Protecting Your Vision for Life
Regular eye exams do more than check your prescription. They also play a vital role in detecting and managing eye diseases before they cause vision loss. Many serious conditions, like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, develop silently, showing no symptoms in their early stages.
With early detection and proper care, we can help protect your eyesight for years to come. Our dedicated team is here for you, no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Schedule an eye exam with us today at any of our 4 convenient locations in Baden, Cranberry, Mt. Oliver, or Wexford. Take a proactive step in preserving your vision.
The Importance of an Early Detection & Treatment
Many eye diseases progress without noticeable symptoms until they reach an advanced stage. By the time vision changes occur, irreversible damage may have already occurred.
Regular eye exams allow us to catch diseases and conditions early, helping you maintain clear and healthy vision. Early treatment can slow or even prevent further vision loss, helping you continue to enjoy your daily activities.
Creating Your
Treatment Plan
At Family Vision Care, managing eye diseases starts with early detection and a personalized treatment plan. Depending on the condition, treatment may include prescription eye drops, medications, lifestyle adjustments, or referrals for advanced procedures like surgery when necessary.
In some cases, surgical options or advanced procedures may be necessary, and we’ll guide you through referrals to trusted specialists. Regular eye exams allow us to track any changes in your eye health and recommend the necessary steps to help preserve your vision and keep your eyes comfortable.
Common Eye Diseases &
Conditions We Manage
Your eyes are vulnerable to various conditions that can impact your vision and overall eye health. Some diseases develop gradually with little to no symptoms, while others can progress rapidly.
Regular eye exams are essential for detecting these conditions early and managing them effectively. The most common eye diseases are age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
Understanding these diseases and their risks can help you proactively protect your eyesight.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease affecting your macula (the part of your eye responsible for central vision). AMD makes it difficult to read, drive, or recognize faces. While AMD isn’t curable, early detection allows management options that may slow its progression.
Treatment for AMD depends on whether you have the dry or wet form, as each type requires a different approach to help manage the condition.
Cataracts are caused by the hardening of the eye’s natural lens. Proteins and fibers in the lens break down and clump together, making the lens stiff. Patients will experience cloudy and blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and faded colors.
This condition progresses slowly but can be managed with prescription glasses. However, it may eventually require surgery.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina (back of the eye), leading to vision changes and, in severe cases, blindness. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when patients with diabetes experience high blood sugar for long periods.
Symptoms may include floaters, blurred vision, and dark spots in your field of view. Regular eye exams are crucial for patients with diabetes to detect and manage this condition early.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve. It develops gradually and may not show symptoms until vision loss occurs. Without treatment, glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness, but early detection and diagnosis can help protect your sight.
Although different types of glaucoma develop in different ways, many are linked to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). During every eye exam, we check your IOP using tonometry, a test that measures the pressure inside your eye. At our practice, we use applanation, non-contact, and iCare tonometry.
