- GlaucomaI like to use the analogy of plumbing. When the drain from your sink gets plugged and the water backs up, pressure builds in the pipes. Inside you eye fluid is constantly being produced and drained. If the drain has a problem then pressure builds in the eye and this damages the optic nerve. Frequently, this damage occurs unnoticed by the individual because it is usually slow in its progression and it generally affects the peripheral or side vision first. For this reason it is important to be seen on a regular basis by Dr. Davis. At Davis Vision Center we have multiple automated instruments for detecting and following glaucoma.

- Macular DegenerationThis is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly in the U.S. Throughout life your retina (the rods and cones) are being broken down and regenerated. The breakdown products are removed by a specialized tissue called the retinal pigment epithelium (or RPE). As we age, sometimes the RPE doesn’t function properly and the breakdown products build up behind the retina. This often occurs in the area of the retina used for central vision called the macula, hence the name Macular Degeneration.

- Eye ExamBefore LASIK can be performed, you must have a thorough eye examination to ensure that you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. An ideal LASIK candidate meets the following criteria...
- Pregnancy
- Anxiety
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetes causes blood vessels to become leaky. When the blood vessels in the retina leak they can cause blurry or missing vision. Also abnormal blood vessels can grow near the retina which can cause a retinal detachment. We at Davis Vision Center are experienced in evaluating and treating Diabetic retinopathy. Generally, if you have Diabetes you should have a dilated retinal exam once a year. Also studies indicate that the better your blood sugar is normalized the better your eyes will do in the long run.
