Ophthalmologist consultation — FAQ

Can an ophthalmologist update my glasses prescription online?

Not directly — that requires an eye exam with specific equipment. The doctor can review your current prescription and symptoms and refer you for an in-person refraction.

Can red eye be diagnosed over video?

Yes in most cases — the doctor will examine photos and symptoms to distinguish conjunctivitis, allergies, or dry eye.

When should I go to the ER for eye issues?

Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, trauma, or flashing lights and floaters warrant immediate in-person emergency care.
