Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery at Digby Eye Associates involves replacing the clouded natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. Our surgeons use precision techniques, including LenSx Laser technology, to ensure minimal recovery time and optimal outcomes. Patients benefit from reduced dependence on glasses and improved color and night vision, with over 99% achieving good vision post-surgery.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma specialists provide comprehensive treatment plans to lower intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage. Options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions tailored to each patient's condition stage. Early detection through regular exams is emphasized to halt progression and preserve vision, supported by advanced diagnostic tools.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
These exams evaluate both vision and eye health through tests for acuity, muscle function, peripheral vision, and intraocular pressure. Our doctors use slit-lamp microscopy to assess ocular structures, ensuring early detection of conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatments follow each assessment.
Contact Lenses
We offer a full range of contact lenses, including daily disposables, scleral, and hybrid options for astigmatism and keratoconus. Our specialists fit lenses for comfort and clarity, with brands like SynergEyes and Alcon. Patients receive guidance on proper care and maintenance to ensure eye health and extended lens wear safety.
Dry Eye Treatment
Treatment for dry eye syndrome includes prescription drops, lifestyle adjustments, and specialized products like Nordic Naturals and OCuSOFT. Our team identifies underlying causes such as environmental factors or medical conditions, providing targeted therapies to improve tear production and reduce discomfort during screen use or in dry climates.

Report
I called to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a medical eye issue and they scheduled an appointment with an OD rather than an MD (which I found out when I arrived). They charged an additional $40 on top of my $40 co-pay for an additional exam that was supposedly very important but I still don't know what that exam was (nobody told me). The OD examined me quickly, didn't give me an exact diagnosis, and prescribed a cortisone ointment that I found out later could give me glaucoma or cataract with long-term use.
They didn't schedule a re-check, and really the place seems to be more of a place for eyeglasses and that's it. I went to Greensboro Ophthalmology and they were excellent. For medical eye issues, go there instead.

Dr. Parker and Margaret Horne and the various techs are thorough, courteous and professional. I have been a patient at Digby for over 20 years and always come away feeling that I have been well taken care of. I would give them 5 stars.

Report
Was recommended to come by here this evening after an ER visit for some eye troubles that could have been a result from a fall. ER told me Dr. Glenn would be in at the office until 8:30 and to go there immediately after the ER visit. I went by Digby and got there around 8:20. Doors were locked, nobody answered, tried calling and got an automated message. So I went home. I get a call from Dr. Glenn asking if I was coming by.
I explained the situation and said I had already left and was home now. Dr. Glenn was very rude and condescending arguing with me over the phone. Said, condescendingly my appointment was 8:30 and normally you don't leave before your appointment and he had walked out into the parking lot at 8:30 and I wasn't there, to which I explained again that I wasn't told I had to be there at a specific time I was told he would be there UNTIL 8:30 and to go right after my ER visit.
No one had said I needed to sit in my car in a dark parking lot and wait for the Dr to come outside at exactly 8:30. Again not faulting Dr. Glenn for the miscommunication, only for the unprofessional response. I definitely will not be making a follow up appointment with this office.

I visited Digby Eye Associates for the first time recently. I am extremely happy with my experience! Jordan and Amber gave an excellent first impression helping me with directions while I was driving. Dr. Patel and her assistants gave me the best eye exam that I have ever had. She also had me to come back in to double check how I was doing with my contacts before ordering. Cheryl that works with patients and their contacts was so patient with me and made me feel like a pro after spending time with me. Linda that works with the eyeglass frames was also patient and so very helpful with my frame choice.
I am extremely particular about my frames and Digby Eye has a great selection of designer frames. It was refreshing to be able to do everything in one place. They all work as a team to give their patient the best possible experience with eye care.
