Q: What does comprehensive ophthalmology cover, and why is it important?
A: Comprehensive ophthalmology encompasses a full spectrum of eye care—from routine vision screenings and medical management of eye diseases to advanced surgical procedures. Routine annual exams are important because this allows the early detection of asymptomatic diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration before irreversible damage occurs. It also helps with monitoring conditions like cataracts and refractive errors. Services include management of a spectrum of eye disorders, as well as cataract surgery, pterygium surgery, blepharoplasty, and other surgical procedures.
Q: What is Dr. Moore’s background and areas of expertise?
A: Dr. Moore is a board certified ophthalmologist with the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He has been in practice at Fort Worth Eye Associates since 2017. He attended The University of Texas at Austin for his undergraduate degree, then earned his medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. He then completed an internal medicine internship in 2014 and an ophthalmology residency in 2017. His expertise spans cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, uveitis, and monitoring for ocular effects of systemic diseases and medications. He prides himself in performing high quality cataract surgery with the latest technology and advanced intraocular lenses, including the Light Adjustable Lens, multifocal lenses, and toric lenses.
Q: How often should adults get comprehensive ophthalmology exams?
A: The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends eye exams every one to two years for adults. This is especially important for people with diabetes and hypertension, or people with a family history of eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
Q: What is the patient care philosophy and track record of Dr. Moore?
A: Dr. Moore strives to provide high quality care to all patients, listening to people to understand their specific concerns and needs, and developing treatment plans to protect the long-term health of their vision. Fort Worth Eye Associates has been entrusted with the ocular health of the Fort Worth community for over 50 years, starting with Dr. William Ranelle and continuing through Dr. Ann Ranelle. Our entire team works hard to take care of people, treating our patients as we would members of our own families.
