Eye Diseases We Manage in Fairfield
Expert Glaucoma Care
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. It can lead to vision loss if not properly managed. Managing glaucoma requires a specialized approach and advanced care. Our goal is to manage your condition and protect your vision.
Glaucoma management is not one-size-fits-all. Our optometrists design customized treatment plans based on the specifics of your condition. This may include medications, laser therapy, or surgical interventions to maximize treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
Prescribing Topical Drugs for Glaucoma
One common aspect of glaucoma management involves topical medications to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). Our optometrists will carefully select the most appropriate eye drops for your condition, considering factors such as the type of glaucoma and any other eye conditions you may have.
Comprehensive Macular Degeneration Management
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This condition is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 50, but you can manage it.
We provide comprehensive treatment plans that leverage the latest advancements in ocular care. Our goal is to slow the progression of macular degeneration and enhance your quality of life through personalized care.
Safeguarding Your Vision from Diabetes
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that affects individuals with diabetes, resulting from damage to the blood vessels in the retina. High blood sugar levels can cause these blood vessels to swell, leak, or even close off completely, preventing the retina from receiving the necessary nutrients and oxygen. This can lead to vision impairment and, if left untreated, can cause significant vision loss or blindness.
We offer specialized treatments to prevent and manage this condition and preserve your vision. Regular eye exams and advanced treatment options are essential in managing diabetic retinopathy effectively.
Cataract Co Management
Cataract co-management involves a collaborative approach to ensure the best outcomes for patients undergoing cataract surgery. Our optometrists work closely with ophthalmologists to manage pre and post-operative care, providing comprehensive support throughout the process.
We also conduct thorough evaluations to determine the necessity of cataract surgery and offer personalized guidance on surgical options. We monitor healing and vision improvement post-surgery, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal visual results.
Advanced Keratoconus Solutions
Keratoconus is a progressive condition that affects the cornea, leading to distorted vision. At Solano Eye Care, we offer a range of treatments for keratoconus, including specialty contact lenses and advanced surgical options. Our personalized care plans improve your vision and slow the progression of the disease.
Injectables for Ocular Conditions
We utilize injectables to treat a range of ocular conditions. These treatments can effectively manage inflammation, macular degeneration, and other serious eye diseases. Our team will explain the benefits and procedures of injectable treatments to ensure you are comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Prescribing Oral Medication & Oral Steroids
Depending on the specific condition and severity, prescribing oral medication can be a crucial component of ocular disease management. On the other hand, oral steroids are a type of medication that your eye doctor can prescribe to manage various ocular conditions, especially those involving inflammation.
Our experienced optometrists carefully evaluate the benefits and risks of oral medication or steroids and consider your overall health when making recommendations. If this medication is deemed appropriate for your condition, we will provide detailed instructions and monitor your response to the treatment.
