Expert Care for Eye Diseases at Lesslie Vision Care
We utilize the latest diagnostic technology and treatment options to effectively manage serious eye diseases. Early detection and proactive management are key to preserving vision and maintaining eye health.
Our team provides comprehensive testing, monitoring, and treatment plans for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.
Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetes can have a significant impact on eye health, leading to a condition known as diabetic retinopathy. This disease occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, causing leakage, swelling, and vision loss if left untreated.
Routine comprehensive eye exams are essential for early detection, as diabetic retinopathy often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. We offer detailed retinal evaluations using advanced imaging technology to monitor changes and recommend treatment options, which may include medications, laser therapy, or coordination with retinal specialists for more advanced cases.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts are a leading cause of vision impairment as the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy over time. While early cataracts can often be managed with prescription eyewear and enhanced lighting, surgery is the only permanent solution for restoring clear vision.
At Lesslie Vision Care, we provide cataract surgery co-management, working closely with leading ophthalmologists to ensure seamless pre- and post-operative care. Our team will:
- Monitor cataract progression and determine when surgery is necessary.
- Provide pre-surgical evaluations to assess eye health and discuss lens implant options.
- Offer post-surgical care, including follow-up exams to ensure proper healing and optimal visual outcomes.
With our comprehensive co-management approach, you’ll receive personalized care at every step of your cataract treatment journey.
Glaucoma Testing and Treatment
Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). It develops gradually and may not cause symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred.
At Lesslie Vision Care, we utilize advanced glaucoma testing, including:
- Intraocular pressure measurement (tonometry)
- Optic nerve imaging for early detection
- Visual field testing to assess peripheral vision loss
While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and consistent management can slow its progression and protect vision. Treatment may involve medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical options, depending on the severity of the disease.
