What’s New at TSO Longview

In keeping with providing the latest technology in eye care and treatment, Texas State Optical - Longview has added the following equipment and services:

• OCT-Ocular Coherence Tomography - This is a method eye care specialists are using to obtain detailed images of the retina.
• Paperless Records -The latest trend in healthcare and eyecare is to go paperless with charts and records. This is more efficient and eliminates the chance of misfiled or lost records.
• Retinal Photos - TSO Longview is offering patients an opportunity to have their retina photographed for a minimal charge of $15 as a part of their records, and the photographs can be shared with other health care providers.

Childhood Vision Care

Dr. Wallace participates in Sight for Students™ and is a registered InfantSee provider. Studies have determined that 88% of learning is visual. One in four children ages 5 to 12 has an undiagnosed vision problem. This often leads to poor educational and behavioral performance because children with vision problems often have no way of knowing that they see differently than other children.

All children should have their eyes examined at or before their fourth birthday.
