Because we’re passionate about providing quality eye care to every patient, we include comprehensive eye disease screenings in every eye exam.
Early eye disease diagnosis is essential to preventing vision loss caused by disease. Early detection allows us to develop a treatment or management plan that protects your eyesight. If you are looking to preserve your eye health, the first step is to book an eye exam. Book your next one with our team today.
Various eye diseases can affect your eyes in different ways. However, one fact that remains almost universal is that many ocular diseases show little to no symptoms early in their development. In many cases, the only way to determine if you have an eye disease is through an eye exam.
We inspect your eyes using ocular coherence tomography (OCT) during an eye exam, which takes detailed cross-sectional images of your retina. OCT allows us to diagnose a range of eye diseases, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and more.
After diagnosing the issue, we will create a strategy to manage or treat your specific condition, protecting your eye health and vision quality.
Glaucoma is a disease that affects the eye health of nearly three million Americans.
There are many different types of glaucoma, and each can occur in different ways. However, glaucoma is most commonly related to a critical increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), leading to damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. We can diagnose glaucoma by observing your optic nerve for damage or using a tonometer to measure your IOP levels.
There are three common types of glaucoma:
Cataracts are an eye condition that causes your eyes’ natural lenses to become rigid and opaque, turning them milky and cloudy. Glasses and contacts can correct minor vision issues caused by cataracts, but more severe cases can leave you legally blind.
The only way to treat cataracts is by removing them with cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is similar to a refractive lens exchange, which replaces your natural cataract lens with an artificial intraocular lens.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults over 55. AMD targets and deteriorates the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision, which helps you drive, read, and recognize faces.
There are two common types of AMD:
Many people may experience conjunctivitis (pink eye) at least once in their life. There are many types of conjunctivitis with different causes, but symptoms are similar.
The three most common type of conjunctivitis are:
Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious. Please try to manage your contact with others and refrain from using communal items to avoid spreading infection.
