Glaucoma Treatment
One serious condition that our doctors treat is glaucoma, which occurs when fluid buildup in the eye causes excessive intraocular pressure. Although many people fear this potentially sight-damaging condition, early diagnosis and treatment can help maintain your vision for a lifetime. If glaucoma is detected during your eye exam, our doctors will outline a treatment plan that may include pressure-reducing eyedrops. If he determines that surgery is your best option, you will be referred to a board-certified ophthalmologist for treatment.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eyes can be a very uncomfortable sensation. Symptoms include eyes that burn or feel gritty, itchy or sticky. Having dry eyes also makes you more sensitive to environmental changes, such as wind, poor air quality, low humidity and automobile or indoor air conditioning. Our doctors can treat dry eye with artificial tears, Restasis, or punctal plugs, which are inserted into your tear ducts to help to stop the drainage of tears.
