If you are looking for an ophthalmology practitioner in Kingston or Linstead, the eye care professionals at A B Vision Eyecare are ready to assist you. Read on to learn more about some of the conditions we treat.
Cataract
Cataracts occur when the lens becomes cloudy. Cataracts are common in older people, but anyone can develop cataracts. Our eye doctor will diagnose and then monitor your cataracts. Severe cataracts will be removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens. The procedure is quick and painless.
Ptosis
Ptosis is the name given to drooping upper eyelids. Treatment may involve more than just repairing the muscle in the upper eyelid. It is important to see an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive exam and diagnosis. The most common cause of ptosis in adults is simple aging. Treatment options include eye drops and surgery.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma occurs when the optic nerve is damaged. This damage usually occurs due to increased interocular pressure. It is important to get the pressure in your eye checked by your eye doctor whenever you go in for an exam. Eye drops can help to reduce the pressure in the eye. There are no symptoms during the early stages of glaucoma. However, the condition can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated.
Dry Eyes
Dry eyes are a very common eye condition with a variety of causes including allergies, contact lens wear, and screen time. Dry eyes can often be managed if not completely cured by avoiding situations that tend to dry your eyes and by using eye drops you can learn to live with it.
