Cataracts
A cataract is when your eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy because proteins in your lens are breaking down, this causes your vision to become blurry or hazy. In the preliminary stages, your doctor can help manage symptoms through the use of updated prescription eyeglasses with anti-glare coating and the strict use of sunglasses when outdoors. However, surgery should be considered a serious option once an individual’s vision starts to become increasingly impaired even when wearing prescription eyewear.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of diabetic eye disease. Diabetic retinopathy usually only affects those who have had diabetes for a long period of time. It occurs when high blood sugar levels cause changes that damage blood vessels in the retina.
These changes can cause the vessels to leak in the back of the eye, this may cause swelling/edema to the macula.
Untreated diabetic retinopathy can gradually become more serious as it progresses. It can lead to vision loss or blindness, making it very important for early detection.
Dry Eye
Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults. Although the primary approaches used to manage and treat dry eyes include adding tears by using over-the-counter artificial tear solutions, conserving tears, increasing tear production, and treating the inflammation of the eyelids or eye surface that contributes to the dry eyes, below are additional self-care options that can help relieve symptoms.
Ocular Emergencies
The doctors at eyecarecenter are equipped to diagnose and treat you during emergency situations like detached and torn retina, eye allergies and infections, black eye, miscellaneous objects lodged in the eye, etc.
Floaters & Flashes
Floaters and flashes, or spots, are the small shadowy images that appear in the field of vision caused by particles floating in the fluid that fills the inside of the eye.
Our doctors can determine if what you are seeing is harmless or if the floaters and flashes are the symptoms of a more serious problem that requires treatment.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of disorders leading to progressive damage to the optic nerve. It is characterized by loss of nerve tissue that, if untreated, results in vision loss. Thanks to recent advances and medical studies, optometrists have the ability to diagnose glaucoma earlier and more accurately. When glaucoma is diagnosed and treatment has begun, it is a lifelong disease that will require continuous care. We can control or slow the progression but unfortunately, cannot cure glaucoma.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is an eye disease affecting the macula (the center of the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye), causing loss of central vision. Since this disease does not affect the part of the eye responsible for side vision, patients never go completely blind. In fact, most people with macular degeneration will see normally throughout their lifetime. However, some may develop blurriness or distortion. In extreme cases, central vision may even be lost.
At this time there is no cure for macular degeneration, although early detection and treatment have been shown to slow or halt the disease. The doctors at eyecarecenter are committed to keeping up with the latest technology and treatment options to provide you the best possible outcome. When diagnosed in time, we are often able to treat the condition and help prevent vision loss.
