Managing Eye Conditions and Diseases in Orange, CT
Protect Your Eyes with Proactive Care
Many eye conditions develop without apparent symptoms in the early stages. This is why regular eye exams are essential—not only to keep your prescription up to date but also to identify and address issues before they progress. Early detection allows for more effective management, helping to preserve your vision and prevent potential complications.
Common Eye Problems We Manage
We use advanced screening tools and diagnostic techniques to identify and manage various eye conditions. With a thorough approach, we can detect issues and help safeguard your vision and eye health.
Glaucoma Management
Nicknamed the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information from your eye to your brain. This damage is often caused by high pressure inside the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP).
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but its progression can be slowed with early detection and proper management. We provide prescription eye drops to reduce eye pressure and protect the optic nerve.
Managing Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease that affects the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.
This condition primarily affects your ability to see fine details, like reading, recognizing faces, or seeing objects clearly at a distance. It’s most common in seniors and comes in two forms: dry and wet.
We can help with nutritional supplements that slow the progression of dry macular degeneration. Wearing sunglasses and maintaining a healthy diet can also help preserve eye health.
Diabetes-Related Eye Conditions
A group of conditions that can develop because of high blood sugar levels affecting the eyes. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) and lead to complications.
Diabetes-related eye problems include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), cataracts, and glaucoma, all of which can impair vision. Early detection and management are key to preserving vision. We provide comprehensive care, including:
- Retinal Screenings: Using advanced imaging to monitor the retina.
- Blood Sugar Control: Collaborating with your healthcare team to help manage diabetes.
- Lifestyle Support: Guidance on managing your diet, blood sugar levels, and overall health.
contact lenses for Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the usually round cornea (the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye) thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. This distortion causes light to scatter as it enters the eye, leading to blurry or distorted vision.
Although there is no cure for keratoconus, several options are available to help improve vision. We offer specialty contact lenses, like scleral and hybrid lenses, that fit over the irregular cornea to provide clear vision.
In advanced cases, we can refer you to a corneal specialist.
Find Dry Eye Relief
Dry eye is a common eye condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right kind of tears to keep them properly lubricated. Tears are essential for maintaining clear vision and keeping your eyes comfortable.
