TECHNOLOGY MATTERS
Middletown Eye Care is committed to keeping ahead of the curve when it comes to eye care technology. Our physicians use the most advanced technologies to diagnose diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration because early diagnosis can improve your outcome. Our physicians want to help preserve your vision for a lifetime. We can also help you understand the different kinds of refractive eye surgeries, including LASIK, PRK, Refractive Lens Exchange and Visian ICLs, and we can help you decide what type of surgery, if any, may be right for you.
WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DO TECHNICIANS HAVE?
Most Certified Ophthalmic Assistants (COAs) and Certified Ophthalmic Technicians (COTs) are trained on the job with an ophthalmologist. You must work with an ophthalmologist a required number of hours and then pass a written exam with an accredited company to become certified. We’re proud to say that all of our technicians are certified.
