Glaucoma

Often called the silent thief of sight, glaucoma damages the optic nerve due to increased eye pressure. It typically progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Routine medical eye exams are essential for catching this condition early, as vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible but can be slowed or prevented with proper treatment.

Cataracts

Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. They develop gradually and are common with age, but can also be accelerated by other factors such as diabetes or prolonged UV exposure. Cataracts are treatable with surgery when necessary, restoring clear vision.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD affects the central part of your vision, making it difficult to read, drive, or recognize faces. This disease is more common in people over 50 and can progress quickly without treatment. There are two types: dry and wet. Regular eye exams are critical for early detection and management of AMD, especially before symptoms begin to interfere with daily life.

Diabetic Retinopathy

This complication of diabetes damages the blood vessels in the retina. In its early stages, it may not present any symptoms, but over time it can lead to severe vision impairment or even blindness. Managing blood sugar and scheduling regular eye exams are key to preventing diabetic retinopathy from progressing.

Ocular Surface Disease

Conditions such as dry eye syndrome and blepharitis fall under this category. These diseases affect the tear film and surface of the eye, causing irritation, burning, or blurred vision. Left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications. We offer tailored solutions to address the root cause of these conditions for long-term relief.

The Importance of Medical Eye Exams in Stone Oak, TX

In many cases, eye diseases develop silently. By the time symptoms are noticeable, damage may already be permanent. At Eyes of San Antonio, our optometrists use advanced imaging technology and diagnostic tools to detect even the earliest signs of disease.

During a medical eye exam, we typically begin with a review of your medical history and any current symptoms. We then perform a series of diagnostic tests to assess the overall health of your eyes, including measuring eye pressure, examining the retina and optic nerve, and capturing detailed images using advanced imaging technology. These tests help us detect early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more. Our doctor will explain the findings, answer your questions, and develop a personalized care plan if any issues are detected.
