Preventive & Early Care

We understand that every patient’s eyes are unique, so we customize our diagnosis and treatment plans to meet your specific needs. Regular eye exams allow us to detect potential issues early.

Our team takes the time to thoroughly explain your diagnosis and help you understand your treatment options, whether you’re managing a chronic condition or working to prevent vision loss.

Thorough Care: Our Diagnostic Technology

To diagnose and manage eye diseases effectively, we use various diagnostic technologies that provide detailed information about eye health. These tools help us detect problems early and accurately, leading to more effective and relevant treatments.

Wide-field retinal imaging offers a detailed, panoramic view of the retina, allowing us to detect potential issues like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma early. This non-invasive technology helps us monitor your eye health and catch problems before they affect your vision.

The ZEISS Cirrus OCT is a diagnostic tool that provides detailed, high-resolution images of the retina and optic nerve. OCT technology helps detect and monitor conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease.

This non-invasive, quick scan offers information, allowing us to detect potential issues early and create personalized treatment plans to protect your vision.

Visual field testing helps us assess your peripheral vision. It plays a key role in diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and other eye diseases that can affect your sight.

By mapping out your visual field, we can detect early signs of vision loss and provide timely treatment to preserve your vision.

Cataract Management & Co-Management

Cataracts are a common age-related condition that causes clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurry vision. At River City Eye, we offer cataract co-management, working closely with trusted surgical specialists to provide you with care before, during, and after your surgery.

We offer:

Pre-op care: We thoroughly assess your eyes’ health and discuss your surgery options, helping you feel confident and informed.
Post-op care: After surgery, we provide follow-up visits to monitor your recovery and check that your eyes are healing properly.

Our goal is to make cataract surgery as stress-free and comfortable as possible.

Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if not treated. Early detection is key to managing glaucoma effectively.

At River City Eye, we closely monitor your eye health using diagnostic technology like ZEISS Cirrus OCT and visual field testing to detect changes in the optic nerve or peripheral vision.

If diagnosed with glaucoma, we work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical options, depending on the severity of the condition.

Regular check-ups and careful monitoring help prevent further damage and preserve your vision.

Macular Degeneration Management

Macular degeneration is a condition that affects the central part of the retina (the macula), leading to vision loss over time. Early diagnosis is crucial, and we use tools like ZEISS Cirrus OCT and Optos retinal imaging to monitor the health of your macula.

While there is no cure for macular degeneration, we offer management options that can slow its progression and help you maintain your quality of life.

Depending on the type and stage of the disease, treatments may include lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, or even specialized injections. Our team will guide you through the process and provide ongoing support.

Diabetic Eye Disease Management

Diabetes can affect your eyes in several ways, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema. These conditions can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems. Regular eye exams are essential for people with diabetes to catch these issues early.

We use Optos wide-field imaging and ZEISS Cirrus OCT to monitor for signs of diabetic eye disease. If we detect any changes, we offer a range of treatment options to prevent further damage.

Early detection and consistent management are key to preserving your vision.
