Eye Disease Management in Portland and Beyond
Cataract Co-Management
When it comes to cataracts, we've got your back every step of the way. We team up with eye surgeons to make sure you're all set for your surgery, giving you the lowdown on what to expect and making sure your eyes are in tip-top shape for the big day.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects central vision and is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. We utilize advanced technology to detect it early and collaborate with you to manage its progression. This may involve adopting a healthier diet, modifying certain habits, and regularly monitoring your vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy can often develop without noticeable symptoms, but we are vigilant in monitoring for it. If you have diabetes, we will carefully monitor your eye health using advanced technology to detect any changes. Our focus is on early detection and close collaboration with your healthcare provider to manage your diabetes and preserve your vision.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is often referred to as a "silent" condition due to its subtle progression. Our goal is to detect it early and monitor its development through a variety of diagnostic tests. Based on your individual needs, we may recommend treatments such as medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or other methods to help manage and reduce eye pressure effectively.
Prescribing Topical Drugs for Glaucoma
The use of topical drugs is vital in the treatment of glaucoma to reduce pressure to prevent damage to the optic nerve. We prescribe and monitor the effect of medication, adjusting treatment as necessary to ensure control of the condition.
Prescribing Oral Medication
Sometimes, keeping your eyes healthy means taking medicine by mouth. Whether it's to clear up an infection or tackle something affecting your whole body that also hits your eyes, we know what to prescribe to get you sorted.
Prescribing Oral Steroids
For big-time eye swelling, like with uveitis or optic neuritis, oral steroids can be a game-changer. We think carefully about when to use them, balancing the good they can do with any side effects to make sure it's the right move for your eyes.
