Comprehensive Management of Eye Diseases at Aesthetic Eye Care

At Aesthetic Eye Care, we are dedicated to preserving and enhancing your vision through expert diagnosis and management of various eye diseases. Dr Hellman utilizes the latest technology and treatment options to provide personalized care for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and uveitis.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a common condition where the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and difficulty seeing at night. Our approach to cataract management includes:

• Comprehensive Eye Exams: Early detection through regular eye exams.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Depending on the progression, we may recommend lifestyle changes, prescription glasses, or refer you to a trusted surgeon for cataract surgery.
• Post-Surgery Care: Providing follow-up care to ensure optimal recovery and vision restoration.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure, and can lead to vision loss if untreated. Vision loss can often be asymptomatic during the early stages of the disease. Our glaucoma management includes:

• Regular Screenings: Early detection through comprehensive eye exams, especially for those at higher risk.
• Advanced Testing: Utilizing visual field tests, optic nerve imaging, and intraocular pressure measurement.
• Medical Management: Prescribing medications to lower eye pressure and prevent further damage.
• Surgical Referrals: For advanced cases, we coordinate with specialists to provide surgical treatments to control glaucoma.
  
  

Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of the retina, leading to a loss of central vision. Our management of AMD involves:

• Early Detection: Comprehensive eye exams to identify early signs of AMD.
• Lifestyle Recommendations: Advising on dietary changes, supplements, and protective measures to slow progression.
• Advanced Treatments: In certain types of AMD patients will benefit from intraocular anti-VEGF injections and we will refer you to a trusted, local provider for treatment
• Low Vision Aids: Providing tools and strategies to help maintain quality of life despite vision loss.
  
  

Uveitis

Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can cause pain, redness, and vision loss. Our approach to managing uveitis includes:

• Thorough Evaluation: When there is inflammation in the eye there are tiny cells floating around inside the eye that can only be seen with the magnification of a slit lamp.
• Diagnosis: Identifying the underlying cause through detailed medical history and diagnostic tests.
• Anti-Inflammatory Treatments: Prescribing corticosteroids and other medications to reduce inflammation.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to ensure effective management and prevent complications.
