Seeing well doesn’t always mean your eyes are healthy

Many eye diseases are asymptomatic in their early stages and can only be detected through a comprehensive eye exam. While some conditions can be managed with medication or lifestyle changes, damage to the eyes is often irreversible—making early detection crucial.

At Eyetech, our optometrists use advanced technology to thoroughly assess your eye health. The eye is also the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen non-invasively, offering insights into your overall health, including signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Regular eye exams help protect both your vision and your general wellbeing.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of conditions that result in damage to the optic nerve, ultimately resulting in loss of peripheral vision if left untreated. Glaucoma is often refered to as the silent thief of sight, as the condition is asymptomatic until quite advanced. There are numerous causes and risk factors for glaucoma, including genetics, myopia, trauma and age. Glaucoma most commonly occurs due to increase in eye pressure, either from over-production of fluid in the eye, or drainage problems. Overtime as the pressure increases, the nerve becomes stressed, and peripheral vision is reduced. It is therefore important to have regular eye exams so these changes can be picked up early.

Macula Degeneration (AMD)

Age-related macular degeneration is a condition affecting the macula, which is responsible for out central fine detail vision, essential for reading, recognizing faces and driving. While there is no cure for AMD, early intervention and lifestyle changes are essential in maintaining good vision and ocular health

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when the natural lens inside the eye become cloudy. This is most commonly age-related, however can result from trauma, certain medication or systemic conditions such as diabetes.
