Why is early detection of eye disease crucial?
Sight threatening diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and others often have no outward signs or symptoms in early stages, when they are often the most treatable, which is why eye exams, including a thorough retinal evaluation, are so important to protect your vision. Our standard iWellness Exam looks for early detection of these diseases and many others in both adults and children.
What medical services are provided?
Cataracts
A cataract is an eye disease in which the clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy opaque, causing decrease in vision. If you are experiences blurred vision due to cataracts, Carbon Valley Eye Care can evaluate and advise you about various procedures and recommend a surgical specialist for you. We can see you in the weeks following surgery to give you personal attention and carefully monitor your progress.
Some things speed up the severity of cataracts like diabetes, smoking, or taking certain medications like steroids.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the United States. Glaucoma is not curable, and vision lost cannot be regained. However, with early detection and treatment, glaucoma can usually be controlled and blindness prevented. Carbon Valley Eye Care's advanced screening is the first step to preserving your vision by early detection of this disease.
Glaucoma can affect anyone from newborn infants to the elderly. It has been estimated that up to 3 million Americans have glaucoma. At least half of those people do not know they have it because glaucoma usually has no symptoms. Some will experience a loss in their peripheral vision.
