Our experienced ophthalmologists use advanced technology and a patient-centered approach to safeguard your vision and detect potential issues before they progress.
Our General Ophthalmology Services
1. Comprehensive Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are essential for maintaining optimal vision and detecting eye diseases early. During a comprehensive eye exam, our specialists assess your vision, check for refractive errors (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), and examine the overall health of your eyes.
Key Components of an Eye Exam:
- Visual acuity testing
- Prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses
- Evaluation of eye health, including the retina, optic nerve, and cornea
- Screening for eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration
2. Management of Refractive Errors
Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina. Our team offers solutions to correct these issues, including:
- Prescription glasses and contact lenses
- LASIK and other refractive surgeries (if applicable)
3. Treatment of Common Eye Conditions
We diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions, including:
- Dry Eye Syndrome: Offering personalized treatment plans to relieve discomfort caused by insufficient tear production.
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, or allergic conjunctivitis.
- Blepharitis: Management of inflammation of the eyelids to reduce redness, itching, and discomfort.
- Styes and Chalazions: Treatment to alleviate swelling and promote healing.
4. Glaucoma Screening and Management
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss if untreated. Our team provides regular glaucoma screenings and advanced treatment options to preserve your vision, including:
- Prescription eye drops
- Laser therapy
- Surgical intervention (if needed)
5. Cataract Diagnosis and Care
Cataracts occur when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision. Our ophthalmologists diagnose cataracts early and offer advanced solutions such as:
- Monitoring cataract progression
- Providing corrective lenses
- Cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for improved clarity
6. Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetes can lead to vision-threatening conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. We provide specialized care to prevent and manage diabetes-related eye problems through regular screenings and timely intervention.
7. Age - Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Monitoring
AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. We offer regular screenings and treatment options to slow disease progression and maintain visual function.
