Macular Degeneration Evaluation & Management
Macular Degeneration is a deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them through the optic nerve from the eye to the brain for processing. The macula, or the center of the retina, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye and controls our ability to see and process information
Glaucoma Evaluation and Management
Glaucoma is a condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve of the eye, potentially leading to vision loss and blindness. Early detection through proper screening by trained doctors is vital for preventing severe outcomes, as the condition is more manageable when caught early.
Comprehensive Diabetic Exam
Diabetes can affect more than just your blood sugar. If not managed correctly, it can also do damage to your eyes, cause diabetic retinopathy, vision loss or even blindness. Trouble with everyday tasks can occur even if you have regular glasses or contacts. Yearly monitoring is important to maintain eye health.
Dry Eye Evaluation
Ocular Surface Disease, also known as dry eye, can occur from certain medications, naturally aging, or as a symptom arising from systemic diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, or Lupus. If you have a minor case of dry eye, you may be experiencing irritation, excessive tearing, fluctuating vision, and/or a burning sensation in your eyes.
Plaquenil Exam
Plaquenil, or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), is a medication originally used for malaria prevention and treatment. It is now commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. While effective, it carries a rare risk of retinal toxicity, potentially leading to irreversible vision loss. Patients on Plaquenil are advised to do a comprehensive eye examination within the first year of treatment and follow-up exams every six months or annually.
