Ocular Disease Management at Eyes Fort Worth

Understanding Ocular Disease

Ocular disease refers to a range of conditions that affect the eyes and can lead to vision impairment or loss if not properly managed. At Eyes Fort Worth, we provide comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and management of various ocular disease to ensure the long-term health of your eyes.

 

Common Ocular Diseases We Treat:

At Eyes Fort Worth, our experienced optometrists and ophthalmologists are equipped to diagnose and treat a variety of ocular diseases, including:

 

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure, but can also occur with normal pressure. It can lead to vision loss if not diagnosed and treated early. Glaucoma is oftentimes called the "silent thief of vision" because you may not experience pain, discomfort, or vision loss early in the disease process.

Symptoms:

• Gradual loss of peripheral vision

• Tunnel vision (in advanced stages)

Treatment: Medications, laser therapy, and surgery to lower eye pressure.

 

Cataracts

Cataracts involve the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred vision. They are commonly age-related but can also result from injury or other medical conditions.

Symptoms:

• Blurry or dim vision

• Difficulty seeing at night

• Sensitivity to light and glare

Treatment: Cataract surgery to replace the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

 

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina, leading to central vision loss.

Symptoms:

• Blurred or wavy central vision

• Difficulty reading or recognizing faces

Treatment: Vitamins, Anti-VEGF injections, laser therapy,

and lifestyle changes to slow progression.

 

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss.

Symptoms:

• Floaters

• Blurred vision

• Vision loss

Treatment: Blood sugar control, laser treatment, and various ocular injections.

 

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort and vision problems, ultimately affecting homeostasis on the ocular surface.

Symptoms:

• Stinging or burning sensation

• Redness

• Blurred vision

Treatment: Artificial tears, prescription medications, lifestyle modifications, and procedures.
