Whether dealing with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, keratoconus, or any other eye disease, you can trust our experienced team to provide the highest standard of care and support, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your eye health.
Diabetic Retinopathy: Control and Prevention
Diabetic retinopathy arises from high blood sugar levels damaging the retinal blood vessels. This damage can manifest in various forms, from mild leaks to abnormal new blood vessel growth, potentially leading to vision loss if left unchecked.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to diabetic retinopathy treatment. At For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center, we personalize your care plan based on the severity and progression of your condition.
Our optometrists will communicate and seamlessly work with your health care team to best manage any diabetic complications. Advanced diabetic retinopathy may require medications, laser therapy, intraocular injections, vitrectomy, or a combination.
Unmatched Glaucoma Care
Glaucoma, often dubbed the "silent thief of sight," can creep up silently, gradually damaging the optic nerve and robbing you of peripheral vision. Early detection is crucial, and at For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center, our expert glaucoma experts utilize the latest diagnostic tools to identify even the subtlest signs, paving the way for timely and effective intervention.
For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center is equipped with the latest technology to diagnose and track changes that may occur from glaucoma. This includes our Zeiss ocular coherence tomography (OCT) and Zeiss Humphrey visual field analyser (HVF).
Treatment for glaucoma may involve eye drops, oral medication, laser therapy, glaucoma surgery, or a combination.
Dry Eyes? Don't Settle for Scratchy Discomfort
Is your vision clouded by a persistent film? Do your eyes feel gritty, burning, or simply uncomfortable? Dry eye, a common condition affecting millions, can significantly impact your daily life.
We offer a comprehensive approach to dry eye, from diagnosing the underlying cause to recommending personalized treatment solutions. We utilize advanced technology to assess the severity of your condition and explore options like artificial tears, prescription medications, innovative in-office treatments, and lifestyle modifications.
Our compassionate team will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you find the most effective solution for your unique needs.
Cataract Co-Management: How to Uncloud Your Vision
Cataracts, clouding the lens of your eye, can distort your vision, making everything appear hazy and muted. Our commitment goes beyond conventional cataract management – we specialize in collaborative cataract co-management.
Leveraging our extensive network of skilled partners, we ensure you receive the highest standard of care throughout your entire cataract journey. From the initial diagnosis to post-surgery follow-up, our expert team, in collaboration with our trusted partners, works seamlessly to provide you with a holistic and integrated approach to cataract management.
Macular Degeneration: Protecting Your Precious Vision
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) often develops gradually, with subtle changes in central vision being the first signs. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and timely intervention, which can significantly slow the progression of the disease and preserve your vision.
While AMD can manifest in various forms, the two main types we often encounter are dry and wet AMD. Dry AMD, affecting most patients, progresses slowly through the thinning of the macula, leading to blurry central vision. We combat this with lifestyle modifications like antioxidant-rich supplements and low-vision aids to support your daily activities.
Wet AMD, though less common, presents a more immediate threat with abnormal blood vessel growth in the macula. This may be treated with intraocular anti-VEGF injection, laser therapy, or a combination, to stabilize these vessels and protect your precious vision.
Keratoconus and Other Corneal Irregularities
Keratoconus is a chronic eye disease that causes the cornea to thin. This thinning often leads to protrusion of the cornea, resulting in blurry vision. This abnormal corneal shape causes irregular astigmatism, a form of astigmatism that is often uncorrectable with glasses or off-the-rack soft contact lenses. In more advanced cases, patients may benefit from specialty contact lenses capable of correcting irregular astigmatism.
At For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center, our doctors work with various specialty contact lenses capable of correcting irregular astigmatism caused by keratoconus, corneas that have undergone radial keratotomy (RK), or any other conditions inducing corneal irregularity.
