Eye Condition Treatment

Eye problems can range from mild to severe; some are chronic, while others may resolve on their own, never to appear again. The articles below will give you a basic understanding of some of these problems and their implications. The cardinal rule is if your eyes don’t look good, feel good or see well, you should visit your doctor.

The following is a short list of common eye conditions we treat, such as astigmatism, dry eye syndrome and presbyopia. For information about cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy please see Eye Disease Management.

  • Dry Eyes
    Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that develops when your eyes do not produce and maintain enough tears to keep the eye’s surface lubricated.
  • Astigmatism
    Astigmatism is a very common eye condition that's easily corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses and on some occasions, surgery.
  • Presbyopia Treatment
    As we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to start to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is because with age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and eventually it happens to some extent, to everyone as they age.

We are now seeing patients again, and many things have changed.

One thing has and will remain the same is our commitment to your health and safety. We will be asking you some screening questions, and you are now required to wear a mask in the office. Hand sanitizing stations are throughout the office.

You will now need an appointment to enter the office for any reason. Eye exams, picking up glasses, and or contact lenses. As well as choosing new frames, or glasses adjustments.

Appointments are now spaced out to allow for distancing between patients. All these procedures are designed to create the safest environment for all our patients and our team.
