Common Eye Diseases

Optometry services include treatment for eye diseases and other eye health issues. If you are experiencing the symptoms of an eye disease, you need to know how to resolve the problem to avoid vision loss. At Family Eye Clinic, we offer quality eye care for our patients in North Little Rock, Little Rock, and Sherwood. Let’s look at some of the common eye diseases we treat daily.

Dry Eye

Dry eye is a health condition related to irritated, red eyes. When your eyes do not produce enough tears to stay moist, you may develop dry eyes. Prescription eye drops are often the key to treating this condition, but you may also need to wear contact lenses meant for dry eyes if you wear contacts.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is usually caused by the excess pressure that builds in one or both eyes. If you have glaucoma but do not get treatment, you may experience permanent vision loss. Treatment options for glaucoma include eye drops and surgery.

Diabetic Retinopathy

While many people with diabetic retinopathy experience blurry vision or eye floaters, others experience vision loss. Treatment for diabetic retinopathy often involves taking control of the symptoms associated with diabetes.

Cataracts

Cataracts, a condition in which the lens of the eye begins to cloud, can cause vision issues. Cataracts typically don't cause pain, but they can cause vision issues. One of the biggest challenges associated with cataracts is that the condition often comes with little warning. Many people do not notice the clouding of the lens until it is too late. At this point, surgery is often the best treatment.
