Treating Eye Diseases with Advanced Care in Seattle, Washington
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Our comprehensive co-management services for cataracts include collaborating with leading surgeons to ensure that every aspect of your treatment, from diagnosis through surgery, is seamless.
We provide pre-surgical assessments to determine the most appropriate intraocular lens based on your specific visual needs, as well as thorough post-surgical care to ensure a successful recovery.
Effective Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes that causes damage to the blood vessels of the retina. This can lead to significant vision impairment.
Our approach to diabetic eye care includes detailed retinal scans and vision tests to screen and identify this condition early. We also provide effective management strategies, including laser treatment and anti-VEGF injections, to control bleeding, reduce retinal swelling, and preserve as much vision as possible.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Care
Glaucoma can often progress unnoticed and cause significant vision loss before it is detected, hence its moniker as the silent thief of sight.
West Seattle Vision Clinic offers comprehensive screening processes, including detailed eye pressure measurements and visual field tests, to catch the disease in its early stages.
Our glaucoma management includes regular follow-ups and monitoring, allowing us to adjust treatments as necessary to offer the most ideal outcomes
Prescribing Topical Drugs for Glaucoma
To manage glaucoma, we use state-of-the-art topical medications designed to lower intraocular pressure effectively. They work by improving fluid drainage from the eye and preserve sight by reducing the risk of damage to the optic nerve.
Management of Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults and involves the deterioration of the central part of the retina. The result is the loss of detailed vision that is needed for activities like reading and driving. We conduct thorough evaluations using OCT imaging to assess and monitor disease progression.
Our personalized treatment plans help manage different stages of the disease, focusing on slowing progression and maximizing your remaining vision. This may include nutritional counseling, lifestyle adjustments, and visual aids.
Prescribing Oral Medication
Some eye conditions require systemic intervention, which is why our clinic prescribes oral medications to complement local therapies. They are useful where topical treatments are inadequate or where the condition affects multiple body systems.
Prescribing Oral Steroids
In cases of severe inflammatory eye diseases, oral steroids may be necessary. These potent medications help reduce inflammation quickly and are prescribed with careful consideration of potential side effects.
