Breakthroughs in Eye Disease Management
Dry Eye Disease: Lasting Relief for Uncomfortable Eyes
Dry eye disease is caused by various factors, including aging, environmental conditions, certain medications, underlying health issues, and dysfunction of the meibomian glands, which produce the oil layer of tears.
This eye condition can significantly impact your daily life, leading to discomfort and vision problems. With cutting-edge diagnostic tools and a range of targeted treatments, such as lifestyle adjustments, tear substitutes, and punctal plugs, we’re able to help you find the relief you deserve.
Cataract Surgery: Enhancing Vision with Precision and Care
Cataracts can cloud your vision and negatively impact your independence. This age-related eye disease can only be fixed with cataract surgery, which involves removing the eye’s cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens. Our optometrists will carefully evaluate your condition, refer you to reputable eye surgeons, and provide post-surgery care to guide you on your journey to recovery.
Macular Degeneration: Targeted Treatments to Protect Central Vision
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. Dry and wet AMD are the two main types, with dry AMD being the more common but less severe type. Wet AMD is characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth beneath the retina. We offer dietary recommendations, vitamin supplements, and innovative therapies to protect your central vision.
Glaucoma Testing & Treatment: A Strategy to Preserve Vision
Dubbed the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma is a condition often triggered by elevated eye pressure. It usually progresses unnoticed until significant vision loss occurs, which makes routine eye care essential for spotting early signs of glaucoma before it causes significant damage. Additionally, early intervention and management can prevent further vision loss or symptoms.
Diabetic Eye Disease: Proactive Management to Safeguard Vision
Diabetes can lead to serious eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, which can result in vision loss if not managed properly. We take a proactive approach to diabetic eye care, including regular eye exams to detect early signs of damage, coupled with advanced treatments to control the progression of the disease and ensure your diabetes remains under control.
