Management Techniques
for Eye Diseases
We address a wide spectrum of eye diseases, from common ailments like cataracts to more severe issues.
Advanced Management Strategies for Ocular Diseases
Our Spring Lake, Fremont, and Norton Shores locations provide a range of effective custom solutions. These solutions incorporate a combination of medications, lifestyle recommendations, and advanced surgical interventions to manage and treat eye diseases.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management: A Clear Solution to Blurred Vision
Cataracts cloud the eye's lens, progressively blurring and dimming vision. They’re often related to aging but sometimes present from birth or can concur because of injury, severely affecting daily life.
Our cataract surgery co-management includes pre-surgery assessments, referrals to a qualified surgeon who will remove and replace the clouded lens with a clear artificial one, and personalized aftercare.
Glaucoma Testing & Treatment: Preserving Your Sight
Glaucoma describes a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is crucial for good vision. This occurs as a result of abnormally high pressure in the eye, leading to permanent vision loss overtime without early detection and treatment.
We offer comprehensive glaucoma testing and treatment, including eye pressure measurements, optic nerve imaging, and field vision tests. Management may involve medications, laser treatment, or surgery to lower eye pressure and protect vision.
Macular Degeneration: Focused Care for Your Eyes
Macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for clear central vision. This primarily age-related eye disease can affect activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Our targeted treatments are based on the disease's stage and type, ranging from early-stage dietary supplements to advanced therapies like VEGF inhibitors for wet macular degeneration.
Diabetic Eye Disease: A Proactive Approach to Vision Health
Diabetic eye disease encompasses a range of vision-threatening problems that people with diabetes may face because of their condition. High blood sugar levels that damage blood vessels in the retina cause diabetic retinopathy, which results in a loss of vision.
Our clinic adopts a proactive stance on managing diabetic eye disease, focusing on controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol and conducting regular exams.
Prescribing Oral Medication
Oral medication is a key strategy in the treatment of a variety of eye diseases, offering a systemic approach to tackling conditions that may affect the eyes indirectly or arise from systemic issues.
They’re essential for managing conditions where inflammation, infection, or even the effects of chronic diseases affect eye health.
Prescribing Oral Steroids
In situations where inflammation plays a significant role, our eye doctors might prescribe oral steroids.
These medications help reduce inflammation and swelling in the eye, providing relief and preventing further damage to the vision.
Let us empower you with the knowledge and support necessary to navigate the complexities of eye health, so your eyes remain healthy for years to come.
