Comprehensive Ophthalmology
Kavita K. Rao, M.D.
The
Comprehensive Ophthalmology Service at the Gavin Herbert
Eye Institute provides state-of-the art primary medical
eye care. Our academic physicians are medical school faculty members
who expertly screen for eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts,
and macular degeneration, for medical diseases involving the eye,
like diabetes and high blood pressure, and for side effects of
medication on vision and the eye. They specialize in solving complex
diagnostic dilemmas, and managing difficult cases, where standard
therapy has failed.
In cases where specialized surgical care is required from one
or more of our subspecialists, our Comprehensive Ophthalmologists
are best qualified to determine the best referrals for the specific
needs of the patient, and are able to expedite appointments. They
are also able to more effectively coordinate necessary medical
care, with their close collaborations with UC Irvine Healthcare’s
primary care and emergency services.
In addition, all three of our comprehensive ophthalmologists are
providers in the Vision Service Plan for employees and retirees
of UC Irvine Medical Center and the UC Irvine campus. This plan,
separate from the patient’s health plan, allows an annual
examination for glasses with a screening examination for medical
diseases of the eye. Although many optometrists are also VSP providers,
our ophthalmologists, in addition to be able to expertly prescribe
glasses, draw from their uniquely broad perspectives and medical
training to diagnose medical problems of the eye or physical problems
evident by changes in the eyes, that are often missed and need
to be addressed. In situations where patients have medical care
based elsewhere, our physicians can alert the patient’s insurance
provider of the problem. Patients interested in VSP care from our
providers must bring their glasses (even if the frame is broken)
to the visit. Patients desiring contact lenses for the first time,
hard contact lenses, or requiring a re-fitting of a new type of
contact lens would need to see an optometrist. However, soft contact
lens wearers desiring an update of the strength in their prescription
must have the lenses with them, along with the boxes or the prescription
for the strength and lens specifications. Our physicians look forward
to providing the highest level of medical care for your eyes.
