Early Detection & Management

At Experts on Sight, we believe early diagnosis and personalized treatment options are key to providing excellent vision care for our patients.

We use various diagnostic methods to help determine how we can help keep our patients informed and comfortable throughout the entire process.

Consistent eye exams and check-ups allow our team to prepare personalized treatment plans and stay updated on your unique visual needs.

A Detailed Look at Eye Diseases

Eye diseases can come in many different forms. Recognizing some of the early signs can help our patients better understand their vision and schedule an eye exam for a complete diagnosis.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which carries the information the retina receives to your brain, providing vision. Glaucoma can appear at any age, but is more common in older adults and is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over 60.

Some forms of glaucoma can develop due to fluid pressure building up in the eye, known as intraocular pressure, which can disrupt image transmission to the brain.

Common signs and symptoms of glaucoma can include:

Severe headaches
Blurred vision
Tunnel vision (in advanced stages)
Patchy blind spots in peripheral or central vision

At Experts on Sight, we use diagnostic technology to help manage glaucoma, such as:

Applanation tonometry—this eye test is used to detect changes in your eye pressure. This type of tonometry test is the most common and has been considered the most accurate for measuring eye pressure.
iCare Tonometry—the iCare tonometer is a device to help detect intraocular pressure (IOP) in a patient’s eyes while sitting or standing. While not as common as applanation tonometry, this device allows our team to perform IOP measurements successfully.

Cataracts

Cataracts develop when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes clouded. The clouding process begins when proteins in the eye form clumps that can prevent the lens from sending clear images to the retina.

Common signs and symptoms of cataracts can include:

Double vision in the affected eye
Clouded, blurred, or dim vision
Sensitivity to light and glare
Fading or yellowing of colors

Vision changes due to cataracts can be corrected with prescription lenses, but surgery is the only option to remove cataracts. Our team will perform a comprehensive eye exam to check for cataracts and determine your treatment plan.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD is an age-related vision condition that affects central vision and causes damage to the macula. AMD is a common condition and a leading cause of vision loss among older adults.

There are 2 main types of AMD:

Dry AMD is the most common form of the disease and occurs when the macula thins with age. Dry AMD progresses in 3 stages, early, intermediate, and late.

Wet AMD is the less common form and is a later-stage form of AMD that causes faster and more severe vision loss. This form of AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of the eye and damage the macula.

Early detection and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet or increased physical activity can help lower the risk of AMD development. Our team will work with you to monitor the effects of AMD and prepare a personalized treatment plan.
