There are many conditions that affect the health of your eyes and your vision.
However, here for our introductory purposes to Eye Disease Management, we’ll briefly outline the most common conditions with which you are most likely
familiar.
Glaucoma is an eye disease where the eye pressure causes damage to the optic nerve in the
back of the eye. This disease can result in progressive vision loss and
eventually lead to blindness. Glaucoma is treated with pressure lowering eye
drops.
Cataracts occur when the structure behind the pupil called the lens becomes cloudy with
age. The cloudy lens causes blurred vision. Cataract surgery restores the
vision.
Macular degeneration occurs when the lining inside the eye called the macula begins to change with
age. Macular degeneration can result in central vision loss. Some forms of
macular degeneration can be treated by injections of special medications into
the eye.
Diabetes is a medical condition which causes high sugar levels in the blood. Uncontrolled
diabetes can cause an inflammatory process in the back of the eye which leads
to abnormal blood vessel growth. Diabetic retinopathy can result in progressive
vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy is treated with laser surgery and eye
injections.
Laser vision corrective surgery provides patients with an option for vision correction besides eyeglasses and
contact lenses. Not everyone is a candidate for laser vision corrective
surgery. A comprehensive pre-laser vision examination determines if surgery is
right for you. Dr. Frank Aquistapace is certified and skilled in all aspects of
pre and post operative laser vision care.
