Early Detection and Care for Long-Term Eye Health
Eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration often develop silently and can cause permanent damage.
We use advanced tools like MPEye and retinal imaging to detect problems early and provide personalized care to protect your long-term vision.
Early Detection: The Key to Lifelong Vision
Acadiana Optics takes a proactive approach using technology to detect, monitor, and manage eye conditions before they progress. Tools like MPEye, which help detect early signs of macular degeneration, allow us to diagnose conditions at their earliest stages, giving patients the best chance at preserving their vision.
With routine screenings and preventative care, we help slow disease progression, reduce long-term risks, and ensure you continue seeing clearly for years.
Common Eye Diseases We Manage
Glaucoma: The Silent Threat to Vision
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve due to increased eye pressure, leading to gradual peripheral vision loss. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause permanent blindness.
We use eye pressure testing, optic nerve evaluations, and retinal imaging to detect glaucoma before vision is affected.
While there is no cure, treatment options such as prescription eye drops, medication, and lifestyle adjustments can slow progression and help protect your sight.
Diabetic Eye Disease: Protecting Vision for Patients with Diabetes
Diabetes can have a significant impact on eye health. High blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, blurry vision, and potential vision loss.
Over time, diabetic eye disease can cause swelling, bleeding, and scarring in the eye, permanently affecting vision.
We provide detailed retinal imaging and advanced screenings to monitor for signs of diabetic eye disease, helping patients manage their condition and prevent complications.
Blood sugar control, medication, and early intervention are key to preserving vision and reducing long-term risks.
Macular Degeneration: Protecting Your Central Vision
Macular degeneration affects central vision, making it harder to read, recognize faces, or see detail, especially in adults over 50. It worsens over time, reducing clarity.
Acadiana Optics uses MPEye to detect early signs before symptoms start. With retinal imaging, lifestyle guidance, and personalized care, we help slow progression and preserve your vision.
Are You at Risk for Eye Disease?
Certain factors increase the risk of developing severe eye conditions. You may need regular screenings if you:
- Have a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration.
- Have been diagnosed with diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Are over the age of 40, when many eye diseases develop.
- Have noticed changes in vision, blind spots, or difficulty seeing in low light.
- Have high eye pressure or previous eye injuries.
Even if you don’t have symptoms, routine eye exams are the best way to detect problems before they cause permanent damage.
Take Control of Your Eye Health
Vision loss from many eye diseases cannot be reversed, but early diagnosis and treatment can slow progression and protect your sight.
Acadiana Optics provides comprehensive medical eye care with a focus on early detection, patient education, and personalized treatment plans.
Don’t wait until symptoms appear—take a proactive approach to your eye health. Schedule an eye disease screening with Acadiana Optics and protect your vision for the future.
