Eye Disease Management at Coastal Vision Center
The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Management
Many eye diseases develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. By the time symptoms appear, damage may have already occurred. Regular eye exams allow us to detect potential issues before they progress, giving you the best chance to preserve your vision.
During your exam, we’ll use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the health of your eyes, providing a clear picture of your vision and identifying any changes that require attention.
Eye Diseases We Screen for and Manage
Our eye doctors provide expert care for various eye conditions. Here are the diseases we commonly screen for and manage:
-
Age-related Macular Degeneration :
Age -related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. We monitor for early signs of this disease to provide tailored treatment plans. We also recommend supplements like MacuHealth to support retinal health. -
Glaucoma
Known as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms until vision loss has occurred. By measuring eye pressure and assessing your optic nerve health, we can diagnose and manage glaucoma early to protect your vision. -
Cataracts and Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts cloud the eye’s lens and are common with aging. We provide comprehensive evaluations and refer you to trusted eye surgeons for cataract removal. After surgery, we offer co-management services to ensure your recovery is smooth and successful.
Comprehensive Diabetic Eye Care
If you have diabetes, keeping your eyes healthy should be a top priority. Diabetes can lead to complications in the blood vessels of your retina, resulting in diabetic retinopathy—an eye condition that can cause severe vision loss if untreated. Regular diabetic eye exams are essential to catch these changes early and safeguard your sight.
During a diabetic eye exam at Coastal Vision Center, we:
- Use state-of-the-art imaging technology to thoroughly examine your retina.
- Monitor the health of your retinal blood vessels to detect any changes.
- Develop a customized treatment plan to address any problems.
By staying proactive, you can reduce your risk of severe complications.
