There are many eye conditions that need to be treated by an optometrist. You need an eye exam every year to check for a wide variety of eye diseases and conditions. To see our optometrist for everything from myopia management to dry eye treatment, give us a call at our Missouri City, TX, office. We at Optiqueye are here to help.
Dry Eye
Dry is a common eye condition that can be highly disruptive and frustrating. When the eyes aren't covered by enough tear film, or the tear film wasn't made correctly, dry eye can be the result. You may need dry eye treatment to feel better. Treatments may include medicated eye drops and other ways to relieve the dryness.
Myopia
Myopia, also called nearsightedness, is highly common. It's found in many people of every age. When you have this condition, it can be corrected by glasses or contact lenses. Myopia management can also be important for patients. Some people choose to get Lasik for this condition. Although we do not provide eye surgery, we can offer before and after care for Lasik patients.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a very serious eye disease. It can be terrible for your vision, and there may be no way to get back the vision that you've lost. Treatments for glaucoma are to slow down or stop it from continuing to progress. It can be important to get testing for it every year and to be treated right away if you have it.
Cataracts
People who are getting older might develop cataracts. This happens when the lens of the eye goes from being clear to turning cloudy. The more cloudy it gets, the more it will affect your vision. Eventually, patients might need to get cataract surgery to fix it.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a refractive error that happens when the eye is incorrectly shaped. When light comes into the eye, it doesn't get focused on the right area of the eye. This can make vision blurry. It can also cause visual distortions. There are glasses and specialty contacts that can be worn to correct your vision.
Hyperopia
This is the opposite of myopia. Instead of seeing more clearly up close, people with this condition see more clearly far away. This can be corrected with glasses, contacts, and with Lasik surgery. This condition can get worse with time.
Macular Degeneration
This is a serious eye disease that can steal much of your central vision. It can be important to have this condition diagnosed and treated when possible.
