Eye Condition Treatment

Happy Parents with Child, do they need eye condition treatment?

Eye problems can range from mild to severe, with some being chronic, while others may resolve on their own, never to appear again. The articles below will give you a basic understanding of some of these problems and their implications. The cardinal rule is that you should visit your doctor if your eyes don't look or feel good or you are experiencing problems with your vision.

The following is a short list of common eye conditions we treat, including astigmatism, dry eye syndrome, and presbyopia. For information about cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, please see our eye disease management page.

Please book an appointment with our practice if you have any concerns.

  • Astigmatism is a very common eye condition that's easily corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses and on some occasions, surgery.
  • Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that develops when your eyes do not produce and maintain enough tears to keep the eye’s surface lubricated.
  • Eye allergies are a condition when the eyes react to an irritant or allergen, making them red, itchy, tearful and swollen.
  • As we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to start to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is because with age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and eventually it happens to some extent, to everyone as they age.
