Our Approach to Managing Eye Diseases
We are dedicated to preserving and enhancing your vision by caring for various eye diseases and conditions. Our skilled optometrists use the latest technology and personalised treatment plans to manage and treat conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
Glaucoma and How We Manage It
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure in the eye. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss.
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management, including regular eye pressure monitoring, visual field testing, and advanced imaging techniques. Our treatment plans may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or referrals for surgical options.
Cataracts and Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts occur when the eye's lens becomes cloudy, leading to decreased vision clarity and, eventually, vision loss. As cataracts progress, they can significantly impair daily activities like reading and driving.
Our team provides thorough evaluations and co-manages cataract surgery with leading ophthalmologists. Our role involves pre-surgical assessments, post-surgical follow-ups, and ensuring you receive the best possible care throughout the process.
Managing Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a chronic eye condition that affects the central part of the retina (the macula), leading to loss of central vision. This condition is more common in older adults and can severely impact activities like reading and recognising faces.
Our management includes detailed retinal imaging, lifestyle recommendations, and the use of vitamins and supplements. For advanced cases, we coordinate with retinal specialists to slow the progression of the disease.
Safeguarding Vision Against Diabetes
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss if not properly managed. Regular diabetic eye exams are crucial for early detection and treatment.
We perform comprehensive screenings, including retinal imaging and fluorescein angiography, to monitor and manage diabetic retinopathy. We provide treatment plans that may include laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and close coordination with your healthcare team to help maintain optimal eye health.
Low Vision Care And Referrals
Low vision is a condition where standard glasses, contact lenses, or surgical interventions cannot fully correct vision loss. It can result from various eye diseases and significantly affect quality of life.
2020 Eyewear offers low vision evaluations and tailor-made strategies to maximise remaining vision. Our services include referrals to low vision specialists for further support. We are committed to helping you maintain independence and improve your quality of life.
