Routine eye exams are a vital aspect of preventative eye care. Without routine eye exams, eye and vision issues often go undetected, since most eye disorders have no clear symptoms. The early diagnosis and treatment of vision abnormalities can prevent vision loss and improve overall wellbeing.
Contact Lenses
Patients who wear or would like to wear contacts need to undergo a contact lens exam in addition to their comprehensive eye exam. The first contact lens test will measure the eye's surface to determine what size and type of contacts are best for the patient.
Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States with an estimated 100 million adults living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Patients who are diabetic can develop a complication that is known as diabetic retinopathy. Without prompt treatment, diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss.
Emergency Medical Eye Care
Eye emergencies cover a range of incidents and conditions such as trauma, cuts, scratches, foreign objects in the eye, burns, chemical exposure, and blunt injuries to the eye or eyelid.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition where the eye's optic nerve, which provides information to the brain, is damaged typically with raised intraocular pressure. If untreated, this will cause gradual vision loss.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eyes can have a major impact of your quality of life. You may find your eyes getting tired faster or you have difficulty reading. Not to mention the discomfort of a burning sensation or blurry vision. Understanding dry eye will help determine the best treatment options.
LASIK Evaluation and Consultation
LASIK is a modern, minimally-invasive procedure that can substantially reduce or eliminate your need to use eyeglasses or contact lenses, allowing you to enjoy life without limitations or inconvenience.Candidacy for LASIK is assessed by our doctors on a case by case basis.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are important for children since their eyes can change significantly in as little as a year as the muscles and tissue develop. Good eyesight is critical for a child's life and achievements since success in school is closely tied to eye health.
Myopia Care for Kids
Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, is a condition where individuals are able to see objects that are close to them but may have difficulty distinguishing things at a distance, such as road signs or leaves on a tree. As myopia increases the risk for eye diseases increases, such as retinal detachment and myopic macular degeneration. The goal of myopia management is to slow eye growth and reduce the associated risks.
Cataract Care
Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss among people ages 55 and older. We work with several local cataract specialists.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the single largest cause of sight loss in the developed world and affects more than 10 million Americans.
