Common Ocular Diseases We Treat Across Our Central Oregon Practices
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision and sensitivity to light. This condition can make everyday activities challenging and often requires specialized care.
Our treatments for keratoconus include custom contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, and surgical options like corneal cross-linking, which help stabilize the cornea and improve vision.
Macular Degeneration
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60, affecting central vision needed for activities like reading and driving. AMD can be classified into dry and wet types, requiring different management strategies. We provide advanced diagnostic tools, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), and personalized treatment plans to manage dry and wet AMD, helping you maintain your quality of life and independence.
Cataracts Co-Management
Cataracts cause the eye’s lens to become cloudy, leading to blurry vision, light sensitivity, and difficulties with night vision. This condition often develops slowly with age but can be effectively treated with surgery. At Central Oregon EyeCare, we offer comprehensive cataract co-management services, guiding you through every step from diagnosis to surgery and post-operative care, ensuring a smooth recovery and restored vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems such as blurred vision and dark spots. This condition can progress without warning, making regular eye exams crucial for people with diabetes. Our optometrists use advanced imaging technologies to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and provide treatments to manage the disease and prevent vision loss.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma involves damage to the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure, often without noticeable symptoms initially. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss. Our team provides early detection through regular eye exams and effective management strategies, including medication and co-management for laser treatment and surgery. We focus on controlling intraocular pressure and preventing further damage to protect your vision.
Topical Drugs For Glaucoma
Effective management of glaucoma often involves the use of topical medications. We provide personalized treatment plans to control intraocular pressure and protect your vision.
Our optometrists are qualified to prescribe oral medications for various eye conditions, ensuring you receive comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
For certain eye conditions, oral steroids may be necessary. Our team at Central Oregon EyeCare ensures these medications are prescribed and monitored carefully for your safety and health.
