Experience Expert Eye Disease Management at Omni Eye Specialists
Due to significant advancements, we now take a more proactive approach to diseases that once had limited management options. By detecting conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy earlier and with greater accuracy, we can implement management strategies that have the potential for improved outcomes.
Macular Degeneration Management
| The macula, which is responsible for providing sharp central vision and processing fine image details, can experience degeneration as a result of macular degeneration. While there is currently no cure for this ocular condition, early detection allows for the implementation of preventive measures and management strategies. Therefore, it is crucial to undergo regular eye examinations in order to identify macular degeneration in its initial phases. |
Keratoconus Care
Omni Eye Specialists offers care for patients diagnosed with keratoconus, a condition characterized by corneal thinning and bulging. Our team of highly skilled professionals provides guidance and tailored treatment options to effectively manage the challenges associated with keratoconus, guaranteeing the utmost quality of care for each patient.
Glaucoma Testing & Management
During our comprehensive eye exams, our skilled optometrists utilize a suite of diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma in its initial stages.
These include measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) using a tonometer, a key indicator of potential glaucoma risk; eye dilation is performed, allowing a clear assessment of the optic nerve for any glaucoma-related changes. Visual field tests evaluate any loss of peripheral vision, followed by retina evaluations to provide a comprehensive overview.
Through these meticulous testing methods, we ensure effective glaucoma management and monitoring, aiming to preserve your vision.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts commonly cause vision decline, particularly in patients aged 55 and older. These cloudy formations in the eye's lens can result from aging, smoking, UV exposure, or diabetes. If we identify cataracts during your comprehensive eye evaluations, we collaborate with trusted surgeons for cataract surgery, the only known remedy for the disease. The procedure involves the removal of the cloudy natural lens and replacement with a synthetic lens, restoring lens transparency and visual clarity. A surgeon implants an artificial intraocular lens following the surgical removal of the natural lens.
Our practice provides pre-operative and post-operative care to support you throughout the process — trust Omni Eye Specialists for the best possible outcome for your vision.
Diabetic Eye Disease Care
The link between diabetes and the risk of developing eye complications is well-documented, with diabetic retinopathy being a prime concern.
At Omni Eye Specialists, we offer advanced procedures like vitrectomy and laser surgery to address the challenges of diabetic eye disease. Our approach focuses on preventing the progression of retinopathy and safeguarding your vision, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and treatment customization.
