WHAT MAKES ABITA DIFFERENT

Abita's eye doctors treat their patients like family. When a patient walks through the door, we look at your medical history, listen to what is bothering you, and do a comprehensive examination. The eye is the window into the body. Careful and thorough examinations allow us to see into the health of a person's circulatory, nervous, and other systems.

Caring about a patient means caring about their overall health and spending quality time with the patient. At Abita we take that responsibility seriously.

WHY CHOOSE ABITA

The vast majority of eye conditions and diseases that could impact your eyes are asymptomatic. That means you can’t detect them until they become a serious issue that could impact your vision, and leave you feeling uncertain about how serious your eye issue is, nervous about where/how to seek treatment. You might be wondering, should you see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist? Do you need to go to a doctor at all? These are your eyes we’re talking about here - could you imagine life without sight? We understand you can’t afford to risk your eyesight on bad advice.

Guidance

Work with experienced, highly trained eyecare

professionals who understand how vision problems can limit your daily life.

Relief

Get relief from possible pain and discomfort, restoring or improving your vision.

Proactive Care

The eyes are the windows into the body. A proper exam can reveal the initial signs of many common serious conditions, which a primary care physician would otherwise need MRIs, CT Scans and other testing to identify diseases.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Get a comprehensive eye exam discussing medical history using advanced diagnostic equipment and the latest surgical procedures with skill and compassion to detect and treat a variety of eye diseases and address overall health.

				My daughter is 17 and needed surgery for her eyes, Dr. Bach took his time to explain the entire procedure, answer any and all questions, and the recovery was nothing short of amazing. I was very nervous about the procedure but he offers his patients a lot of confidence and reassurance. Dr. Bach is an excellent doctor and one that I would definitely recommend. His coworkers are very reassuring and helpful as well and were all very friendly.

				Dr. Bach is truly the best at his craft. Very attentive, kind and professional individual who has a special way with children. I sure hope that the staff could communicate via phone instead of sms, but I admit that they respond promptly. I will continue to see Dr. Bach for as long as I can to treat me and my family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?

An optometrist is a doctor who, after finishing their bachelor’s degree, trained for four more years in the anatomy, physiology, and diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Some optometrists may have even done residencies in advanced treatment of certain eye conditions.

An ophthalmologist is a physician, who, after completing medical school did an internship, followed by 3 years of training in eye diseases and their medical and surgical treatments, as well as possibly further fellowship training in subspecialties in the eye.

When should I see an ophthalmologist?

Most people are seen by their local optometrist for many years for regular eye exams, glasses and contacts, and medical treatments of certain eye diseases.

Most of the time, patients will not go to an ophthalmologist unless they need surgery or specialty care.

What can eye doctors see when they look in your eyes?

With a comprehensive eye exam, eye doctors can see the start of many eye and systemic conditions. Eye conditions may include glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Systemic conditions may include high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and even cancer.

Is an optometrist an eye doctor?

An optometrist is a fully licensed eye doctor who can prescribe glasses and contacts, and diagnose and treat many eye conditions.

Can optometrists treat eye diseases?

Yes! An optometrist can treat many eye conditions such as dry eye, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
