Management Of Diabetes, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma And Cataracts
As people age, several eye conditions can develop that have a significant impact on their vision. Complications from diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts all require careful management to prevent vision loss. Kingsley Family Vision Care provides management of each of these conditions.
Diabetic Eye Care
If you have diabetes, keeping tabs on your eye care is essential. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious condition that is a complication of diabetes, and it can lead to vision loss and even blindness if left untreated. Early detection and strict monitoring are both essential to managing diabetic eye conditions and protecting your vision.
Macular Degeneration Management
Macular degeneration is a progressive disease that causes vision loss in the center of your visual field. Though it has no cure, getting prompt treatment and management at your Kingsley eye doctor can help slow the progression. Through both injected medications and vitamin supplementation, our eye doctors can help you slow the progression of this disorder.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma occurs when the optic never becomes damaged, often due to high pressure in the eye. The leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 60 is glaucoma, which often has no warning sign and doesn’t cause a noticeable change in vision until it has progressed quite far. Only through regular comprehensive eye exams can you determine if you have glaucoma and take measures to treat it.
Cataract Management
Cataracts, which are a clouding of the lens of the eye, can make you feel as though you’re looking through a fogged-up window. As they get worse, cataracts can hurt your vision and make it difficult to manage daily activities. Surgery is the most effective way to deal with cataracts, but prior to surgery, our team can help you manage the condition.
If you are dealing with one of these common conditions, schedule an appointment with Kingsley Vision Center to start managing it with careful oversight from our skilled team.
