Common Eye Diseases & Conditions

At Park Family Eye Clinic, we’re here to help you care for your vision in every way. Education is a big part of what we do—especially since many eye diseases don’t show symptoms in the early stages.

Eye diseases can impact your vision, each with unique symptoms and causes. Environmental factors also play a role—things like living near an airport, where jet fuel pollutants or low humidity from airplane cabins can contribute to eye irritation.

We’ll work with you to recognize early signs of eye issues, assess your risks, and, if needed, provide guidance and care to manage any conditions.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It develops when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, causing them to weaken, bulge, or leak fluid. In advanced stages, this condition can lead to scarring and permanent vision loss.

Regular eye exams and proper management of blood sugar levels are essential to detect and address diabetic retinopathy early.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is one of the most common eye conditions affecting adults, and it targets the optic nerve, which is essential for clear vision. Over time, glaucoma can progress and potentially lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated.

Glaucoma includes 2 main types: open-angle glaucoma, which develops gradually and is the most common, and angle-closure glaucoma, which occurs suddenly and can cause severe symptoms and rapid vision loss.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that primarily affects people aged 55 and older. This eye disease targets the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision needed for tasks like reading, driving, recognizing faces, and seeing fine details clearly.

Over time, AMD can progress and cause permanent loss of central vision, significantly impacting daily life and making detailed tasks more difficult to manage independently.

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes clouded, leading to blurry vision, faded colors, and trouble seeing at night. Although cataracts can be part of aging, certain lifestyle factors like smoking and excessive sun exposure can accelerate their development.

Protecting your eyes from UV light and maintaining healthy habits can help reduce the risk. Cataract surgery is a common, safe procedure that involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one, improving vision.

Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye disease is a common condition in which the eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort. It can result from factors like aging, environmental conditions, or health issues.

Symptoms include a gritty or sandy feeling, burning, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. People with dry eyes may experience a cycle of excessive tearing, followed by dryness, as the eyes try to compensate.

Managing Eye Conditions & Diseases

Taking care of your eyes means catching potential issues early and exploring the right management options to protect your vision. Depending on the condition, this could include lifestyle changes, medications, or treatments like laser therapy or surgery. Our goal is to provide care and support that meets your needs.

We’re committed to helping you understand your eye health and the options available. From thorough exams to personalized treatment plans and follow-up care, we’re here to guide you and provide support every step of the way so your eyes can stay healthy and comfortable.

Our Diagnostic Technology

We use various diagnostic tools and technologies to check your vision and eye health, including visual field testing and fundus photography.

Visual Field Testing

A visual field analyzer is an essential tool that helps assess your vision by identifying blind spots or areas with reduced sight. This technology allows us to map the complete field of vision, detecting potential issues early. It’s particularly valuable for spotting early signs of glaucoma.

Fundus Photography

Fundus photography is a diagnostic tool that captures detailed images of the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This non-invasive procedure helps monitor eye health and detect conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
