Vision care is much more than just seeing well. We use thorough vision and eye health exams to help maintain good vision long into the later years of life.
There are two new areas of care that Dr. Burns especially enjoys and seeks to emphasize in Spartanburg. The first is children's vision 80% of children's learning is through their eyes. If visual function is not appropriate, learning can be a real challenge and often leads to the symptoms of ADD/ADHD, simply because the school work causes visual discomfort causing the child to struggle. We recommend that all children have a thorough vision and eye health evaluation before they begin kindergarten.

The second emphasis is on the management of eye diseases that affect our aging population. As baby boomers retire, medical care, and especially medical vision care, is becoming increasingly important. Dr. Burns has a wealth of experience at managing many of the diseases that affect our eyes as we age such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, and macular degeneration. We have invested in the most modern technology at Lifetime Eyecare Associates to facilitate an early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. This type of specialized care is offered by a very limited number of practices in the entire state of South Carolina.
