Eye Care in Georgetown

How we work in Georgetown

• Comprehensive Vision Exams

  Comprehensive vision exams for Georgetown patients are family eye care with time to talk, not a refraction-only visit. Retinal imaging may be recommended by age or risk; we say why, what it screens for, and that it can be billed separately from the exam. You leave knowing what changed, what can wait, and what is optional.

• Scleral & Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses

  Scleral and hard-to-fit contact lenses are a core strength here, including rigid gas permeable designs for keratoconus and irregular corneas. Dr. Lutz lectures on this work and wears sclerals himself, so the fitting conversation covers comfort, handling, and insurance limits in plain language. Georgetown patients who already bounced off conventional contacts usually start in this chair.

• Dry Eye Assessment and Treatment

  Dry eye assessment and treatment looks past burning eyes and the bottle of drops on your nightstand. We evaluate the ocular surface and meibomian gland dysfunction, then match care to what we find. If a medical diagnosis shifts billing from a vision plan to medical insurance, we say so before you are surprised at checkout.

• Pediatric Eye Exams

  Pediatric eye exams give Georgetown kids family eye care with enough time to check more than the letter chart. Myopia that keeps strengthening is a reason to come in, not a reason to wait until school screening flags it. We explain findings to parents in short sentences and leave room for questions.

• Diabetic Eye Exams

  Diabetic eye exams are medical eye care aimed at early detection, not a quick glasses update. Georgetown patients managing diabetes need someone who treats the eyes as part of a chronic condition. We document what we see, explain it, and coordinate when a finding needs closer follow-up.

• Myopia Management & Ortho-K

  Myopia management and ortho-k, including CRT lenses, are for kids whose prescriptions keep climbing. Before overnight wear starts, we walk Georgetown parents through what the treatment is, what it is not, and how follow-up works. No invented promises on cost; we talk process and fit so you can decide with your eyes open.

• Ocular Disease Management

  Ocular disease management is ongoing monitoring when a finding is not a one-visit fix. Early detection only helps if someone is watching the next chapter. Georgetown patients who want medical eye care without a hospital-clinic feel use this practice for that longer relationship.

• LASIK Co-Management

  LASIK co-management covers pre-op and post-op care and referral coordination when surgery is on the table. We stay the local optometry home so Georgetown patients are not left piecing visits together after the procedure. Questions about healing, drops, and when vision should settle get answered here.

• Contact Lens Exams

  Contact lens exams cover daily disposables, monthlies, and astigmatism, with tradeoffs named: comfort, hygiene, ocular surface health, and the usual annual-supply gap between an office and online. Switching modalities is a choice after that conversation, not a conversion target. You can order through us or take a current prescription elsewhere within applicable rules.

• Eye Glass Lens Options

  Eye glass lens options include new frames or keeping current frames and making only the lenses. Pupillary distance and the written prescription are part of a transparent records request, not a bargaining chip. If new glasses look sharp straight ahead but show color fringing toward a phone, we look at the lens and the fit before telling you to “get used to it.”

• Sunglasses

  Sunglasses here include prescription sunglasses and curated eyewear with UV protection, including optical-only visits when you already have a current exam. Georgetown patients who shop frames or sun on a vision plan can do that without being pushed into a new refraction they do not need. We will still say when an expired prescription means an exam comes first.
