Ocular Diseases We Treat at Dr. Gary Gold & Associates
Cataract Co-Management
Cataracts are an age-related condition caused by the proteins in the eye breaking down and clumping together, resulting in cloudy vision. Despite the gradual development of cataracts, the good news is that cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore clear vision.
We work closely with leading eye surgeons, referring patients with advanced cataracts to them for the best possible outcomes. Our team will provide pre-surgical assessments, help you understand your lens replacement options, and offer dedicated follow-up care to monitor recovery and optimize vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy Management
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina and can lead to permanent vision loss. To prevent this from happening, we offer regular eye exams for people with diabetes, ensuring that we detect and manage any vision complications before they cause significant damage.
Halting Glaucoma Progression
Glaucoma is an eye disease that often progresses without symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred, hence its moniker as the 'silent thief of sight.' Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma in its early stages, which allows them to offer management options, such as prescription eye drops, laser treatments, and surgical interventions, to slow the progression of the disease.
Combating Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. This condition affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision needed for activities like reading and driving. Leveraging our state-of-the-art equipment, our clinic can detect signs of macular degeneration early and prescribe the appropriate treatments to slow its progression.
