Caring For Your Eyes
Serving Baltimore, Lutherville and Towson, Maryland
With only one pair of eyes for a lifetime, we all need to take the best care we can to protect them. With the exception of Cataract surgery, there is little that can be done to restore vision once it is lost. However, vision can often be preserved if an eye disease is discovered early, before it causes irreparable damage.
Benefit of Early Diagnosis
Glaucoma is a prime example of an eye disease which causes vision loss with little warning. The most common form, Open Angle Glaucoma, has no early symptoms. Gradually, it steals peripheral vision, reducing your field of vision until blindness occurs. However, when diagnosed early, treatments, such as prescription eye drops, can be used to preserve your vision.
People with diabetes are at greater risk for certain eye conditions. Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition in which the retina is damaged by leaking blood vessels, permanently damaging sight. Having regular eye examinations allows your doctor to identify diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes-related eye conditions in the early stages of their onset. Early detection is the best way to halt vision loss and preserve your sight.
Early diagnosis is also important for Macular Degeneration, corneal diseases, and many other eye disorders. Why risk your eye health unnecessarily when scheduling routine eye exams can save you great suffering and expense in the future?
