Management of Ocular Diseases



Our Doctors Answer:

Why do I need to scan my retinas/back of my eye?

The scan, or photograph, shows exactly what the inside of your eyes looks like.  For healthy people with healthy eyes, it documents the fact that your eyes are healthy and normal.  For eyes that are not healthy, I can show you just what the problem is and be able to monitor for changes over time.

Why is my vision going bad once I turned 50?

Each birthday we get, our eyes lose a little bit of ability to focus up close.  Starting in the early 40's we notice that we can't see as well up close as we did before.  It also takes our eyes a little longer to look from one thing to another than it did before.

Do vitamins help prevent eye disease? Are there specific foods I should try to eat?

Some vitamins and antioxidants to help reduce your risk of developing certain eye diseases and promote good health overall.  Higher dietary intake levels of lutein and zeaxanthin have shown to be beneficial as well as foods that contain vitamins C, E, B6, B12 and D3 (among others).
