Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management

Keeping Your Eyes & Vision Healthy

Your eyes are your window to the world, and protecting them starts with early detection. Eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration can develop quietly and cause serious vision loss if left untreated.

At Cambridge Eye Care, our team uses diagnostic technology and comprehensive management plans to identify these conditions early and provide thorough care to keep your vision healthy.

Why Early Detection Matters

Many serious eye diseases begin silently with no obvious symptoms. Regular, comprehensive eye exams give us the tools to spot changes early, often before damage occurs.

Using technology like imaging, we can identify conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts at their earliest stages. This head start allows us to create personalized treatment plans that protect your vision and slow disease progression.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects your central vision by damaging the macula, the part of the retina responsible for tasks like reading and recognizing faces.

There are 2 main types:

Dry AMD develops slowly over time and is linked to factors like smoking and diabetes.
Wet AMD is less common but more severe, caused by abnormal blood vessels growing beneath the macula that can leak fluid or blood, leading to sudden vision loss. Wet AMD requires urgent medical attention.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a progressive disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye.

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form and develops gradually when drainage blockages raise eye pressure, which can harm the optic nerve.

Closed-angle glaucoma is less common but more urgent. It occurs suddenly when the drainage angle closes, causing rapid pressure buildup. Symptoms include severe eye pain, headache, blurred vision, and nausea, and it requires immediate medical care.

Cataracts

Cataracts happen when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy as part of the aging process. This cloudiness reduces the clarity of your vision, making things look hazy or blurry. Cataracts develop gradually and can be managed early with stronger glasses.

When they become severe, cataract surgery is a safe and effective option to replace the cloudy lens and restore clear vision.

Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis, more commonly known as pink or red eye, is an eye condition that affects the conjunctiva of your eye, the thin layer that covers your eye and lines the underside of your eyelid. There are 3 common types of conjunctivitis:

Viral: Highly contagious and caused by viruses. Often resolves on its own but may need management.
Bacterial: Caused by bacteria, requires antibiotics and is contagious.
Allergic: Triggered by allergens like pollen or pet dander, managed with allergy medications or eye drops.

See your optometrist for diagnosis and effective treatment.

I went there today to get some new glasses. There was no wait, as I was seen at 2:55, even though my appointment was for 3:00! The staff were exceptionally nice and the optometrist I saw was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. The location is beautiful and they have a great selection of glasses frames. I was very impressed with my visit.
