What Is Medical Eye Care?

Medical eye care focuses on diagnosing, treating, and monitoring conditions that affect your eyes and vision.

These visits are often billed to medical insurance rather than vision benefits because they address disease, injury, or symptoms that may put your sight at risk.

At Frontier Eye Clinic, medical eye care is delivered with the same efficient, straightforward approach as our routine eye exams, so you know what is happening and why at each step.

Eye Conditions & Concerns We Manage

Our eye doctors provide Fairbanks eye care for a wide range of medical concerns, from long-term disease monitoring to urgent problems that need prompt attention.

We use imaging and other tests to track changes over time, explain results in plain language, and create follow-up plans that fit your life.

Eye disease screening and dry eye care are an important part of this work, especially for patients with chronic health conditions.

Medical eye care may include:

  • Ongoing management of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease.

  • Evaluating sudden vision changes, flashes, floaters, eye pain, or eye injuries during office hours.

  • Non-device-based dry eye evaluation and treatment, including drops, lifestyle changes, and prescription options when appropriate.

  • Cataract and LASIK co-management before and after surgery in coordination with your surgeon.

  • Imaging and testing to monitor eye health over time, such as retinal photos and other specialized scans.
