Management of Ocular Diseases

Many sight-threatening conditions are silent in their early stages. We use advanced imaging to detect change early and manage it over time, coordinating with your physician and, when needed, a surgeon.

Who it's for

Patients diagnosed with — or at risk for — glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts.

What to expect

  • Baseline imaging of the optic nerve and retina, repeated over time to detect change.
  • Visual field testing and eye pressure monitoring where appropriate.
  • A treatment and monitoring schedule you understand, with referrals when surgery is the right step.

When to book

  • You have diabetes and need an annual dilated retinal evaluation.
  • A family member has glaucoma or macular degeneration.
  • You've noticed glare, halos, or a gradual dimming of vision.

Not sure whether this is what you need? Call the office nearest you — we'll help you figure it out. Please don't share personal health details by email or web form.

More on management of ocular diseases

  • Silent conditions, early detection

    Glaucoma takes peripheral vision so gradually that most people never notice until a large amount is gone. Diabetic retinopathy damages retinal blood vessels years before sight changes. Macular degeneration can start with distortion so slight it hides behind the other eye. This is why imaging and a documented year-over-year baseline matter more than how well you think you are seeing.

  • What ongoing management looks like

    After a diagnosis, care becomes a schedule rather than a single visit: pressure checks, optic nerve and retinal scans, visual fields, and medication reviews at set intervals. We tell you what we are watching and what number or image would cause us to change the plan, so your visits feel like progress instead of a mystery.

  • Working with your other doctors

    Eye disease rarely stands alone. We send diabetic retinal findings to your primary care provider or endocrinologist, coordinate with retina and glaucoma specialists when treatment goes beyond our scope, and handle your follow-up care locally so you are not driving out of the Valley for routine checks.

  • Glaucoma

    Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, usually without symptoms, and typically takes peripheral vision first. Pressure checks, nerve imaging, and visual fields let us detect change early and treat it before vision is lost.

  • Macular Degeneration

    Age-related macular degeneration affects central vision — faces, reading, driving. Early detection, nutritional guidance, home monitoring, and prompt referral for treatment give the best chance of preserving detail vision.

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

    Diabetes damages the small blood vessels of the retina long before vision changes. An annual dilated exam with retinal imaging is the standard of care, and we send findings to your physician.

  • Cataracts

    A cataract is clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing glare, halos, and dulled color. We track progression, tell you honestly when surgery is worth it, and handle your post-operative care locally.
