NVISION is more than just a LASIK and cataract center. Our board-certified ophthalmologists treat a wide range of eye conditions to preserve and improve your vision. We handle everything from common conditions like dry eye to complex conditions like age-related macular degeneration. If you have an eye disease or condition, NVISION has specialists who can help. Many patients come to us through referrals from their optometrists because they trust us with their most complex cases.
We manage age-related macular degeneration, which affects central vision in older people. We treat glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. We diagnose and manage keratoconus, a progressive corneal disease. We treat styes, chalazia, and other external eye conditions. We manage uveitis and other inflammatory eye diseases. We handle dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. Essentially, if it's related to your eyes, we have specialists who can evaluate you and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Many serious eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration don't cause symptoms until vision is already damaged. By that point, the loss is often permanent. That's why comprehensive eye exams are so important. Optometrists screen for these conditions, and if they find something concerning, they refer to specialists like NVISION. If your optometrist recommends a specialist evaluation, take it seriously. Catching diseases early often means we can slow or prevent progression and preserve your vision.
Your optometrist does vision testing and screens for eye diseases. They're your first line of care. If they find a disease or condition requiring surgical or medical management, they refer you to an ophthalmologist. NVISION ophthalmologists are medical doctors trained in diagnosing and treating all eye diseases, and many are fellowship-trained in specialized areas like glaucoma or retina. We work collaboratively with optometrists. We send reports back to your OD about what we found and what we did. Your optometrist continues your post-operative care. It's a wonderful partnership for your benefit.
You're the quarterback of your own health. Get regular eye exams even if you see fine. Know your family history of eye disease because genetics matter. Control risk factors like diabetes and high blood pressure. Wear eye protection during activities and in the sun. If you develop symptoms like floaters, flashes, sudden vision loss, or eye pain, don't wait. Call us or go to the ER. Your vision is irreplaceable. Taking proactive steps now to protect and preserve it pays dividends for the rest of your life.
