Here for Your Eye Disease Needs

Our team is with you every step of the way to manage any eye diseases or conditions you may be dealing with. We carefully evaluate your eyes and vision and discuss all available options, including co-managing and non-surgical solutions when appropriate.

You can trust us to manage your eye disease concerns and recommend treatment options that can benefit you.

Focusing on Early Detection

We use diagnostic technology to help our team detect and diagnose eye diseases and conditions during the early stages:

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) creates detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve, aiding us in the early detection of eye diseases.
Posterior pole fundus photography helps capture high-resolution images of the back of the eye to document changes over time.
Visual field testing evaluates peripheral vision to help detect potential vision loss associated with glaucoma and other conditions.
Pachymetry testing measures the thickness of the cornea, which is important for diagnosing and managing certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma.

Common Eye Diseases & Conditions

We recognize that every patient is unique and every vision situation is different. Eye diseases and other conditions can affect your eyes and vision in various ways, with different symptoms and causes.

Regular eye exams with our team can make a difference in preserving your long-term visual health by identifying and managing any potential issues before they impact your vision.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, which carries visual signals between your eyes and brain. It can often develop without noticeable symptoms and can lead to vision loss if not managed, so it’s important to schedule regular eye exams.

The management of glaucoma involves controlling internal eye pressure. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a common risk factor for glaucoma, although not everyone with high IOP will develop it.

We also use pachymetry testing to help assess corneal thickness, a critical measure in detecting conditions like glaucoma.

Cataracts

Cataracts cloud the normally clear lens of your eye. The cloudiness can vary in severity, resulting in varying degrees of vision loss. Cataracts can make everyday tasks like reading and driving at night more difficult.

We offer cataract co-management services and provide care from diagnosis through surgery and beyond.

During cataract surgery, the natural clouded lens in your eye is replaced with a synthetic lens. The procedure effectively restores clear vision, often improving focus without ongoing maintenance.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

AMD is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. It’s a progressive eye disease that can damage the macula and affect central vision. The vision loss caused by AMD can make reading and driving more difficult. This condition can vary in progression, sometimes advancing slowly or more rapidly in different people.

Early AMD may not initially present noticeable visual loss, highlighting the importance of regular eye exams for early detection. Our AMD screenings can help identify it early, allowing timely intervention to preserve your central vision.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetes can affect your vision along with your blood sugar. Diabetic eye disease is a serious concern for those with diabetes, encompassing conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma.

We encourage proactive management through regular screenings to help detect and treat these conditions early. Diabetes can lead to vision impairment or blindness over time, making it crucial to prioritize your eye health with eye exams.

Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye is a common condition that can cause discomfort and disrupt your day-to-day life. Symptoms include blurry vision, eye irritation, or watery eyes. We offer dry eye assessments and treatment options to help relieve your symptoms.

Co-Managing Your Care

We believe in a collaborative approach to eye care. If you’re diagnosed with a complex eye condition, we will work closely with your ophthalmologist to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Our goal is to help you receive the care and support that you need to enjoy healthy, clear vision. Regular eye exams are an important part of preventive healthcare—contact us to schedule your appointment today.
