A comprehensive eye examination is much more than just checking if you need glasses. Dr. Mays performs a thorough evaluation of your complete eye health and visual system using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.

During your examination, Dr. Mays will assess your visual acuity, check for refractive errors, measure your eye pressure, and perform a detailed examination of both the front and back of your eyes. Digital retinal photography and advanced imaging technology allow for early detection of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, often before symptoms appear. This comprehensive approach ensures that any vision problems or eye health issues are identified and addressed promptly.

Cataracts are a natural part of aging that cause the lens of your eye to become cloudy, resulting in blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Dr. Mays specializes in advanced cataract surgery using modern phacoemulsification techniques.

The procedure involves making a small incision and using ultrasound energy to gently break up and remove the clouded natural lens. A new, clear intraocular lens implant is then placed to restore your vision. Dr. Mays offers premium lens options, including toric lenses for patients with astigmatism. Most patients experience rapid visual improvement and can return to normal activities within a few days. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with comprehensive pre and post-operative care to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Glaucoma is often called the 'silent thief of sight' because it typically progresses without symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Early detection and proper management are crucial to preserving your vision.

Dr. Mays uses advanced diagnostic technology to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages, including intraocular pressure monitoring, detailed optic nerve evaluation and photography, computerized visual field testing, and OCT imaging to assess the health of your optic nerve fibers. If glaucoma is detected, Dr. Mays will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or other treatments. Regular monitoring and follow-up care ensure that your treatment remains effective and your vision is preserved.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision needed for reading and recognizing faces. Dr. Mays provides comprehensive care to help preserve your central vision and maintain your independence.

Using advanced imaging technology including optical coherence tomography (OCT), Dr. Mays can detect even the earliest signs of macular degeneration and monitor its progression over time. Treatment may include nutritional counseling and recommendations for specific vitamin supplements that have been shown to slow disease progression. For patients with more advanced AMD, Dr. Mays provides referrals for specialized treatments and low vision rehabilitation services to help maximize remaining vision and maintain quality of life.

Diabetes can cause serious complications in your eyes, including diabetic retinopathy, which is a leading cause of blindness in adults. Dr. Mays provides specialized eye care for diabetic patients to prevent vision loss and maintain healthy eyesight.

Regular dilated eye examinations are essential for diabetic patients, as diabetic retinopathy often develops without symptoms. Dr. Mays uses digital retinal photography and advanced imaging to detect even the earliest signs of diabetic eye disease. He works closely with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to ensure coordinated care and optimal blood sugar management. Early detection and prompt treatment of diabetic retinopathy can prevent or delay vision loss, making regular eye exams a critical part of your diabetes management plan.
