Technology-Driven Eye Care Experiences

Depending on your eye health needs, we may use several modern technologies to understand how we can support your eyes.

In some cases, we may dilate your pupils to see the inside of your eye better. We also offer Optos ultra-widefield imaging for an optional $20 to give you an even more comprehensive understanding of your eye health needs.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is among the most common eye diseases people can develop.

There are several different types of glaucoma, all of which can develop in different ways. As glaucoma develops, it can damage the optic nerve—the part of the eye that connects the eye to the brain—leading to permanent vision loss.

We can detect glaucoma by measuring your internal eye pressure or by examining your optic nerve during an eye exam.

Open-Angle

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of this disease. It can develop if your eyes form blockages in their drainage systems. This allows fluids to build up in your eye, increasing its internal pressure and affecting your optic nerve.

Closed-Angle

Closed-angle glaucoma occurs when the drainage systems in your eyes close completely, leading to a sudden rise in your eyes’ internal pressure and causing potential vision loss.

Closed-angle glaucoma is considered a medical emergency and can also cause other symptoms like eye pain and nausea.

Normal-Tension

Normal-tension glaucoma can occur when your eyes’ internal pressure is within normal limits, but your optic nerve still experiences damage.

This version can progress without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye exams important.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that affects the macula, the center-most part of the retina responsible for providing central vision.

Over time, AMD can make it difficult to read, drive, or recognize faces. There are 2 types of AMD:

Dry AMD

Dry AMD occurs when the macula thins with age, typically due to proteins known as drusen forming on the macula.

Wet AMD

Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of the eye and damage the macula.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetes can increase the risk of eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, both of which can lead to permanent vision loss. Diabetes can also increase the risk of developing cataracts.

If you have diabetes, we recommend having an eye exam at least every 6 months so we can monitor your symptoms.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high glucose levels affect your retina’s blood vessels, causing them to leak fluid. Over time, it may cause permanent vision loss.

Diabetic Macular Edema

Diabetic macular edema occurs when these fluids accumulate under your macula, causing it to swell and leading to vision loss.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a common eye condition that typically develops with age. As you age, your eye’s natural lens can become rigid and more opaque, causing vision problems.

Cataract symptoms can include decreased vision, light sensitivity, double vision, faded colors, and difficulty seeing at night.

Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye is a common condition in which the eyes do not produce enough lubrication to remain comfortably moist.

There are 2 types of dry eye: evaporative dry eye and aqueous-deficient dry eye. The first type occurs when you have poor-quality tears, while the second develops when you don’t produce enough tears. Both can lead to irritating symptoms.
