We Provide Effective Eye Disease Management
Eye disease is always a risk for your vision and eye health, with some diseases leading to severe vision loss. Many diseases, like glaucoma, can develop with little to no symptoms, making it difficult to notice changes in your sight. However, we have the technology to identify these diseases before they further damage your eye health.
You can protect your vision by scheduling regular eye exams. The tests we complete during these exams can help identify problems as early as possible. Detecting eye disease early in its development can lower your risk of vision loss.
Pre- & Post-Operative Care
We’re proud to offer evaluations and support for several eye and facial procedures like LASIK, SMILE, phakic intraocular lenses, cataract surgery, and different plastic surgeries.
Our team offers free evaluations to determine your eligibility for surgery, discuss the benefits and risks, and examine your eyes before referring you to a trusted surgeon. Before your surgery, we’ll complete a pre-operative exam to ensure you’re fit for surgery.
Your support doesn’t end after your surgery is complete—our team will set up several follow-up appointments to help ensure you’re recovering well. These follow-up appointments typically occur after one week, one month, 3 months, and 6 months following your operation.
Common Eye Diseases
Anyone can develop an eye disease at any age, but your risk increases with time. With the risk age plays in eye conditions, regular eye exams are crucial as you get older. We can help identify subtle changes in your vision, diagnosing problems as early as possible.
Some common eye diseases include age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease affecting your central vision, which involves the things you see right in front of you. Your macula becomes thinner with age as it loses the cells needed for vision, making everyday tasks more difficult. There are 2 forms of AMD: wet and dry, and our team can help manage this disease and track changes in your vision.
Cataracts
Cataracts are the clouding of the eye’s lens, causing it to become opaque with time. A cataract typically occurs due to age as proteins in the lens break down and clump together. Later stages of cataracts can make it feel like you’re looking through a foggy window.
We may refer you for cataract surgery when cataracts make it too difficult to see. Our team can help evaluate you for this procedure and provide care before and after surgery.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that patients with diabetes can develop. This disease occurs when the blood vessels in the retina swell, leaking fluid and blood. As this disease progresses, it can cause further bleeding, scarring, or other complications.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage your optic nerve, an essential part of the eye needed for vision. This disease can develop symptom-free until your vision is affected, leading to potential vision loss. Many types of glaucoma exist, each requiring different management strategies.
Here for Your Eye Health & Vision
Our team is here for your ocular health and vision, no matter your needs. We can diagnose and manage eye disease, provide support after ocular or plastic surgery, or recommend ways to support your eye health. You can count on us when it comes to your sight.
