Ocular Diseases We Manage at Advantage Eye Centers
Comprehensive Glaucoma Screenings
Glaucoma, often called the “silent thief of sight,” is a progressive disease that can cause irreversible vision loss by damaging the optic nerve, usually due to increased eye pressure. Because it develops gradually, you may not notice any symptoms until vision loss has already begun. This is why regular glaucoma screenings are so important.
We prioritize early detection with a range of screening tools:
- Intraocular Pressure Testing: This is used to measure eye pressure, a primary indicator of glaucoma.
- Optic Nerve Imaging: Captures detailed images to monitor any changes over time.
- Visual Field Testing: To help assess peripheral vision and detect early vision loss.
If we detect glaucoma, we will develop a customized management plan, which may include medications, eye drops, or referrals to trusted specialists for advanced care.
Is Cataracts Clouding Your Vision?
Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the eye's natural lens becomes clouded, causing blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Although cataracts often develop with age, they can affect people of all ages.
Our cataract screenings include:
- Comprehensive Eye Exams: To screen for any signs of clouding in the lens.
- Slit-Lamp Examination: A detailed look at the lens and other eye structures.
- Visual Acuity Testing: To gauge how well you see at different distances.
If cataracts begin interfering with your life, we’ll discuss your options for cataract surgery. We work closely with experienced specialists to provide seamless referrals and follow-up care.
Diabetes-Related Eye Diseases
If you’re managing diabetes, it’s important to also prioritize your eye health. Diabetes increases the risk of several severe eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy, in particular, occurs when high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina.
offers diabetic eye care that includes:
- Retinal imaging to detect early signs of damage to the blood vessels.
- Dilated eye exams to carefully examine the retina for any abnormalities.
- Regular monitoring to ensure any changes are caught early.
Our team is here to help you stay proactive, providing the screenings and support needed to protect your vision.
