Eye Diseases

Eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration can severely impair vision. Regular eye examinations by an ophthalmologist are important for the early detection and treatment of these conditions. Many eye diseases can be identified through an initial visual assessment and examination of the back of the eye, often preventing serious complications.
