If you are diagnosed with an eye disease, then we are able to provide you treatment to restore health and functionality to your eyes and vision. This includes improved nutrition, medical procedures, prescription medicines, and vision exercises. We also manage and treat dry eye, foreign bodies in the eye, eye infections (pink eye), keratoconus, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Cataracts
The natural lens in our eyes can gradually become less clear as we age. When opacities develop in the lens and it becomes hazy, your vision will be impaired. We are able to diagnose and manage cataract care. If the cataract affects your vision to not be able to read or see distant objects with comfortability, then we may recommend cataract surgery.
Diabetes
Diabetic patients may have a dilated retinal examination each year. Laser treatments are proven to slow the progress of retinal eye disease for many patients. Diabetes often stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the back of the eye that may leak and damage the retina. Laser treatment may destroy these vessels if this condition is discovered early. This is possible with our advanced optical instruments.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma gradually destroys the optic nerve tissue in the back of the eye. It is painless and has no obvious symptoms until significant damage has occured. The most common cause is from pressure being too high within the eye, however, vascular disease and other diseases may also cause glaucoma. We will always monitor for the possibility of glaucoma. This includes checking the pressure of the eye, screening for peripheral vision defects, and observing the appearance of the optic nerve. Most forms of glaucoma can be successfully treated with eye drops. Laser treatments and eye surgery may be suggested to treat more advanced glaucoma.
Macular Degeneration
Associated usually with aging, macular degeneration is also known as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). This includes a gradual loss of central vision needed to perform everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and a limited ability to see small visual details like fine prints or patterns.
