Common Eye Problems
Here is a compilation of prevalent eye issues our office specializes in treating:
Astigmatism
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred or distorted vision due to an irregular shape of the cornea, affecting how light focuses on the eye.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a common eyelid condition that causes inflammation, irritation, and discomfort, often leading to persistent symptoms that require targeted treatment rather than temporary relief.
Cataract
Cataract
Cataracts are a common age-related condition that causes the natural lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing clearly over time.
Conjunctivitis Pink Eye
Conjunctivitis Pink Eye
Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva that can cause redness, irritation, and discharge, often requiring proper diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Conjunctival Pigmentations
Conjunctival Pigmentations
Conjunctival pigmentations, lesions, and chronic redness can affect both the appearance and health of the eye, often requiring careful evaluation to determine the cause and the most appropriate treatment.
Demodex
Demodex
Demodex is a microscopic mite that lives on the skin and eyelashes, and when overgrown, it can lead to eyelid irritation, inflammation, and chronic eye discomfort that requires targeted treatment.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetic Eye Disease
Patients with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing eye conditions because a high blood sugar level can damage blood vessels in the eye. Over 40 percent of patients diagnosed with diabetes develop some form of eye disease as a result. These conditions can cause blood or fluid to leak from the retina or new blood vessels to grow on the surface of the retina which can lead to significant damages to your vision and overall quality of life.
Double Vision
Double Vision
Double vision, also known as diplopia, occurs when a person sees two images of a single object and can be a sign of underlying eye or neurological conditions that require careful evaluation and targeted treatment.
Droopy Eyelids
Droopy Eyelids
Droopy eyelids, also known as ptosis, occur when the upper eyelid sags lower than normal, potentially affecting both appearance and vision depending on severity.
Dry Eyes
Dry Eyes
Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tear film is unstable, leading to irritation, discomfort, and fluctuating vision.
Eye Allergies
Eye Allergies
Eye allergies occur when the eyes react to allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander, leading to itching, redness, and irritation that can interfere with daily comfort and vision.
Eyelid Lesions
Eyelid Lesions
Eyelid lesions are common growths or bumps that can develop on the eyelids, ranging from harmless cysts to potentially concerning abnormalities that may require evaluation and treatment.
Flashes & Floaters
Flashes & Floaters
Flashes and floaters are common visual disturbances that may appear as spots, lines, or brief flashes of light, sometimes signaling changes inside the eye that should be evaluated.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure, leading to gradual vision loss if left untreated.
Hyperopia Farsightedness
Hyperopia Farsightedness
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects may be seen more clearly than nearby ones, often causing eye strain and difficulty with close-up tasks.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea becomes thinner and bulges outward, leading to distorted vision that requires specialized care and management.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition that affects the central portion of the retina, leading to changes in sharp, detailed vision and requiring specialized care to preserve sight.
Myopia Nearsightedness
Myopia Nearsightedness
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a vision condition affecting nearly a third of children and adults in the United States. The eye focuses properly on nearby objects, while distant objects appear blurry.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a natural, age-related vision condition that makes it harder to focus on nearby objects, often becoming noticeable in your 40s and gradually progressing over time.
Pterygium
Pterygium
Pterygium is a growth of tissue on the white of the eye that can extend onto the cornea, potentially causing irritation, redness, and vision changes if left untreated.
Retinal Tears & Detachments
Retinal Tears & Detachments
Retinal tears and detachments are serious eye conditions that occur when the retina separates or begins to pull away from its normal position, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to protect vision.
Retinal Vein & Artery Occlusion
Retinal Vein & Artery Occlusion
Retinal vein and artery occlusions are serious conditions that occur when blood flow to or from the retina is blocked, potentially leading to sudden vision changes that require prompt evaluation and treatment.
Rosacea
Rosacea
Ocular rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the eyes and eyelids, often causing redness, irritation, and dryness that require targeted treatment for lasting relief.
Stye & Chalazion
Stye & Chalazion
Styes and chalazia are common eyelid conditions that cause localized swelling, irritation, and discomfort, often requiring targeted treatment when they persist or recur.
