Eye Diseases We Diagnose & Manage in
What Is an Eye Disease?
Unlike common eye conditions, eye diseases often involve changes in your eye health. These issues can affect the retina, optic nerve, lens, or other internal structures, and in some cases, they may lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.
Most eye diseases don’t cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. That’s why routine eye exams are so important: they allow us to detect changes early, when treatment is most effective.
Common Eye Diseases We Monitor & Treat at Optometry At Redwood Shores
We provide care and ongoing management for a wide range of eye diseases, including:
Glaucoma
Increased pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve causes glaucoma. It often develops without symptoms but may lead to vision loss if left untreated. Regular screenings help us catch it early.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, often related to aging. It can cause blurry or hazy vision, light sensitivity, and trouble seeing at night. Cataract surgery is a common and effective treatment when needed.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for clear, central vision. It may lead to blind spots or difficulty reading and recognizing faces. Early diagnosis can help preserve your vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
This diabetes-related condition damages the blood vessels in the retina and can cause vision changes or vision loss. Annual diabetic eye exams are key to detecting problems early.
Your Eye Health Is Our Priority
We’re committed to early detection and personalized treatment. If we detect signs of eye disease during your exam, we’ll explain the findings clearly and help you understand your next steps.

Lifestyle or health-related changes
-
Monitoring and follow-up care
