Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is another serious complication caused by high myopia. Glaucoma happens when the pressure inside the eye is too high, which damages the optic nerve and leads to vision loss. High myopia increases the risk of glaucoma because the elongated eye shape makes it more difficult for the eye to drain fluid, which increases eye pressure.
• Macular Degeneration
  The macula is the focal point of the retina and is responsible for central vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is common in older adults, causes the macula to deteriorate.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Our optometrist at Advanced EyeCare Center provides eyewear prescriptions and offers corrective laser eye surgery co-management as well. You can get in touch with our eye doctor's office to set up an appointment at your convenience and learn more about some of our key services below.
• Cataracts
  High myopia can also contribute to the formation of cataracts, which cause the eye’s natural lens to grow progressively more cloudy.
• Cataract Surgery
  If the cataract is at an advanced stage, your eye doctor will likely recommend cataract surgery, a safe procedure where the cloudy lens is replaced with a new intraocular lens (IOL).
• Eye Exam
  Routine eye exams are important, regardless of your age or physical health. During a complete eye exam, your eye doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

Neurologists

• Neurology
  Neuro-optometric rehabilitation (NOR) is a type of vision therapy that addresses the underlying neurological problems that cause visual problems. It’s a combination of optometry, neurology, and rehabilitation techniques that are designed to improve visual skills such as eye teaming, focusing, and tracking.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Some of these disorders are present at birth, while others are acquired in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. Traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and medical conditions like multiple sclerosis can negatively affect how the eyes function.Â

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  Studies show that many children with learning disabilities also have visual issues that can make it even more difficult to learn. And sometimes, visual problems are misdiagnosed as ADHD or a learning disability because they share some of the same symptoms.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the retina's tiny blood vessels weaken and inflate as a result of high blood sugar levels. As the blood vessels grow, they bleed—causing severe vision loss, and in extreme cases even blindness.

• Physical Therapy
  Vision therapy is a non-surgical treatment program that is typically compared to physical therapy, but for the eyes and brain. Vision therapy uses exercises, lenses, specific instruments, and occlusions to enhance visual function.
