain healthy as you age.
