The short answer
Medical eye care covers the health of your eyes beyond a glasses prescription: diabetic eye exams, glaucoma screening and monitoring, red or painful eyes and infections, sudden flashes or floaters, and ocular-surface disease. At Riverdell Vision, our doctors diagnose and manage these conditions, coordinate with your other physicians, and refer to trusted specialists when surgery or subspecialty care is needed.

Why this matters
Many eye conditions have no early symptoms. Glaucoma quietly narrows vision, diabetes can damage the retina before you notice, and a red or painful eye can be minor or serious. A practice that treats eye care as medicine catches these early, manages them over time, and knows when to escalate, rather than simply handing you a new prescription.
Who this is for
- People with diabetes who need a dilated retinal exam
- Patients with, or at risk for, glaucoma
- Anyone with a red, painful, or suddenly changed eye
- Patients on medications that require eye monitoring

Cost & insurance

What patients say about Medical Eye Care
Dr. Han was amazing! I've been having a ton of eye issues where other doctors dismissed to "just being my contacts". I learned I had an underlying issue with clogged pores and immediately worked with me on a new care plan. Will definitely be going to Dr. Han for all my eye appts!
I have an unusual and complicated vision situation caused by a retinal detachment and subsequent surgical repair. Dr Bruce Meyer was very knowledgeable, patient, caring and compassionate about finding a optical solution for me. After visiting several doctors, I feel the closest to a solution with his help.
Dr Han was very friendly and knowledgeable. I went in with a symptom that I wasn't sure what it was, and she was able to diagnose and provide the proper medication to resolve along with steps I can take to prevent this issue from recurring. Location was quite far from where I live (45 min drive) but was well worth the trip.
THE BEST! Dr. Amy Mundanchira is the best optometrist I have ever seen. Knowledgeable, takes time, kind, able to handle complex medical histories and really listens!
I saw Dr Meyer because my vision was poor with my current eyeglass prescription. He did an eye exam and spent a lot of time with me. After the visit he gave me a new prescription but told me that sooner than later I will need cataract surgery. I was very satisfied with the visit.
Great bedside manner from the doctor and the staffs were incredibly friendly! It was an emergency appointment made over the weekend and the doctor and the staffs immediately accommodated me even though they couldn't find my booking. Highly recommend this office!
