Advanced Vision Care ’ s Keys to Eye Health
For over four decades , Advanced Vision Care has cared for the visual and ocular health of patients who live and work in the South Hills . Founded by Dr . Lonny Harrison , ownership of the practice recently passed to longtime associate Dr . Anthony Pinter and his wife , Dr . Mindy McKee . Drs . Pinter and McKee purchased Advanced Vision Care with a goal of ensuring that the practice continued living up to its name , and its reputation within the South Hills . In keeping with that strategic vision , the practice recently upgraded its diagnostic equipment , including one of the newest models of Optomap .
The Optomap provides a high-resolution image of the retina ( interior of the eye ) with a 200 ° field of view , versus the 45 ° field offered by traditional cameras . This instrument allows for better diagnosis , monitoring and treatment of diseases such as diabetic retinopathy , glaucoma , macular degeneration and various retinal conditions .
In addition to maximizing technological capabilities , actually listening to and fostering discussion with patients enables the Advanced Vision Care team to provide more effective care and add value to the patient experience .
“ We take the time to listen to our patients ,” explained Dr . Pinter . “ Many eye
conditions — or medical problems for that matter — can be diagnosed through a good case history . Dr . Harrison always stressed that technology is important and useful , but people make the difference . We try to honor his legacy by providing the best possible eye care to every patient .”
Same-day care is always provided for ocular urgencies and emergencies , with most medical insurance plans accepted .
The six doctors at Advanced Vision Care treat patients in all stages of life , beginning in infancy . Most recent to join the optometric team is Dr . Robert Hartsock , bringing with him nearly 30 years of practice experience in the South Hills . Utilizing their vast experience , the doctors are able to offer a wide variety of contact lens fitting options , including hard-to-fit and specialty lenses . Additionally , there are four certified opticians on staff in the newly renovated Optical Department , which carries over 1,200 frames . The great selection of frames combined with a wide variety of lens options ensures something for everyone across all price points .
