Treating Eye Diseases & Conditions at Granite Pointe Eye Care
Thanks to our expert team and advanced technology, we’re able to catch the very earliest signs of eye conditions. That means we can also start managing them before they affect your vision, keeping your eyesight crystal clear for years to come!
Dry Eye
Dry eye disease, characterized by discomfort, redness, and blurry vision, can stem from inadequate tear production or poor-quality tears. At Granite Pointe Eye Care, our experts conduct thorough examinations to tailor the right treatment plan for you. Alongside established therapies like LipiFlow®️️ and BlephEx®️️, we now offer innovative treatments such as Lumecca, Forma-I, and TearCare. These advanced options enhance our ability to maintain your eye health and ensure optimal hydration, providing a comprehensive approach to managing dry eye symptoms.
Cataracts
Cataracts occur when your eye’s natural lens begins to cloud: proteins in the lens break down, causing blurry vision, lack of color perception, and eventually vision loss. We’ll monitor your eyesight with comprehensive eye exams and manage your vision with customized eyewear, but resolving cataracts will ultimately require surgery. When you’re ready, we’ll connect you with a talented ophthalmic surgeon to restore or even enhance your vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes can have a strong impact on your eyes. High blood sugar can result in abnormal blood vessel formation that can clog blood flow into the eye or leak onto the retina. During a comprehensive eye exam, we use Optos ultra-widefield™ retinal imaging to gain a complete picture of the back of your eyes to monitor for minute changes: early awareness is key to better outcomes. We’ll work with you and any other doctors to keep your eyes healthy.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a family of diseases where a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP) places pressure upon the optic nerve. It’s also one of the most common causes of permanent vision loss. Regular comprehensive eye exams with industry-leading diagnostics are key to early detection, and allow us to regulate IOP and mitigate potential damage to the optic nerve. We’ll personalize an ongoing management plan to your unique case.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a disease that typically occurs with age, and weakens the macula — which is responsible for central vision. Left unchecked, it will lead to blurry vision and then loss of central vision, and these late-stage symptoms can’t be reversed. Our team can manage this eye condition with preventative care, and that starts with catching its first signs, well before it impacts your vision. We’ll make sure you have the supplements and education to keep your macula healthy.
Computer Vision Syndrome
In our screen-centric world, it’s no surprise that computer vision syndrome — also known as digital eye strain — occurs. The light emitted by digital screens, particularly blue light, can result in headaches, dry eyes, neck and shoulder pain, and difficulty focusing. At Granite Pointe, we can provide lasting relief with custom lenses, as well as help you make lifestyle adjustments to minimize the effects of computer vision syndrome.
