Services
Cataract
Report
Reducing the amount of ultraviolet light exposure by wearing a wide-brim hat and sunglasses may reduce your risk for developing a cataract but once developed there is no cure except to have the cataract surgically removed. Early detection through regular eye exams can help maintain the clearest vision possible.
Retina
Report
The Retina is a transparent, photoreceptives heath of cells lining the interior of your eyes. The retina consists of many nerve cells and is considered an extension of your brain. The two main cells of the Retina are Rods and Cones. The Rods are mostly responsible for vision in low light ("night vision"), black and white vision, and peripheral (side) vision.
Glaucoma
Report
Glaucoma includes a group of conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve. These can often develop over many years without causing pain - so you may not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed. Glaucoma cannot be prevented, and vision lost to it cannot be restored. Left untreated, glaucoma can cause blindness.
Diabetic Wellness Program
Report
Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma. These and other serious conditions often develop without vision loss or pain, so significant damage may be done to the eyes by the time the patient notices any symptoms.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Report
Dry eye is the term for when your eyes are insufficiently moisturized, either because they do not produce enough tears or because the tears have an improper chemical composition.
It often occurs during the natural aging process, but it can also form as a result of eyelid or blinking problems, certain medications (antihistamines, oral contraceptives, antidepressants), climate (low humidity, wind, dust), injury, and various health problems (arthritis, Sjgren's syndrome).In addition to being uncomfortable, dry eye can damage eye tissue, scar the cornea and impair vision.
