Eye Disease Management at Simpson Optical
We provide comprehensive care for various eye diseases to ensure our patients’ long-term health and vision. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to manage conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and keratoconus.
We Use Advanced Technology for Better Eye Health
We believe in a proactive approach to managing eye diseases, leveraging cutting-edge technology for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment. We conduct comprehensive eye health assessments using advanced equipment such as the Optomap Retinal Exam, Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, and iWellness Exams.
These tools enable us to detect early signs of eye diseases, allowing for timely intervention.
Macular Degeneration Management
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss in adults and can significantly impact daily activities like reading and driving.
We use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor the macula's health for early detection. Our treatment options include nutritional supplements, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, injections or laser therapy to slow the progression of the disease. We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized care plan to preserve vision and maintain quality of life.
Comprehensive Cataract Co-Management Services
Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the eye's lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and difficulty with glare.
At Simpson Optical, we provide co-management services for cataract patients, working closely with leading ophthalmologists to ensure successful surgical outcomes. We offer pre-operative assessments and post-operative care to monitor healing and ensure optimal vision results.
Diabetic Retinopathy Care
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment and potentially blindness if left untreated.
We provide specialized care for diabetic patients to monitor and manage diabetic retinopathy. Our advanced diagnostic tools allow us to detect early signs of retinal changes. Treatment options may include laser therapy, injections, and blood sugar control to prevent the progression of the disease. Regular eye exams are crucial for diabetic patients to detect and manage diabetes-related eye diseases.
Glaucoma Screenings and Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection, as symptoms are often only present after the disease has progressed.
We use the iCare Tonometer and Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer to screen for and monitor the disease. Our management strategies include prescribing topical medications to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. In some cases, we may recommend laser treatments or surgical options. Our goal is to preserve your vision and prevent disease progression.
Prescribing Oral Medications and Steroids
In cases where eye diseases require more intensive treatment, we are equipped to prescribe oral medications and steroids.
These medications can be crucial for managing severe inflammation, infections, and other eye conditions that do not respond to topical treatments alone. Our optometrists carefully evaluate each patient's condition to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, ensuring safe and effective management of eye diseases.
Advanced Care for Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision and increased sensitivity to light. We offer comprehensive management of keratoconus, utilizing advanced tools to monitor the progression of the disease. Treatment options include custom contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, which provide clear vision by creating a smooth optical surface over the irregular cornea.
