Hussey Optometry Office - Eric S Hussey OD

read moreWe cover a broad spectrum of eye care including "routine vision examinations, " glasses and contact lenses, treatment of infections and glaucoma, and assistance in managing things like cataracts, as well as our focus on vision therapy for binocular vision problems. The reason I put quotes around "routine vision examinations" is that there are no truly "routine" vision examinations. As our logo says, we work to improve vision through therapy and research. Our research focuses on how eyes work together, specifically intermittent central suppression and its effect on reading.

After I had an internet meeting with some high school friends last week I wondered when the last time was that any of these guys laughed? We're instructed that everyone must live in the basement not coming close to other humans until "it's safe." Until we "get the all clear." People are panicked! Can you imagine any of these modern doomsday promoters climbing on a wooden ship to go to the New World, or signing the Declaration of Independence?

read moreAs Dr. EYEnstein said on the home page, there are no "routine examinations." However, Dr. Hussey strives to test all patients in as thorough, regular and systematic a way as possible. The reason is simple: The only way to differentiate normal from deficient is to see the differences between the two on identical testing. Our research is very clear: Currently there are no quick tests to look for intermittent central suppression. We have to watch over time, and our routine examination procedures are designed to do just that.

read moreWe have published and continue to research and work to publish in areas of binocularity. Dr. Hussey has gone past 30 papers published, almost entirely in peer-reviewed journals. PDFs of those papers are here for reading and downloading. Always remember that the papers are aimed at a professional audience, so they may not be written in the most reader-friendly way. Also in this area are some videos either from our research with Eyetronix, or some videos Dr. Hussey made to explain problems with binocular vision in a more friendly video format.

read moreWe do our best to work with your insurance. However, it's important to understand, it's your insurance, not ours. We have no control over your purchase of insurance products, nor over how arbitrarily your insurance company applies their rules for provider payment. Do your research prior to buying and using your insurance. We tend to accept insurances that deal with us fairly, and shed those that don't. If we don't take your insurance, we may well have had a bad experience. Most of the time our staff can help you understand your insurance benefits.
