Eye Disease Care for Early Detection & Recovery in Tyler
Eye diseases, if left unchecked, can lead to significant vision loss or even blindness. However, with early detection and proper management, it's possible to protect your eyesight and maintain your quality of life.
Eye Diseases We Manage at 20/20 iCare Tyler
Cataract Co-Management
Cataracts are a common eye disease that is caused by aging. It occurs when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy, resulting in symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty with night vision, and sensitivity to glare. Cataract surgery, one of the most common and successful procedures today, can restore clear vision. Our eye doctors co-manage the entire process of cataract treatment, ensuring a quick recovery and excellent outcomes.
Diabetic Retinopathy Care
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the retina's blood vessels. It can lead to blindness if untreated, which is why we provide regular screenings, laser treatments, and injections to manage this condition effectively.
Early Glaucoma Detection
Glaucoma typically shows no symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Increased pressure in the eye, which leads to damage to the optic nerve, causes this stealthy eye disease. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can detect glaucoma early and offer personalized treatment plans that include medications, laser therapy, or surgery.
Slowing Macular Degeneration Progression
Macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp, central vision. It's a leading cause of vision loss in people over 60, and while it has no cure, early detection and treatment can slow its progression. Our treatments focus on lifestyle changes, vitamin supplements, and, in certain cases, injections or laser therapy to help preserve your central vision.
Dry Eye Treatment & Relief
Dry eye disease is a common condition where the eyes don't produce enough tears or evaporate too quickly. Symptoms include irritation, redness, burning, and blurred vision. We offer treatments like artificial tears, anti-inflammatory eye drops, warm compresses, and punctal plugs to help manage dry eye and improve comfort.
