  • What is normal eye pressure for glaucoma?

    Normal eye pressure really varies from one person to another. If you have glaucoma we typically try to get a drop of about 20-30% from your highest recorded eye pressure reading. Typically, we like for patients pressure to be under 21, it means they are likely to have a decreased chance of developing glaucoma, but again that can be highly variable from person to person. The best thing to do is to regularly have a comprehensive eye exam to discus what pressure is best for your eyes and your situation. Sharhonda Harrill, OD READ MORE

Get to know Optometrist Dr. Sharhonda B. Harrill, who serves patients in Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Dr. Harrill is a talented and knowledgeable optometrist serving as the owner & operator of UC IC Family Practice in Winston Salem, North Carolina. It is where technology and traditional eye care converge to put vision in focus.

Having practiced in the triad area since 2014, she enjoys seeing patients starting at 6 months and throughout their life span. She specializes in providing comprehensive eye exams, pediatric eye exams, dry eye evaluations, cataract evaluation and post-cataract surgery evaluation, red eye and foreign body removal, as well as simple, complex, and custom contact lens fittings

Born in Waynesboro, Georgia, Dr. Harrill grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. She graduated magna cum laude from Western Carolina University where she was a four year scholar-athlete on the Track and Field team. After graduation, she attended the University of Alabama School of Optometry and graduated with her Doctor of Optometry degree in 2014. 

Her education provided training in primary eyecare, pediatrics and binocular vision, learning/development and visual perception assessment, cornea and contact lenses, ocular disease and geriatric care in nursing homes, and the Veterans’ Hospital settings. She completed her clinical externship at the William B. Hefner VA Hospital in Salisbury.

Prestigious organizations of which Dr. Harrill is a member include: the National Optometric Student Association, the American Optometric Student Association, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Optometry is a health care profession that involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities, as well as diagnosing and managing eye disease. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary eye care through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases. Being a regulated profession, an optometrist’s scope of practice may differ depending on the location. Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry (i.e. those requiring certain surgical interventions) are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care, more commonly to ophthalmologists who are physicians that specialize in the tertiary medical and surgical care of the eye. Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals, such as ophthalmologists and opticians, to deliver quality and efficient eye care to the general public.

When she is not working, Dr. Harrill enjoys reading, horseback riding, and helping with community-oriented service activities. Happily married, she and her husband have one son and enjoy spending time cooking together as a family.
