Embarking on Clearer Vision — Confronting Eye Diseases at McCormick Vision Source
At McCormick Vision Source, our mission revolves around delivering holistic care for a diverse spectrum of eye diseases. Our accomplished and compassionate optometrists diagnose, treat, and oversee several ocular challenges, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, ensuring ideal eye health and vision.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. Our macular degeneration services focus on early detection and management to preserve your central vision.
Through regular eye exams and advanced imaging, we monitor changes in your macula and provide interventions to slow down the progression of the disease. We use lifestyle recommendations and innovative treatments to protect your vision.
Keratoconus Treatment
Keratoconus is a progressive condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge, leading to distorted vision. Our keratoconus services encompass specialized contact lens fittings, such as scleral lenses, that provide clear and comfortable vision. We'll carefully evaluate your corneal shape and design custom lenses that ensure optimal visual correction, making daily activities more enjoyable despite the challenges of keratoconus.
Cataract Care and Consultation
Cataracts are a common eye condition characterized by clouding of the eye's lens, leading to varying degrees of blurred vision. While cataracts are often associated with aging, they can affect individuals of all ages as the lens structure changes.
During your comprehensive eye examination, our optometrists carefully assess your lens for any signs of cataract formation. As surgery is the only known remedy for cataracts, we will connect you with a trusted eye surgeon for the necessary procedure if a cataract is detected and is causing visual impairment. Rest assured, we offer continuous support with pre-operative and post-operative care.
Performed by an ophthalmologist in an outpatient setting, cataract surgery typically entails local anesthesia, ensuring minimal patient discomfort. Over 90% of these surgeries successfully restore functional vision with a low complication rate. Small-incision phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive approach, has become the global standard for cataract surgery, offering rapid post-operative recovery.
Guarding against Glaucoma
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” due to its gradual progression. Our glaucoma services include advanced diagnostic testing to detect early signs of this condition. If diagnosed, we provide personalized treatment plans to manage intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. With our expertise and vigilant care, we’re dedicated to preserving your precious vision.
Our adept eye doctors prescribe tailored medications to mitigate intraocular pressure, safeguarding vision and minimizing optic nerve damage. Careful evaluation guides our selection process, accounting for medical history, potential side effects, and concurrent medications. Timely interventions and ongoing monitoring ensure optimal eye health and quality of life.
Addressing Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an exclusive concern for individuals with diabetes, impacting the delicate blood vessels supplying the retina, the eye’s light-sensitive tissue. Initially, this disease may manifest without noticeable symptoms, underscoring the importance of annual eye examinations for diabetics.
As diabetic retinopathy advances, it can lead to dark spots or blurriness in your visual field, caused by bleeding at the back of the eye. Managing blood sugar levels is paramount for preventing vision loss, and medical interventions such as vitrectomy or laser surgery may be necessary.
No matter the diabetes type, monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels are vital to reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy. Regular diabetic eye exams are key to safeguarding against blindness, as diabetes remains the leading cause of adult blindness in the United States, emphasizing the importance of proactive eye care.
Laser Surgery Co-Management
We excel in laser eye surgery co-management for various conditions. Our experts collaborate closely to ensure seamless pre-and post-operative care, optimizing outcomes for myopia, astigmatism, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
