- Emergency CareNever overlook the importance of safety eyewear when playing sports. Every year, hundreds of men, women, and children are injured while playing sports. To help prevent sports-related eye injuries, athletes should use protective athletic eyewear whether or not prescription eyewear is needed. One choice is a sports frame with prescription or non-prescription polycarbonate lenses. Baseball or softball players who are hit in or near the eye, or suffer a blow to the head, should seek immediate care at a hospital emergency room or from an eye care professional.
- GlaucomaGlaucoma is a blinding eye disease that has no symptoms until it is too late. We perform a couple tests on every patient during every exam looking for this silent blinding disease. It includes checking your pressure. We have several ways to do this so make sure to let our technician know if the “air puff” machine creates anxiety for you and we can check it another way. Our office has state of the art retinal and optic nerve scanning along with visual field testing. It is the same instrumentation that would be used in a large university setting for their glaucoma patients. Our doctors are experts in this disease and work closely with surgeons in the few cases that need to go on for surgical consultation.
- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration is a disease which affects a small area of the retina known as the macula. The macula is a specialized spot on the retina that allows us to see the fine detail of whatever is directly in front of us. Macular degeneration occurs when the macula begins to deteriorate.

- CataractsA cataract is an opacity of the lens of the eye. The body's natural lens is similar to an onion, with many layers. These layers contain protein and as the proteins clump together, they cover the lens and make it difficult to see clearly. Cataracts are generally seen in the older population, but they can occur at any age, even birth. By age 60, over half of the population has some symptoms of cataracts due to the natural aging process.
- Cataract SurgeryCataracts are painless but if left untreated can lead to blindness. Cataract surgery is done on an outpatient basis with little or no downtime afterwards. The surgery is performed by a medical doctor known as an ophthalmologist, who specializes in surgery of the eye. The aftercare or postoperative care can be administered by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist.
- Eye ExamAlthough many do not realize it, the best way to protect your vision is with a yearly eye checkup. Even a basic eye exam can instantly detect many health-threatening conditions, such as tumors, vascular irregularities, and diabetes-related injury to the retina. At Eye Health Solutions, that basic checkup is brief and painless.
