Your exam, step by step
A Bolt Eye Group exam covers far more than which line you can read. Here is what Duluth patients can count on:
-
Pressure check for everyone
Every patient has eye pressure measured, because glaucoma rarely causes symptoms early.
-
$39 imaging
Retinal photos and a corneal topography map give us a baseline to compare against each year.
-
Your doctor shows you the images
We put your retina on screen and explain what we see in plain words.
-
OCT with telehealth visits
Choose an in-office telehealth visit and the same $39 adds two OCT glaucoma scans.

Opticians help you pick a style that suits your face and your day. Lenses are edged on site, and every pair passes a three-step final inspection before you pick it up.
DreamSculpt Ortho-K for Duluth kids
If your child's glasses get stronger every year, ask about DreamSculpt Ortho-K. It is our orthokeratology program: custom Ortho-K lenses worn overnight gently reshape the cornea, so your child sees clearly all day without glasses or daytime contacts, and it is one of the most studied ways to slow myopia. Each lens is custom-designed from a detailed map of your child's cornea.

Scleral lenses for keratoconus
Keratoconus thins the cornea and pushes it into a cone, and glasses stop working well. Scleral lenses for keratoconus rest on the white of the eye and vault over the cornea on a layer of saline, giving you a smooth surface to see through. Dr. Kazem has fit hard-to-fit eyes for more than twenty years.
Insurance and hours
We take VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Spectera and other vision plans, plus Medicare, Medicaid and most major medical plans. HSA, FSA and CareCredit are welcome. The $39 imaging fee is separate.

See up close and far away, without reading glasses
Multifocal contact lenses let many people over 40 read a menu, check a phone and drive, all without reaching for readers.
If you've started holding your phone at arm's length, you don't have to switch to bifocals. We fit multifocal soft contacts that blend near and distance focus in one lens, and we can also try monovision, with one eye set for distance and one for near, using trial contacts first.
Every eye is different, so we test lenses on your eyes and fine-tune them at a follow-up visit.

Medical eye care for Duluth adults
Beyond glasses and contacts, our Lawrenceville doctors look after the conditions that quietly threaten sight.
-
Pressure checks at every visit, optic nerve photos, and side-vision or drainage-angle testing when your doctor needs them. If drops aren't enough, we coordinate laser or surgical care with a glaucoma surgeon, and we only send you to the best surgeons for top-quality care. Glaucoma care

Burning, gritty or watery eyes? We look for the cause, such as clogged eyelid oil glands, inflammation, screen habits or a medicine, and build a plan around it. Dry eye treatment

We spot cataracts early, track them with imaging and tell you when they start to affect daily life. We don't perform surgery. When it is time, we refer you only to the best cataract surgeons, chosen for optimum care, and see you for follow-up afterward. Cataract care

Questions from Duluth patients
How long is the drive from Duluth to Bolt Eye Group Lawrenceville?
From Duluth City Hall on Main Street it is about 8.7 miles and roughly 14 minutes without traffic. Nearly the whole trip is one road: Duluth Highway (GA-120) east into Lawrenceville. Plan on more time at rush hour.
Is DreamSculpt Ortho-K a good fit for my child in Duluth?
It can be. DreamSculpt Ortho-K is a form of orthokeratology: custom Ortho-K lenses are worn only while your child sleeps, so the day is spent without glasses, and the method is widely studied for slowing myopia. Dr. Kazem checks the cornea and prescription first and tells you honestly whether your child is a candidate.
I have keratoconus and glasses no longer help. Can you fit me?
Often, yes. We fit scleral lenses for keratoconus, which vault over the cornea on a layer of saline and give the eye a smooth new surface to see through. Dr. Kazem leads specialty fittings in Lawrenceville with Barbra Williams, COT, COA.
What does the $39 imaging fee include?
It covers digital retinal photos and a corneal map (topography) for every patient. Your doctor goes over the images with you. If you choose an in-office telehealth visit, the same $39 also includes two OCT glaucoma scans.
Can contacts help me read without reading glasses?
For many people over 40, yes. Multifocal contact lenses correct near and far vision in the same lens, so most daily tasks can be done without readers. Monovision is another option we can try with trial lenses. Results vary, so we fit and fine-tune the lenses on your eyes.
