Vision Disease & Solutions

Ocular Disease

Day Eye Center in Pelham, AL provides diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases which affect the human eye and visual system.


Some examples where we have special training include:

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when the normal flow of tears over the eyes is interrupted, or the tear film is abnormal. In many cases, dry eye syndrome is a lifelong problem. You can relieve the symptoms, but not cure the original cause. Artificial tear lubricants or in some cases blocking the tear ducts will concentrate the limited tears that are available.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma can be managed with timely diagnosis and treatment. Our team offers a range of tests to detect Glaucoma early on, including observation of the optic nerve head and evaluation of nerve fiber thickness. Regular threshold field tests are also crucial for monitoring progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed. With the right medication and care, individuals with Glaucoma can continue to lead healthy and active lives.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition that can be managed with proper care and attention. It is caused by sugar levels that initiate a series of events that can lead to damage to blood vessel walls. While this can result in hemorrhages and swelling, it is important to note that with regular eye examinations, these spots can be identified and addressed before vision loss occurs. We carefully examine the back of your eyes and provide you with the results, which we may share with other physicians for a comprehensive treatment plan. Remember, taking care of your eyes is an important step in maintaining your overall health and well-being.

Cataract

Cataract is a common eye condition where the natural internal lens of the eye becomes cloudy or opaque. Although it can affect vision, it is treatable and manageable. There are different types of cataracts, each with its unique characteristics. One type is cortical cataract, which forms in a spoke-like pattern. Fortunately, cataract surgery is an effective solution to remove the affected lens and replace it with a manmade acrylic lens. Our team collaborates with skilled eye surgeons to ensure optimal pre- and post-operative care for our patients.

Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration is a condition that affects the central part of the back of the eye, but there are steps you can take to manage the risk. With our specialized tests, we can evaluate your personal risks and provide health and nutritional counseling to help reduce them. For those who genetically inherit small blood vessels, this information is especially important. While nicotine is known to contribute to an additional risk factor for Macular Degeneration, we can work with you to create a plan that reduces your risk. In advanced cases, we work closely with specialized Retinal Surgeons who are experts in treating Macular Degeneration.
