Expert Care for Managing Eye Diseases in Auburn
We specialize in diagnosing and treating various eye diseases and conditions. Our team uses the latest technology to provide effective treatments that cater to the needs of our patients. Here’s an overview of the treatments available for common eye conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.
Eye Disease Management Services We Offer at Lakeland Vision Clinic
Advanced Glaucoma Care and Management
Glaucoma treatment at Lakeland Vision Clinic is tailored to prevent further loss of vision by managing intraocular pressure. Our comprehensive treatment options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser treatments, or surgical procedure referrals, depending on the severity of the condition and the needs of the patient. Our goal is to provide personalized care to halt the progression of glaucoma and preserve as much vision as possible.
Topical Drug Prescriptions for Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is often treated with topical drugs, which are prescribed to decrease eye pressure and prevent damage to the optic nerve. These medications, typically in the form of eye drops, help enhance fluid drainage from the eye or decrease the amount of fluid the eye produces.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision loss caused by cataracts. We offer cataract co-management, which includes pre-surgical assessment and post-operative care. We work closely with surgeons to ensure that our patients receive seamless and comprehensive care, from the initial consultation through the recovery process, optimizing outcomes and monitoring for any complications.
Prescription Oral Medication for Eye Conditions
For certain eye conditions, particularly those that may be influenced by systemic issues, oral medications can be an effective treatment option. These medications can help manage conditions like severe allergic reactions, infections, or inflammations that also affect the eye. Our team carefully assesses each patient to determine the most appropriate medication based on their overall health and specific eye condition, ensuring a holistic approach to eye care.
Specialized Diabetic Retinopathy Treatments
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. Our approach to managing diabetic retinopathy involves regular monitoring to detect any changes in the retina at an early stage. Treatment options may include laser surgery, injectable medications to reduce swelling and inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth, or surgery in more advanced cases. We also emphasize the importance of controlling blood sugar levels as a critical part of managing this condition.
