Common Eye Diseases Managed By Premier Eye Care

There are several chronic eye conditions that we see in our office on a regular basis. Some of the most common conditions include:

Cataracts

Cataracts

Cataracts are a common condition as people age. This is a disease that is caused by a thin film that develops in the corner of one or both lenses of the eyes. At first, people might not notice anything. Then, the film will gradually creep across the lens until it covers almost the entire eye. Cataracts are removed and replaced with a synthetic lens that allows someone to see.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that leads to elevated pressure behind the eyes. There are two forms of glaucoma. One form develops slowly while the other develops quickly (and is a medical emergency). This is a condition that develops because the liquid behind the eye does not drain. This leads to a buildup of liquid that causes pressure to increase, damaging the nerves and blood vessels of the eyes.

This is one of the most common chronic eye conditions. This condition develops in people with diabetes. High levels of glucose damage the nerves and blood vessels of the eye.
