Treatment of Eye Disease

Based on your diagnosis, we may recommend a wide variety of approaches, including improved nutrition, prescription medicines, therapy and vision exercises, or medical procedures.

Good Eyecare Begins With A Yearly Eye Exam!

Although many do not realize it, the best way to protect your vision is with a yearly eye checkup. Even a basic eye exam can instantly detect such health-threatening conditions as tumors, vascular irregularities, and diabetes-related injury to the retina. At Advanced Eyecare Associates, that basic checkup is brief and painless.

In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Dr.Kimball, Dr. Fink, Dr.Todd, and Dr.Harper are proud to announce the inclusion of the Optomap Retinal Exam as an integral part of your eye exam.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress with no symptoms. Early on, you might not notice any change in your vision. However, diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, as well as other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can often be detected with a thorough exam of the retina. The retina is the part of your eye that catches the image of what you are looking at, similar to the film in a camera.

An Optomap Retinal Exam provides:

• A scan to confirm a healthy eye or detect the presence of disease.
• An overview or map of the retina, giving your eye doctor a more detailed view than he can achieve by other means.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the Optomap images of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your medical file, enabling your optometrist to make important comparisons if potential problems show themselves at a future examination.

Our eye health evaluations are more than just vision correction!

Did you know that your eyes reveal insights regarding your overall health? In fact, your eyes provide early detection for many different diseases that can affect more than just your vision! That's why we routinely perform tests that look for signs and symptoms of many different diseases, not just eye diseases, during your regularly scheduled eye health evaluation.

Illnesses that may be discovered early on through signs in your eyes include high blood pressure, diabetes, and even heart disease. That's why it's so important to leave your total eyecare to professionals. We feel it's important to review your family history then monitor and watch for signs of possibly inherited diseases or illnesses as another precaution.

Here's what we are checking during your routine eye health evaluation:

We start by checking your eyesight to ensure that you have the best possible vision you can. If a change in lenses is indicated, we have a fully staffed optical department that can help you with the latest styles and fashions of eyewear available.

We also check your intraocular pressures in each eye. Increased ocular pressures are a sign of glaucoma. Early detection of glaucoma is crucial to prevent the loss of sight.

During the exam we also evaluate your external eye health, checking for any growths, infections, drooping of eyelids, or excessive watering. We also evaluate your eye muscle motility to make sure that both eyes are working together and your binocular visual field to check your peripheral vision.

When the doctor performs the slit lamp examination, he/she is examining your cornea (the transparent front segment of the eye that covers the iris and pupil), the anterior chamber (fluid filled space between the iris and innermost corneal surface), the conjunctiva (thin transparent mucous membrane that covers the eye and the inner surfaces of the eyelids) and the lens (which does the focusing). This part of the examination can reveal cataracts, dry eye syndrome, allergies, infection, and many other conditions.

Dilation of the pupils may be necessary to check for retinal disorders, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, and more. If laser treatment is indicated, there is no need to travel out of town. This service can be conveniently done in our office.

Our eye evaluations are the best you can find!

Many bargain eye care providers are interested only in volume and getting patients in and out of the office quickly. Our doctors care about quality above everything else. We want to make sure your vision is the best it can be and that your eyes are healthy. That is why we offer comprehensive eye health evaluations and a variety of treatment options that are performed in our office, along with the necessary follow-up to closely monitor your progress.

Few things affect the quality of your life more than your eyes. Please don't put them at risk! Start off right by seeing an eye care professional who provides full-service care in assessing your medical needs, your lifestyle, and the highest quality contact lenses available to meet your needs, and proper training to ensure great vision.

It is important to remember that contact lenses are prescription medical devices. Various brands are designed and manufactured differently. The selection of a particular contact lens needs to be based on your vision problems, prescription, eye health, comfort requirements, lifestyle, age and physiological factors like tear flow.

We'll discuss the different lens types and brands with you and advise you about the lens choices that are best for your eyes. Because everyone's eyes and vision needs are different, contact lenses are available with varying schedules for removal and replacement. We'll teach you how to properly clean and wear your new contact lenses to maximize vision and minimize potential risks.

At Advanced EyeCare we make sure that vision correction not only helps you see better, but also helps you feel better. Contact lenses aren't right for everyone, but they may be right for you. Even if you have astigmatism or need bifocal lenses, we may have a solution. Your evaluation will include:

• A look at your vision history
• An examination of your corneas
• A consultation session with one of our doctors, including recommendations and options

Our doctors specialize in contact lens care, with special emphasis on hard-to-fit cases and solving problems current contact lens patients may be experiencing.

If you are diagnosed with an eye disease, you want only the best treatment available to get your eyes and your vision healthy again. At Advanced Eyecare, our doctors will work with you to determine the most efficient personal treatment for you. Based on your diagnosis, a wide variety of approaches may be available, including prescription medication or medical procedures. Our doctors are all trained to diagnose and treat diseases such as glaucoma, conjunctivitis, foreign body removal, and dry eyes. Whatever we recommend, you can be assured that your vision health is our primary concern.

The GDX exam is a quick and painless process that allows your doctor to see the pattern and thickness of the nerve fibers in the back of your eyes. Thinner than normal nerve fibers could indicate glaucoma before any vision loss occurs. Such early diagnosis allows your doctor more time to manage the disease.

Our office is proud to use the Foresee PHP^TM to diagnose and monitor Macular Degeneration. PHP (Preferential Hyperacuity Perimeter) is an easy, painless way to detect and monitor the progression of Age-related Macular Degeneration. The PHP is a non-invasive visual field analyzer.
