- GlaucomaThe second leading cause of blindness, glaucoma is a serious medical condition that affects more than 2.2 million Americans. The term glaucoma actually refers to a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve. The symptoms of glaucoma come on gradually and you cannot detect them yourself; regular professional eye examinations are the only way to find out if you have glaucoma. With early detection and continued treatment, vision can, in most cases, be saved.
- OphthalmologyL.O. Eye Care, formerly Lansing Ophthalmology, was founded in 1960 by Dr. Justin Sleight and Dr. Raymond Hogg, two ophthalmologists who believed strongly in helping those in need. That tradition continues today. The doctors and staff of L.O. Eye Care support community organizations throughout Mid-Michigan.
- Macular DegenerationAge-related macular degeneration or AMD as it is often known, is the leading cause of blindness in adults age 60 and older. AMD is a chronic condition that causes the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for seeing fine detail, to become damaged. Symptoms of AMD include blurriness, wavy lines or a blind spot. There are two forms of AMD: dry and wet. Dry AMD usually develops slowly over time, where as Wet AMD is more serious. More than 200,000 people in the United States are diagnosed every year with Wet AMD and symptoms can occur suddenly. Early detection and treatment for either form is very important and is the only way to avoid vision loss. To learn more about AMD, click here to listen to this video.
- Laser Eye SurgeryLASIK, or laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, is an outpatient surgical procedure used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. At L.O.

- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic Retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease. It occurs when blood vessels in the retina change and become damaged or new abnormal blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. People with diabetic retinopathy usually do not notice changes in their vision until the disease progresses. It is very important for people with diabetic retinopathy to see a ophthalmologist every year. If left untreated, the disease can cause irreparable vision loss.
