Common Eye Diseases We Treat

Glaucoma

Early detection of glaucoma is crucial, as it is often asymptomatic in its early stages. We use advanced diagnostic tools like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to measure intraocular pressure and inspect the optic nerve for signs of damage. Treatment may include pressure-lowering eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery.

Macular Degeneration

Exams for macular degeneration involve OCT and fundus imaging to observe macula changes. Early diagnosis is key to managing this condition, which can lead to vision loss. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to slow progression, and in advanced cases, injections or laser therapy.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Examining the retina with OCT and fundus photography is used to diagnose diabetic retinopathy and spot blood vessel damage. Managing blood sugar levels and regularly having eye exams to monitor changes are crucial. Treatment includes laser surgery, injectable medications to reduce swelling and inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth, and vitrectomy in advanced stages.

Cataracts

During a detailed eye exam, doctors identify cataracts by inspecting the lens for clouding. Treatment for minor cataracts involves stronger lighting and eyeglasses; however, surgery is recommended to replace the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one when cataracts interfere with daily activities.

Co-Management For Ocular Diseases

If we determine that eye surgery is the best treatment option for you, we provide thorough co-management services, assisting with pre-surgical assessment and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal vision restoration.
