Common Eye Diseases of Aging
Your fragile eye tissues will experience damage and progressive loss of vision from the passage of time and exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun. Cataracts cloud your eye lens and gradually cause impairment of vision. Macular degeneration is an eye disease that causes blank spots in your central field of vision. Age-related macular degeneration, often called AMD, is another progressive disease that can lead to blindness if it is not monitored and treated. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes impairment of peripheral vision. Your optometrist may prescribe drops to manage your glaucoma, but other treatments are also available, such as laser trabeculoplasty, filtering surgery, or implanting drainage tubes. Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage blood vessels in your eyes. This eye disease requires careful management to avoid retinal detachment and other issues.
Comprehensive Eye Exams Can Detect the Onset of Eye Diseases
Your eye doctor uses specialized equipment to view the internal structures of your eyes during a comprehensive eye exam. This specialized equipment allows your eye doctor to detect bleeding in the eyes, leakage of fluid, protein deposits that cause vision problems, and other signs your condition is worsening. Your optometrist can alert you of any changes in the condition of your eyes that may require additional medical treatment.
Your Eye Doctor Can Help Protect You From Vision Loss
Regular visits to your optometrist will catch any changes to the condition of your eyes and get you treatment before they become significant issues. These changes may include increasing impairment of vision or changes in the blood vessels of your eyes that could indicate a problem. Your optometrist can treat the condition before it leads to permanent vision loss or refer you to another eye specialist if surgery is required.
