Eye Disease Management in Huntsville
Even if you see clearly, your eyes may still be vulnerable to hidden conditions. At 20/20 Eye Care, we provide comprehensive eye disease management in Huntsville using advanced technology to detect and manage issues early. Many eye diseases develop without obvious symptoms, but regular comprehensive eye exams allow our team to identify problems before they cause lasting damage.
Whether you’re managing glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, our experienced eye doctors can help you protect your vision and keep your eyes healthy.
Glaucoma treatment
Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Our team monitors your eye pressure and uses advanced digital retinal imaging, virtual visual field testing, and optical coherence tomography to detect early signs of this disease.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include prescription eye drops, medication, or referrals for surgical care when necessary.
Cataract treatment
Cataracts are cloudy areas that form on your eye’s lens, leading to blurry vision, sensitivity to light and glare, and poor night vision. At first, updating your prescription for contact lenses or glasses may be enough to restore clear vision. But eventually, your vision will get worse and affect your day-to-day life to the point where you’ll need cataract surgery.
If cataract surgery becomes necessary, we’ll refer you to a trusted surgeon and provide attentive post-operative care to help you recover comfortably.
Macular degeneration treatment
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that affects central vision, meaning you can’t see things directly in front of you. People with this condition may notice symptoms like blurred vision, straight lines appearing bent, trouble reading, and difficulty recognizing faces.
Detecting AMD early allows us to recommend lifestyle changes, supplements, and ongoing monitoring. While AMD cannot be cured, proactive care can slow its progression and help preserve your sight.
