Some issues Dr. Geneva Leigh Cleveland, OD can help you with:

Eye Problems

Millions of people every year have problems with their eyes. Some of the most common eye problems are refractive disorders, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and cataracts.

Refractive disorders happen when the shape of the eye doesn't let allow someone focus very precisely. They might be myopic (nearsighted), hyperopic (farsighted), or have an astigmatism, which is a focus problem caused by the cornea. Refractive disorders can be corrected by glasses or contacts.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. It happens when fluid pressure builds up within the eye and damages the optic nerve. It is treated with medications and surgery.

Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes. The retina is tissue at the back of the eye that is filled with numerous, tiny blood vessels. When diabetes damages these delicate blood vessels, they burst or leak, leading to blind spots and blurred vision. Diabetic retinopathy can be treated with laser therapy and surgery, but often vision cannot be restored.

Macular degeneration is common in older adults. The macula is the central part of the retina and is responsible for crisp center vision. Over time, the cells in the macula begin to die, making central vision blurry. An early symptom of macular degeneration is that straight lines appear wavy.

Cataracts happen when the clear lens in the front of the eye becomes cloudy, making things look blurry or faded. They are extremely common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans will have had a cataract. In early stages, prescription glasses and magnifying lenses can help. As the cataracts get worse, surgery to replace the lens may be the best option.

More than just one of the five senses, the eyes are heavily relied upon to communicate, work, and get around every day. It's important to have regular eye exams for vision stays in good shape for years to come.

Dr. Cleveland tries to be most understanding with you the first appointment, but all my follow-ups with her have felt rushed and like she was impatient, as well as insensitive about very difficult symptoms of a long term eye issue. Would recommend only for a one-time visit, if you’re in something for the long haul, find a doctor with better bedside manner who will fully listen and make you feel more comfortable.

Overall Rating: 3.0 2018-01-30

Interesting that some of the 5-star reviews include negative comments that seem like there should've been a less than top-rating. I got progressive lenses for the first time and had a really hard time adjusting. Got my second pair from someone else a year later and my vision is so much better - and the prescription is so much different/sharper - that I'm sure the first prescription wasn't accurate, and that's why I had a hard time adjusting to it. I picked up a rebate form for the contacts in the Dr's office, and the receipt provided by Dr. Cleveland's office was so bare-bones (didn't show the exact brand/type of contacts or how many boxes, just the cost for "Advance/Oasys, 1 yr" and a code number) that I couldn't qualify for the rebate - I asked several times for a better, itemized receipt but they couldn't/wouldn't provide one. I also asked for a copy of my contact lens prescription, which they wouldn't provide even though they're legally required to. When the contacts were ordered, the receptionist asked whether I wanted them mailed to my house or I wanted to pick them up, and I asked for them to be mailed to my house. When the receptionist called to let me know the contacts had been delivered to their office and I could come pick them up, I asked her to please mail them to my house (which she did). I went to a different optometrist this year and I'm much happier with the results.
