What does EHNW mean in HEALTHCARE

Eye Health Northwest is staffed by board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and disorders.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends an adult over the age of 18 have their eyes examined every two years, unless you have a specific condition that requires more frequent visits.

Yes, contact lenses are typically very safe when used correctly and in accordance with your doctor's instructions. To ensure your safety, it's important to follow good hygiene practices such as washing your hands before handling your contacts and regularly replacing them as instructed.

Normal visual acuity typically ranges from 20/20 to 20/25, which means you can clearly see objects from 20 feet away that someone with normal vision should also be able to see from this distance.

It is generally recommended that adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every two years or more frequently if you experience any changes or issues with your vision. That being said, if you already know your prescription or don't require any additional testing then it may be possible to get glasses without getting a comprehensive eye exam. Be sure to talk to your doctor first before doing so!

While Eye Health Northwest does not offer laser eye surgery services, we do provide consultations for LASIK procedures with our partner practice Keystone Eye Consultants. We will work closely together to make sure you receive the best care for all aspects of your vision needs!

A prescription for corrective lenses typically has an expiration date of one year from the date it was issued by the doctor. If needed, our doctors can renew the prescription prior to expiration courtesy of an updated examination.

It's important to follow good hygiene practices while wearing contact lenses such as washing your hands before handling them and never wearing them past their prescribed lifetime or when sleeping or swimming. Additionally, always use fresh contact lens solution each time you insert/remove them and never reuse old solutions as they may harbor bacteria which could lead to infection if introduced into the eyes.
