Annual, comprehensive eye examinations are one of the most crucial parts of preventive health care. Luckily, it is one of the easiest organs to have examined and only needs to be done so once a year!
Numerous eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms, so you might not be aware a problem exists. In fact, an abundance of eye-related issues and diseases do not cause visual symptoms or disturbances until later, progressed stages.
Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems can help prevent vision loss.
A vision screening (reading a letter chart at an annual physical exam) is not equivalent to an annual eye exam.
At Oak City Vision Center, your vision and eye health will be checked extensively.

To ensure that proper management of your diabetes is communicated with all providers involved in your care, Dr. Augustino will send a report your primary care doctor or endocrinologist after your diabetic eye exam. You are our top priority!


Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision.
People with dry eyes may experience irritated, gritty, scratchy or burning eyes; a feeling of something in their eyes; excess watering; and blurred vision, amongst other things.
Treatments aim to restore or maintain the normal amount of tears in the eye to minimize dryness and related discomfort and to maintain eye health.
