Advanced Eye Care Center

Specialties

There are followers and there are leaders and in optometry, Dr. George Johnson is a leader. He has always believed in being an early adopter of new eye care technologies to better serve his patients. He has been adding new diagnostic instruments to his practice even when other offices were not. This leadership paid off when using one of his advanced instruments he discovered a problem with a patient’s side vision that indicated either a brain tumor or aneurysm in the brain. Dr. Johnson immediately referred the patient to a specialist who in fact discovered an aneurysm. The patient could have easily died if the blood vessel had ruptured. He had surgery to repair the blood vessel and all was well.

We encourage all patients to get annual eye examinations. The patient who had a brain aneurysm simply made an appointment for his annual eye examination without having any symptoms of a vision problem. He expected a routine visit, but eye exam with the new instrument probably saved his life.
