Leading Eye Disease Care in Ellicott City
At Ellicott City Total Eye Care, we aim to preserve and enhance your vision by managing various eye diseases. Our eye doctors focus on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetes-related vision problems.
Diagnosis to Care: Comprehensive Ocular Disease Solutions
Proactive Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to abnormally high pressure in the eye. It's one of the leading causes of blindness for older adults. Early detection is vital since you can't reverse the damage. Treatments and regular check-ups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially if we catch the disease in its early stages.
We offer comprehensive glaucoma care, including regular eye pressure and optic nerve monitoring. Our optometrists can prescribe topical medications for glaucoma, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment for your needs.
Focused Care for Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a condition where the central part of the retina (the macula) deteriorates. This part of the eye is responsible for central vision and seeing fine details. The condition can lead to significant visual impairment and is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults.
Ellicott City Total Eye Care offers effective management for macular degeneration, focusing on preserving vision and slowing disease progression. Our team uses the latest treatment and monitoring techniques to provide personalized care. We offer support and solutions to help maintain your visual health and quality of life.
Diabetic Eye Care and Retinopathy Solutions
Diabetes can lead to several eye conditions, collectively known as diabetic eye disease. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss. Diabetes also increases the risk of glaucoma and cataracts, potentially leading to blindness if not properly managed.
Our diabetic eye exams proactively manage and monitor the health of your eyes. With attention to diabetic retinopathy, we employ advanced screenings and treatments to address this condition effectively, helping to preserve vision.
Personalized Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts are where the normally clear eye lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision. They develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. The primary treatment for cataracts is surgery, where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL).
Our practice provides comprehensive cataract surgery co-management to ensure you receive personalized care before, during, and after your surgery. We collaborate closely with surgeons to offer pre-operative assessments and post-operative care, optimizing your recovery and ensuring the best outcomes for your vision.
