Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long or the cornea (the frontmost surface of the eye) is curved too much. Myopia is commonly viewed as a refractive error that needs glasses or contact […]
Glare. In our many years of practice, this is undoubtedly one of the most common symptoms we hear from our patients especially when it comes to driving at night. Frustratingly, there has been limited treatment options. Up until recently we had two main methods treating glare, namely glasses and cataract surgery. If glare persisted outside […]
In the battle against dry eye, Carolina Eye Doctors just secured the ultimate weapon- IPL. IPL stands for Intense-Pulsed Light. IPL has traditionally been used by dermatologists for vascular skin lesions that occur in conditions such as rosacea. Interestingly dermatologists, while treating rosacea patients, discovered an improvement in their patient’s dry eye symptoms. And we eye doctors […]
The first FDA-approved eye drop to treat presbyopia is here! Presbyopia is a condition that results in reduced near vision as we age. It occurs because the clear lens behind the iris that once easily changed shape to focus light onto the retina, gets larger and harder over time. This results in a gradual reduction in […]
People often ask me what my favorite memory is from my time working in the White House Medical Unit. Interestingly, my favorite memory was in a corner coffee shop nearby. I have a picture I took from that spot. It’s at the corner of 17th and Pennsylvania. In the background is the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where the […]
More Than Just A Pair Of Glasses Sometimes glasses are straight forward—you just need them to see. Whether it be distance or near, you just need the spectacles to provide clarity of vision. That is easy enough to do. Other times and more often than naught, they need to do more. These are our goals […]
Have you noticed your vision blur while reading and need to constantly blink to clear things up? How about burning throughout the day? The culprit is commonly enemy number one in the battle of dry eye—the clogged meibomian gland. Meibomian glands are oil glands located in both the upper and lower eyelids- about 30 in […]
An upheaval like we are in the midst of hasn’t been seen since World War II. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus that causes COVID-19 – The coronavirus or Coronavirus Disease. It will have lasting effects long after herd immunity and a vaccine are developed. Interestingly, the first person to truly sound the alarm […]
Little did I know that when I was put in charge of eye care for the White House, I was also in charge of the First Dogs’ eye care as well. The White House Medical Unit had full training on how to muzzle and examine First Pets if the need arose. The first taste I […]

I left this office in complete disbelief at the kindness that was shown to me and my son. My two year old was definitely difficult to examine. But Olivia, and Dr. Overberg were two of the kindest people I have ever met! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my son! Dr. Overberg was relentless to get my son’s examination, and the correct prescription for his glasses perfectly. I cannot even imagine how difficult that is with a squirming two year old! We will be forever grateful!

I am so appreciative of the care I receive from Carolina Eye Doctors. The staff is efficient and kind and Dr. Garcia is 100% the best! In all my years, this is hands down the best care I’ve ever had!

On my latest visit, I saw Dr. Overberg for an eye exam. I had previously seen Dr. Garcia, but our schedules didn’t align with this go-around, so I decided to see Dr. Overberg. She was fantastic! She was so thorough and professional. You really can’t miss this office…everyone from the doctors to the front desk is phenomenal! Great service, professional exam, detailed follow through, and a wonderful choice of glasses! I’m a big fan!
