Preserving Vision and Restoring Hope with Eye Disease Management
At Exact Eye Care Lemars, we protect our patients' sight through the early detection and management of eye diseases. We aim to provide expert care so seniors can enjoy their favorite activities throughout their golden years.
Cataract Co-Management: Clearing the Cloudy Lens
Cataracts, a common age-related condition, occur when the natural lens in your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and visual discomfort.
Symptoms Include:
- Increasingly cloudy vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Difficulty seeing at night
We offer cataract co-management, focusing on both pre-operative and post-operative care. Dr. Michael O'Neal uses advanced diagnostic techniques to determine the extent of cataract development, which enables him to recommend the appropriate treatment. Treatment often involves cataract surgery to replace the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens.
Macular Degeneration Management: Defending Your Central Vision
Macular degeneration affects the macula, the central part of the retina, leading to a loss of central vision. It can be dry or wet, with symptoms like:
- Distorted vision
- Dark or blurry areas in your central vision
- Difficulty recognizing faces or reading
We manage macular degeneration to slow its progression and preserve your remaining vision. We use advanced therapies, lifestyle modifications, and nutritional counseling to support your eye health. Our eye doctor also conducts regular screenings to monitor the condition, ensuring timely interventions to maintain your quality of life.
Glaucoma Management: Protecting Your Optic Nerve
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by elevated intraocular pressure. It’s a leading cause of irreversible blindness and can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection and continuous care are essential in glaucoma care.
Our eye doctor uses state-of-the-art technologies to measure eye pressure and assess optic nerve health. Depending on the severity of the condition, personalized glaucoma treatment plans may include eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery.
Diabetic Retinopathy Care: Safeguard Your Eyes
Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that damages blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment.
Symptoms Include:
- Floaters
- Blurred vision
- Sudden visual changes.
Our comprehensive approach for patients with diabetes includes regular eye exams to detect early signs of retinopathy and collaboration with your diabetes healthcare team. For those with the disease, a combination of laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and lifestyle modifications may be necessary to prevent progression.
