General Practitioners

Primary Care
Contact information for your primary care provider is also useful so that our eye doctor can be in touch about any issues that should be followed up on.
Ear Infections
Visual balance disorders are conditions where the patient feels dizzy or unsteady. Often, it feels as if the sufferer or the world is spinning or moving even while lying down. Visual balance disorders can be caused by viruses, ear infections, and problems with visual processing. Itâ€™s also a frequent problem with patients who have suffered a brain injury. Lenses, prisms, and visual rehabilitation activities through Vision Therapy are highly effective at treating visual balance conditions.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Please call our Five Points Eye Care office atÂ 706-543-2020 for further instructions. Use your best judgment on urgency, if you feel your need to find the nearest emergency room.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
OCT is one of the latest high-tech diagnostic tools in the defense against glaucoma.Glaucoma, usually indicated by abnormally high pressure inside the eye, can develop into blindness. OCT can help us determine a patient's potential to develop glaucoma before tissue damage occurs, allowing us to consider treatment options long before other tests would have even diagnosed the condition. The sooner glaucoma is detected, the better the chance of preserving vision.
Macular Degeneration
When OCT scans are performed on the retina, the images produced give a cross-section of the macula in such detail that the different layers of the retina can be distinguished which allows better diagnosis of retinal diseases. With this diagnostic tool treatment for macular degeneration and retinal swelling from diabetesÂ can be monitored, enabling ourÂ Athens eye doctors to assess whether or not more treatments are necessary.
Laser Eye Surgery
Do you want to be glasses and contacts-free but donâ€™t qualify for laser eye surgery? Or, perhaps youâ€™re concerned with surgery-related complications and desire a safer option? Imagine waking up every morning with clear and sharp vision. Thanks to these specialty lenses, you donâ€™t have to wear glasses or contacts during the day, and best of all â€” itâ€™s surgery-free.
Cataracts
Frequent replacement lenses are available in both nearsighted and farsighted corrections and toric lenses can correct for astigmatism as well. There are also designs that can help people over 40 see at both distance and when reading. Frequent replacement contact lenses are also available in several color choices, from enhancer tints to opaque lenses, designed to completely change the color of the eye. Some contact lenses even offer protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation, a leading contributor to the formation of cataracts and certain retinal problems.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery does not typically worsen dry eyes, as only two very small incisions, less than 2mm each, are made in the cornea during this operation. They heal quickly after surgery. Many eye doctors will assess and treat dry eyes prior to cataract surgery, as a pre-existing dry eye condition can sometimes influence the accuracy of measurements, affecting quality of the vision following the surgery.
Eye Exam
If your child has been diagnosed with a reading or learning difficulty or just not reaching their potential at school, or on the sports field, schedule an appointment with Dr. Meg Brya in Athens for a functional eye exam. Over 17 visual skills will be assessed, including eye tracking, reading fluency, focusing and depth perception.

Neurology
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation therapy is a customized treatment program for patients whose stroke, traumatic brain injury, concussion, neurological condition or disease has resulted in visual deficits. It applies the latest methods and treatments of neuro-plasticity and vision function to help patients develop or regain the essential visual skills necessary for learning and optimal daily function.
Autism
Multiple Sclerosis
Evaluates your peripheral vision by asking you to press a button every time you see a flashing light shown in one of the quadrants within the viewing window of the machine as you look straight ahead. Peripheral vision loss can be a sign of glaucoma, optic nerve diseases, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and more.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Moreover, children with undiagnosed visual issues are often misdiagnosed with a variety of ]behavior]-related syndromes, such as ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. In certain social environments, they may even be labeled as unintelligent or misbehaved, all of which can adversely impact their social status and emotional state.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
Utilizing cutting edge technology, we are diagnosing and managing, with greater precision, diseases like Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration Cataracts, and Diabetic Retinopathy. Earlier and more precise diagnosis means earlier treatment and better outcomes. Our Athens optometrists are taking an aggressive approach to diseases that previously had few treatment options. Great advances have been made in the treatment of these diseases.

Radiation Therapy
Complications from certain medical procedures, including eye surgery and radiation therapy, will very often result in DES. Radiation therapy to treat head and neck cancers, cancer of the eye socket or whole brain radiation for brain cancer, often damages the lacrimal glands. The glands may decrease tear production and cause dry eye symptoms.

Whiplash
The most affected demographic are children and teens, and of those, more than 60% experience visual symptoms. Older people are also prone to concussions. If you or a family member has sustained a concussion or even whiplash â€” such as from a violent blow to the head â€” we strongly urge you to get your eyes examined as soon as possible.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Vision therapy is a non-surgical treatment program that is typically compared to physical therapy, but for the eyes and brain. Vision therapy uses exercises, lenses, specific instruments, and occlusions to enhance visual function.
