Cryotherapy
Vitreoretinal Diseases: Medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the retina and vitreous are the focus of this specialty. These diseases can be genetic and systemic in origin. A vitreoretinal ophthalmologist uses tools like ultrasound fluorescein, angiography and electrophysiology to make a diagnosis. From there, they treat vitreoretinal diseases through using such procedures as laser therapy, cryotherapy, retinal detachment surgery and vitrectomy.

Emergency Care
Retinal Detachment. In some cases, an injury or posterior vitreous detachment can cause the retina to tear or detach from the back of the eye. If this happens, you may see a significant increase in floaters and flashes, develop a dark spot in your vision, or even experience complete loss of vision. If this happens, go to the emergency room immediately. You'll need prompt treatment to reattach and repair your retina to restore your vision.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma consists of a group of eye diseases that can gradually steal sight without warning. Although it can occur in any age group, glaucoma is more frequently encountered in those who are over 65 years of age, those with a family history of glaucoma and those of African-American descent. Certain medications, such as corticosteroids and chronic diseases such as diabetes can predispose a person to glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology training covers the entire spectrum of eye care. Ophthalmologists are trained to do thorough eye exams to prescribe glasses or contact lenses, offer medical treatment for assorted eye problems, and do complex and delicate eye surgeries for qualified candidates. They also take an active role in conducting scientific research on eye diseases and other serious vision problems. Ophthalmologists work to uncover causes behind these things and find cures.
Macular Degeneration
The macula is a highly specialized area of the retina, responsible for your most precise, sharpest vision. This delicate part of the eye is particularly vulnerable to many things including age, ultraviolet light and other factors that can lead to deterioration of vision. Whether “dry” (atrophic) or “wet” (hemorrhagic), macular degeneration leads to the loss of central vision, preventing one from achieving crisp, clear vision. Because this condition is most effectively managed in its early stages, prompt intervention and treatment are essential. While age remains the most prevalent risk factor for developing macular degeneration, other risk factors include smoking, obesity, race, a family history of the disease and gender.
Laser Eye Surgery
At OPTOMETRIC CARE INC, we provide comprehensive care to meet the vision needs of our patients. As an optometrist, Our Doctors offers pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery or other eye surgical procedures. Our goal is to help you attain the clearest vision possible using advanced technologies.
Cataracts
How does UV affect unprotected eyes? UV rays can cause proteins inside the lens to become opaque or cloudy, a condition known as cataracts. Cataracts can make interfere with night vision, reduce your ability to see colors, and make reading difficult; they cannot be reversed, only removed. UV exposure can also cause retinal damage, changes in the eye tissues, and a temporary but irritating "sunburn" of the cornea called photokeratitis.
Cataract Surgery
When a cataract develops in the lens, vision may become cloudy or blurry. Colors may seem to fade or appear dull, and you may begin to have difficulty performing daily tasks.There are many different kinds of cataracts that can develop, and some progress faster than others. While the majority are related to normal aging changes, other conditions, like diabetes, smoking, alcohol use and prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase one's risk of developing cataracts. As your cataracts progress, your eye doctor may recommend that you consider cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
During an eye exam, Our Doctors will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications your are currently taking, any blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. Doctors will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.

Skin Cancer
Spend Time in the Sun. Your body produces vitamin D when you venture outdoors on a sunny day. Unfortunately, most people don't get enough vitamin D through sun exposure alone. Doctors don't recommend that you use low vitamin D as an excuse to sunbathe though, as sun exposure increases your skin cancer risk.
Ulcer
If the abrasion becomes infected, you may develop an ulcer, or sore, on your cornea. Infected corneal ulcers are also treated with antibiotic drops, in addition to antibiotics (or antiviral or antifungal) drops.
Burns

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Many vision problems do not require surgery for correction. In these situations, vision therapy is typically an option. Vision therapy is a form of physical therapy used on the eyes and brain. It is designed to resolve vision problems that can contribute to learning disabilities. This therapy can also be used an effective treatment for problems like lazy eye, crossed eyes, or double vision.
Occupational Therapy
It does work. Studies on vision therapy show it is effective in improving the lives of patients. Data shows that this therapy can improve visual function enough to keep it from interfering with a patient's ability to absorb information and learn. In its own sphere, this therapy is as effective as physical therapy or occupational therapy..
