Below, we provide a brief overview of some of the eye conditions we regularly diagnose and treat at Rancho Santa Margarita Optometry.
Below are some of the common eye conditions we treat at Rancho Santa Margarita and what our optometrists do to treat such conditions.
Cataracts are cloudy formations on the lens of the eye that prevent you from seeing clearly. Cataracts lead to cloudy and blurry vision, but they’re not painful. In the initial stages, cataracts can be treated with specialty glasses. However, if left untreated, cataracts may eventually cause loss of vision, necessitating surgical intervention.
Retinal detachment is a painless but extremely dangerous eye condition that can cause permanent blindness if left untreated. Retinal detachment is a condition wherein the retina of the eye pulls out of its normal position, separating itself from the blood vessels that carry oxygen, blood, and nourishment to your eye.
Early signs of retinal detachment include flashing lights in your vision, floaters, the sensation of a curtain falling in your eyes, and blurry vision. If you have a high risk of retinal detachment due to excessive nearsightedness, you must go for regular eye exams to detect the condition before it worsens.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) usually affects patients over 60 years of age. This eye condition happens when the central part of the retina (macula) is damaged because of the breakdown of light-sensitive cells or blood leaking from damaged vessels. Macular degeneration can’t be cured, but its progression can be slowed or halted with certain medications and injections.
Rancho Santa Margarita Optometry takes a proactive rather than reactive approach to eye care. Rather than waiting for your symptoms to manifest, we identify eye conditions and diseases at the earliest stage possible to control or treat them before they inflict any damage.
