Services
Eye exams are very important to maintain the overall health of your eyes. They are designed to determine how well light rays are focused on the retina. Eye doctors are specifically trained to check for, recognize, and treat eye conditions and diseases. We recommend you have a yearly routine eye exam.
He opened Longmeadow Optical 43 years ago, in 1973, and continues to be missed by staff and patients, alike. Dr. Mark Lee Farbman was born in Baltimore, where he attended Baltimore City College. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Maryland.
There are number of tests that your doctor may perform during your normal routine eye exam to ensure that your vision is at its best. Some of these tests include:. A Visual Field Test will allow your doctor to see the full horizontal and vertical range of what are are able to see peripherally. This enables the doctor to determine the potential presences of blind spots (scotomas), which could indicate eye diseases. Visual Field Screenings are performed routinely at your exam with an automated computer screening instrument.
Beginning at four years of age, amblyopia, refractive, and alignment screenings should take place. If you notice any signs of decreased vision or misalignment of the eye, please contact our office for a complete eye exam. A child exam is very similar to the care received in a regular routine exam. An autorefractor is sometimes used by doctors to determine a patient's prescription. A chin and forehead rest will help stabilize your child's head while he or she looks at a pinpoint of light-the hot air balloon.

I receive excellent eye care here for my annual exams. There is always little or no waiting time. The technician (Ian) who works on eyeglasses for you is super helpful and will go out of his way to help you pick new, or repair existing, eyeglasses. The Front Desk staff are friendly and helpful. Dr. Gill is very professional and knowledgeable.

My husband and I both love Longmeadow Optical. Wonderful doctors and staff make you feel very welcome and cared for. They are especially great for anyone who is new to wearing glasses, lots of helpful advice for adjusting to them (and choosing the most attractive frames, which is hard for some of us!)

Dr Gill is very detailed and a true professional. I highly recommend her. She managed to get me a prescription for my dry eye (prior authorization needed) the same day she saw me. I have been asking for this through other doctors for TEN years now! Her office staff were organized and pleasant. They have a great selection of eyeglasses including Ray-Ban, Michael Kors and Kate Spade.

After trying another practice because it was covered by my insurance, I returned to Longmeadow Optical knowing that the service I would get there is superior despite the fact that it isn't covered under my insurance plan. All the staff are top-notch, and Dr. Gill in particular is very thorough and professional. If you want the best, most reliable eye exam, go to Longmeadow Optical.
