  • Q: Why do I need an eye health evaluation every year?  
    A: Our eyes are very important to us.   Every year our eyes change.  This change may be a change in prescription, but it also may be a change in the health of our eyes.  Many times a vision-threatening hole or tear in the retina may occur without any signs or symptoms.  For this reason, a dilation of the eyes is needed every year.  Dilating the eyes allows the doctor to evaluate the retina for holes or tears and also to look at the optic nerve for any signs of glaucoma.  Patients with diabetes and high blood pressure are also at high risk for retinal disease and should have a dilated eye exam yearly.
  • Q: What is a cataract?  
    A: The crystalline lens is the part of the eye that aids in focusing light that enters the eye.  As we age, the crystalline lens in our eye becomes more and more cloudy.  Sometimes the lens becomes so cloudy that our vision is inhibited and surgery is necessary to remove the lens and have an implant inserted in its place.
  • Q: What is glaucoma?  
    A: Glaucoma is a condition where the pressure inside the eye becomes too high and this pressure causes nerve damage.  This nerve damage then results in vision loss beginning with the peripheral vision.  A way to help decrease the nerve damage is to use eye drops to decrease the eye pressure.
