Haywood Family Eye Care

01 Medical eye care

Eye doctors,
first and always.

Our optometrists diagnose, treat and manage eye disease — from diabetic eye exams and glaucoma to dry eye and urgent problems — with advanced imaging that catches trouble early. Right here in Waynesville.

02 What we treat

The conditions.

  • Diabetic eye exams

    Diabetes shows up in the retina before you feel it. Annual retinal exams and treatment for diabetic retinopathy, coordinated with your physician — including the report your doctor needs.

  • Glaucoma

    Glaucoma steals sight silently, from the edges in. Detection, pressure management and long-term monitoring to protect your optic nerve.

  • Macular degeneration

    Early AMD detection and ongoing management to guard your central vision — the vision you read and recognize faces with.

  • Red & pink eye, infections

    Same-day care for infections, inflammation and injuries. We can examine, diagnose and prescribe — call us before urgent care.

  • Dry eye

    Real dry-eye evaluations — including meibomian gland imaging — and treatment plans that go beyond a bottle of drops.

  • Flashes & floaters

    Sudden flashes, a shower of new floaters, or a curtain-like shadow can signal a retinal problem. Call us the day you notice them.

03 Where the work happens

Inside our exam lanes.

Every exam happens in one of our lanes right here in Waynesville — the microscope, the imaging and the doctor all in one room, built to catch problems early.

Managing something long-term?

Not sure which exam you need?
