What Does an Optometrist Do?

An optometrist is a primary healthcare professional who specializes in comprehensive eye and vision care. Optometrists complete four years of undergraduate education followed by four years of professional education at an accredited college of optometry, earning the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree.

Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Optometrists perform thorough eye exams that assess visual acuity, refractive status, eye coordination, eye health, and overall function. These exams detect not only vision problems but also eye diseases and even systemic health conditions that manifest in the eyes.

Vision Correction: Optometrists prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct refractive errors including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia. They ensure prescriptions provide clear, comfortable vision optimized for each patient's needs.

Disease Diagnosis and Management: Optometrists diagnose and manage eye diseases and conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye syndrome, and many others. They prescribe medications, provide treatments, and monitor conditions to preserve eye health and prevent vision loss.

Contact Lens Fittings: Optometrists are experts in fitting all types of contact lenses, from simple spherical soft lenses to complex specialty lenses for keratoconus, post-surgical eyes, and other challenging situations. Proper fitting ensures comfort, clear vision, and eye health.

Pre- and Post-Operative Care: Optometrists provide essential evaluations before refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK) and cataract surgery, as well as post-operative monitoring to ensure successful outcomes and proper healing.

Pediatric Vision Care: Optometrists examine children's eyes, detect developmental vision problems, and provide early intervention for conditions that could affect learning and development.

Low Vision Rehabilitation: For patients with vision loss that cannot be fully corrected with standard eyeglasses or contact lenses, optometrists provide low vision services including specialized devices and strategies to maximize remaining vision.

Meet Our Optometrists

At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, we're proud to have a team of three highly skilled, dedicated optometrists who work together to provide comprehensive care for all our patients:

Dr. Mark Page, OD - Founder & Lead Optometrist

Dr. Mark Page founded Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center in 1994 with a vision of creating an optometry practice where patients receive the highest level of clinical care in a warm, welcoming environment. With over 30 years of experience as an optometrist in Phoenix, Dr. Page has earned a reputation for thoroughness, expertise, and genuine compassion.

Dr. Page believes in taking time with each patient to fully understand their vision needs, lifestyle requirements, and health concerns. He's known for his ability to explain complex eye conditions in understandable terms and for including patients in treatment decisions. His philosophy of "old-fashioned service with modern technology" has guided the practice's growth and success over three decades.

Specializations include comprehensive eye examinations, contact lens fittings (including specialty lenses), management of ocular diseases, co-management of refractive and cataract surgeries, and diabetic eye care. Dr. Page's dedication to continuing education ensures he stays current with the latest advances in optometry, bringing cutting-edge care to his Phoenix patients.

Dr. Hao Nguyen, OD

Dr. Hao Nguyen joined Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center bringing expertise in advanced contact lens fittings and specialty lens applications. His particular interest in challenging contact lens cases makes him the go-to optometrist for patients with keratoconus, high astigmatism, post-surgical eyes, and other complex fitting needs.

Dr. Nguyen's patient-centered approach combines technical expertise with genuine empathy. He understands that vision problems can significantly impact quality of life, and he's committed to finding solutions that restore clear, comfortable vision. Patients appreciate his patience, attention to detail, and willingness to explore all options to achieve optimal results.

In addition to his contact lens expertise, Dr. Nguyen provides comprehensive eye exams, manages ocular diseases, and has special interest in dry eye treatment and myopia control strategies for children. His commitment to staying current with the latest research and technologies ensures patients receive evidence-based, effective care.

Dr. Callie Sincennes, OD

Dr. Callie Sincennes brings a special passion for pediatric optometry and family eye care to Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center. Her warm, gentle approach puts patients of all ages at ease, particularly children who may be anxious about their eye appointments.

Dr. Sincennes understands the critical importance of early vision screening and the impact that uncorrected vision problems can have on children's development, learning, and self-esteem. She makes pediatric eye exams fun and educational, using child-friendly techniques and taking time to educate parents about their child's vision needs.

Beyond pediatric care, Dr. Sincennes provides comprehensive eye exams for adults, fits contact lenses, manages eye diseases, and has particular expertise in addressing the vision needs of families. Her goal is to serve as a lifelong vision care partner for patients from infancy through their senior years, building lasting relationships with the families she serves.

Optometrist vs. Ophthalmologist — What's the Difference?

Many people are confused about the difference between optometrists and ophthalmologists. Both are essential eye care professionals, but they have different training and focus areas:

Optometrists (OD): Optometrists complete four years of optometry school after undergraduate education, earning a Doctor of Optometry degree. They are primary eye care providers who examine eyes, diagnose vision problems and eye diseases, prescribe corrective lenses, provide treatments for many eye conditions, and prescribe medications for eye diseases. Optometrists provide the vast majority of eye care services that most people need throughout their lives.

Ophthalmologists (MD or DO): Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in eye care. After completing medical school and a medical internship, they complete a three-year residency in ophthalmology. They can perform eye surgery including cataract surgery, LASIK, glaucoma surgery, and other procedures. Ophthalmologists also provide medical treatment for complex eye diseases.

When to See Each: For routine eye exams, vision correction, contact lens fittings, and management of common eye conditions, an optometrist is your primary care provider. Optometrists refer patients to ophthalmologists when surgical intervention is needed or when complex medical treatment beyond their scope is required.

At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, our optometrists work collaboratively with trusted ophthalmologists in the Phoenix area, ensuring seamless care when referrals are necessary. This team approach gives patients access to the full spectrum of eye care services while maintaining continuity with their primary optometrist.

Conditions Managed by Our Optometrists

  • Amblyopia and Strabismus: Detection and treatment of lazy eye and eye misalignment, particularly in children.

Optometrist Services: Contact Lens Fittings

Contact lens fitting is both an art and a science, requiring expertise, precision, and attention to detail. Our Phoenix optometrists are highly experienced in fitting all types of contact lenses, ensuring optimal vision, comfort, and eye health for every patient.

Comprehensive Contact Lens Examination: Beyond a standard eye exam, contact lens fittings include measurements of corneal curvature, pupil and iris size, and evaluation of tear film quality. Our optometrists assess your lifestyle needs, wearing schedule preferences, and manual dexterity to recommend the most suitable lens type.

Types of Contact Lenses We Fit:

  • Daily disposable soft lenses (the healthiest option for most patients)
  • Bi-weekly and monthly replacement soft lenses
  • Toric lenses for astigmatism correction
  • Multifocal and bifocal contact lenses for presbyopia

  • Scleral lenses for keratoconus, post-surgical eyes, and severe dry eye
  • Orthokeratology lenses for overnight corneal reshaping
  • Specialty lenses for irregular corneas and unique vision needs

Trial Lenses and Education: We provide trial lenses for you to experience before finalizing your lens choice. Our optometrists teach proper insertion, removal, cleaning, and care techniques, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable with your lenses.

Follow-Up Care: After receiving your contact lenses, follow-up appointments allow our optometrists to verify proper fit, assess vision quality, and address any concerns. We also provide ongoing annual evaluations to monitor eye health and update prescriptions as needed.

Same-Day Availability: Many popular contact lens brands are available for same-day pickup, getting you into lenses quickly. For specialty lenses, we work with expedited ordering to minimize wait times.
