One member of the group, a clinical instructor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, has received two teaching recognition awards. Two of our ophthalmologists are clinical faculty members of the University of Utah Department of Ophthalmology.
Research
Country Hills Eye Center has an ongoing interest in basic and clinical ophthalmic research. Members of the group participate as clinical investigators for different research projects. This experience keeps our providers at the forefront for eye care advances.
In an effort to provide you with the finest quality medical service, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam by an ophthalmologist for the following:
- School age children are re-evaluated with vision checks approximately every year.
- At puberty.
- Healthy adults every two to three years. All contact lens wearers every one to two years.
- Those over 60 years of age every one to two years.
The frequency of a comprehensive eye exam may vary due to the individual’s age, race, past visual history, family history of disease, and the types of symptoms or visual findings encountered, or in some cases if no symptoms are present.
