Your eyes are the window to your total body health, take care of them and schedule your comprehensive eye exam

Cataracts

​​​​​​​

Cataract co-management involves a collaboration between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist to provide comprehensive care for patients with cataracts. The optometrist performs preoperative evaluations, educates patients about cataract surgery, and provides postoperative care. The ophthalmologist performs the surgery and manages any complications. This approach allows for efficient and effective management of cataracts, resulting in improved patient outcomes.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. It is often associated with high pressure in the eye, but can also occur with normal or low pressure. There are several types of glaucoma, including open-angle, angle-closure, and congenital. Risk factors for glaucoma include age, family history, high eye pressure, thin corneas, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options include eye drops, laser surgery, and traditional surgery. It is important to have regular eye exams to detect and manage glaucoma.

Macular Degeneration

​​​​​​​

Macular degeneration, commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the single largest cause of sight loss in the developed world and affects more than 10 million Americans. It usually affects people over the age of 60 but has been known to affect those who are younger. It is a painless condition that usually affects both eyes with the loss being experienced in the central vision. It does not affect the peripheral vision, meaning that it does not cause total blindness.

Diabetic Retinopathy

​​​​​​​

Diabetic-related eye exams are essential for individuals with diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the eyes, leading to vision loss or blindness. It is recommended that individuals with diabetes get a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. During the exam, the eye doctor will check for signs of diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. Early detection and treatment of these conditions can prevent further damage to the eyes and preserve vision.
