GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma, an often symptomless eye disease capable of causing early blindness affects 2 of every 100 persons. It occurs when increased pressure within the eye damages or destroys the optic nerve.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CATARACTS
When the crystalline lens of the eye loses its transparency, this condition is called a cataract. Light readily passes through a normally clear lens, producing a sharp image on the retina; when the lens becomes cloudy, light can't pass through as easily and vision is impaired. Having a cataract is like trying to look through a foggy window.
Chemical changes within the protein of the lens cause clouding and yellowish or brown discoloration. While chemical changes seem to be part of the natural aging process, cataracts may also be caused by injury, inherited tendencies, diseases, birth defects, poor nutrition, and certain drugs.
A comprehensive eye health examination can detect cataract formation. After dagnosis, regular follow-up care is needed to assure the best possible correction for the level of impairment.

MACULAR DEGENERATION
Doctors consider recommending daily multivitamin supplements for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
The Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) was recently released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This ten-year ground breaking independent study resu1ted in conclusive evidence that high amounts of antioxidants and zinc are he1pfu1 in preventing progression of macular degeneration. According to Paul A. Seiving, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), "This is an exciting discovery because for people at high risk for developing advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), these nutrients are the effective treatment to slow the progression of this disease." The study concluded: "High levels of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduce the risk of advanced AMD and its associated vision loss."

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
A vision-threatening disorder that affects up to 90% of people with diabetes mellitus.
What Is Diabetic Recinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially serious disorder that affects the retina, the micro-thin membrane that covers the back of the eyeball. The light- sensitive retina receives images that are focused on its surface by the cornea and inner lens. These images are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. Any damage to the retina will result in diminished vision, or in severe cases, partial or total blindness.

DRY EYE MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT
• Lubricants
• Dilation
• Punctal Plugs
For more severe cases of dry eye, your eye doctor may recommend the insertion of tiny plugs in the tear drainage canal in the inner corner of each eye. The purpose would be to slow down the drainage of tears from the surface of the eye and therby provide more natural lubrication.
