Eye Disease

Cataracts – The eye’s natural lens tends to lose its clarity as we age. Cataracts occur when the lens becomes cloudy, leading to impaired vision. Our practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts. If a cataract significantly impacts your vision, making it difficult to read or see at a distance, we may suggest cataract surgery. We partner with highly skilled cataract surgeons to co-manage your care. Cataract surgery is a safe and painless procedure that can restore clear and vibrant vision.

Glaucoma – Identifying and addressing glaucoma early is essential for preserving eyesight. Glaucoma harms the optic nerve, frequently progressing without obvious signs until it’s severe. Elevated intraocular pressure is a frequent factor, though glaucoma can arise from other sources. Our eye examinations include glaucoma screening through intraocular pressure measurement, peripheral vision assessment, and optic nerve evaluation. If glaucoma is found, initial treatment typically involves eye drops to reduce eye pressure. Laser treatments and surgical intervention are available for more advanced stages.

Macular Degeneration – Macular degeneration poses a significant risk for numerous patients, and we aim to provide you with the necessary knowledge to comprehend and manage this condition. AMD impacts the macula, the retinal area responsible for sharp, detailed vision. As AMD advances, it can cause blurring or distortion in central vision, affecting abilities like reading, driving, and facial recognition. Routine eye examinations are essential for detecting AMD early on. We provide thorough AMD assessments, which include:

• Dilated eye exams for examining the macula
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for evaluating retinal structure
• Amsler grid testing for tracking changes in central vision

If you have any worries regarding macular degeneration or observe any changes in your eyesight, please reach out to us. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional eye care and assisting you in preserving healthy vision in the years ahead.
