Ocular Disease Management

---

Common ocular conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can potentially be averted through lifestyle adjustments and proper nutrition. Conversely, ocular diseases like glaucoma and retinal detachment necessitate early-stage treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

Our mission is to safeguard your vision and maintain the peak health of your eyes through comprehensive ocular disease assessments. Awareness plays a pivotal role in promoting optimal ocular health, with early detection leading to superior outcomes. Our optometrists will offer guidance on lifestyle modifications, dietary recommendations, and the use of dietary supplements to optimize the performance of your eyes.

Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to a range of ocular conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema. All of these can potentially result in vision impairment, yet early diagnosis and treatment can safeguard one's eyesight.

Diabetes can also manifest as double vision due to possible paralysis of the muscles that control the movement of the eyes. Moreover, individuals with diabetes may experience fluctuating vision, blurriness, frequent adjustments to their prescription, and a reduction in their visual field.

Glaucoma is progressive degeneration of the optic nerve due to elevated intraocular pressure and/or reduced blood supply to the optic nerve. This condition is most prevalent among individuals aged 40 and older, often displaying a hereditary predisposition.

Referred to as a "silent disease," patients with glaucoma typically remain unaware of vision loss until it reaches an advanced stage. Usually peripheral vision is affected first, followed by central vision during the later stages of the disease.
