Eye Disease Management

Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma is a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. It develops slowly and often without symptoms in most cases, which is why many people are unaware they have it until vision loss has occurred. The good news? With early detection and ongoing monitoring, we can manage glaucoma and protect your vision.

Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar; it can also impact the small blood vessels in your retina, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy. This condition can cause blurred vision, floaters, or even permanent vision loss if left untreated. Regular eye exams are crucial for patients with diabetes to closely monitor their eye health and catch any changes before they become a problem.

AMD is one of the most common causes of vision loss in adults over 50. It affects the macula, the part of your retina responsible for sharp, central vision used for activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. There are two types (dry and wet), and while AMD doesn’t usually cause complete blindness, it can make everyday tasks difficult. With consistent monitoring and supportive treatment, we help patients manage AMD and preserve as much vision as possible.

Cataracts are a natural part of aging for most people. They occur when the eye’s clear lens becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. While early symptoms may be mild, cataracts can eventually interfere with your daily activities. Fortunately, cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way, from diagnosis through referral and recovery.
