Two words: myopia and amblyopia. Amblyopia My daughter recently had her 18-month check-up at the pediatrician’s office and at the end of the exam, the doctor mentioned her dental health and the importance of a dental exam but made no mention her ocular health or the need for an eye exam. Being an eye doctor […]
Eye Health – The Key to Squaring the Healthspan Curve With the birth of our first child, I started thinking about longevity and how to make my life last as long as possible. Not just long, but healthy. This is the concept of lifespan vs. healthspan. Your lifespan is the length or “span” of your life. […]
After spending 9 years as the eye doctor for the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), I’ve been asked a lot of questions. One of the most common is, “What do you think is going on there now?” I’m assuming they’re wondering this because the current administration is rather unconventional with a non-establishment president, unorthodox methods […]
If your eyes have been feeling a little more gritty, sandy or dry than usual, you’re not the only one. As we get cozy inside and turn on our heaters, the humidity and moisture our eyes love starts to drop. Irritation then starts to kick in making dry eyes a symptom we hear on a […]
Brain injury was known as a silent epidemic in the 1990’s but not so anymore. Whether it be a concussion-related to a sports injury or a motor vehicle accident; a fall or a blast injury in our military service members, we are aware of brain injury much more these days. Approximately 50% of the brain’s […]

The LED is what illuminates our phones and computer screens, and has now also made it into our homes with LED light bulbs.

Recently retinal specialists from Wake Forest and the University of North Carolina have confirmed the findings of Dr. Tarbett’s original research on thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and diabetic macular edema published in 2011.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is booming. Its prevalence in the US has doubled in the last 3 decades with 42% of the US population now nearsighted and fully half of the population expected to be nearsighted by 2050. What can we do?

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!
