Ocular Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Preserving the eyesight of our patients so they can get the most out of life is our greatest goal. Our eye care clinic makes it a policy to ensure that all staff members are up-to-date on the latest technology and techniques to make your visit as comfortable and effective as possible. As optometric technology changes, it is even more important to visit an eye doctor who has the qualifications to address your problem.

Utilizing cutting edge technology, we diagnose and manage, with greater precision, diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Diagnostic testing with the newest technology means earlier diagnosis, earlier treatment, and better outcomes.

Cataract Surgery Co-Management

Cataracts is a disease of the eye that results in the clouding of the lens of the eyeball. Cataracts prevent clear images from appearing on the eye’s retina; causing mild, moderate, even severe blurred vision.

Typically an eye disorder associated with aging (over half of the people in America over age 80 have either had a cataract or cataract surgery), cataracts generally occur later in life as the lens structure within the human eye changes and gets older. In addition to age, other risk factors that lead to cataracts include smoking, UV overexposure and diabetes.

During the evaluation of your eye health we will carefully examine your lens for signs of cataract formation. If a cataract is noticed and the clouding is causing visual disruption, the optometrist will refer you to a trusted and respected surgeon for surgery, which is the only known cure for cataracts. Our Eye Care Practice will be there for you providing pre and post cataract surgery care.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that affects people with diabetes, caused by damage to the small blood vessels in the retina. It often develops without early symptoms, which makes annual eye exams essential for early detection.

As the condition progresses, symptoms may include blurred vision or dark spots, caused by bleeding in the back of the eye. The risk increases the longer you have diabetes, making blood sugar control critical for protecting your vision.

Treatment options may include laser therapy or surgery, depending on the severity.

Glaucoma Testing & Treatment

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Routine eye exams are essential for early detection and ongoing monitoring.

At Park Cities Eye Associates, we use advanced diagnostic technology to detect glaucoma and track any changes over time. Treatment is tailored to each patient and may include prescription eye drops or other therapies to help manage eye pressure and protect long-term vision.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is an age-related condition that affects central vision, making everyday tasks like reading and driving more difficult. It often develops gradually, making routine eye exams key to early detection.

At Park Cities Eye Associates, we monitor for signs of macular degeneration using advanced imaging technology and provide personalized care to help slow progression. Treatment may include lifestyle recommendations, nutritional support, or referral for specialized care when needed.
