We Offer Comprehensive Eye Disease Control in Frederick, Maryland
Control Glaucoma with Precision Care
Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," demands specialized attention. It's a group of eye diseases that affect the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP), gradually leading to vision loss. The most common forms of glaucoma are open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma, both of which require careful management. Our optometrist at Urbana Eye Care uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma in its early stages. This allows for timely intervention and effective control of IOP, which preserves vision.
Clarity After Cataracts with Expert Co-Management
Cataracts can cloud your vision and affect your daily life. They’re caused by the natural process of aging, which causes the eye’s natural lens to become cloudy. Our cataract co-management services allow us to guide you through your cataract surgery journey, from diagnosis to post-surgical care. We work closely with skilled surgeons to ensure you receive the best possible treatment, including the most suitable intraocular lens for your needs. Post-surgery, we provide quality follow-up care, ensuring optimal healing and the restoration of clear vision.
Protecting Central Vision from
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a condition that requires specialized care. It’s triggered by abnormalities in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. It comes in two main forms: wet and dry, with the former being caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula and the latter by the gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the macula. We offer advanced diagnostic imaging to monitor the progression of macular degeneration. Additionally, we explore various options to slow down the degenerative process and preserve your central vision.
Defying Diabetic Retinopathy: Reclaiming Visual Wellness
Diabetic retinopathy is a severe eye complication that can impact diabetic patients. Regular screenings are essential to detect any signs of retinal damage early. Through advanced imaging techniques, we assess the health of your retinas and design personalized treatment plans to prevent or manage diabetic retinopathy effectively. We’ll also liaise with your diabetic healthcare team to ensure that your sugar levels stay under control and that your illness is managed holistically.
