Conditions Which Eyeglasses May Help
During your first eye examination at our office, we will examine your eyes and vision. Our doctor may find that you have a condition called nearsightedness. If you are nearsighted, you will see nearby objects clearly, but have difficulty with distance vision. Your doctor may then prescribe corrective eyeglasses to help improve your vision. Other refractive vision errors, such as farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia can also be managed with eyeglasses.
Other Eye Disorders
Another condition our optometrist can help manage is keratoconus. Keratoconus occurs when the cornea becomes too thin and bulges outward. This condition will cause your vision to become blurry and distorted. However, if it becomes severe, you may need a corneal transplant.
During the eye exam, our eye doctor will also find any present symptoms of glaucoma, a condition which damages the optic nerve and is often caused by increased pressure inside the eye. Although eye drops may temporarily relieve the symptoms of glaucoma, in some cases, you may require eye surgery.
One part of the eye that receives special attention is the retina, where the pictures obtained by the eye are reflected. Some retinal problems can be severe, possibly leading to blindness. Retinal issues can include retinal tears, retinal detachment, or macular degeneration. Any retinal issues require attention from an eye doctor as soon as possible.
