Management of Eye Disease

Along with being able to get you a prescription for glasses, our Optometrists are thourougly trained in the detection and management of many eye diseases and conditions. Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration and Keratokonus are just a few common conditions that the Doctors are able to diagnose and monitor.

Many eye diseases have no signs or symptoms and are often painless, once a disease is diagnosed it is very important to have regular exams to help in control and management of the disease. Left untreated, some diseases such as Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration can lead to sever vision loss and sometimes blindness.

At the Glenmore Landing Vision Center we have state of the art technolgy that aids the doctors in disease diagnoses and mangament. Digital photos of the Retina can be taken at every exam, these photos remain on file and allow the Doctors to refer and reference from them in future exams. A visual field test can also be preformed to map any areas of vision loss and damage often caused by retinal diseases and tumors. Internal pressure checks on the inside of the eye are done routinely on every patient over 18 years old to help in the management and detection of Glaucoma.

All the Optometrists at Glenmore Landing also have their Therapeutic Pharmaceutical Agent Certification which means they are able to write prescriptions for medications needed in controlling and treating many eye conditions and diseases.
