Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management

Preserving Your Long-Term Vision

Eye disease can come in many forms and affect your eye health in many ways.

Our team strives to preserve your long-term vision, whether you need pre- and post-op care for cataracts, glaucoma management, diabetic eye care, or macular degeneration management. Through consistent eye exams, we can monitor and manage potential issues early.

Dr. Marsden and the rest of the team take a hands-on approach to eye disease management. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.

Detecting Eye Disease Early

The sooner we catch eye disease, the better the chances of treatment preserving your vision and preventing irreversible damage.

Through our experience and the implementation of diagnostic technology, we can capture the details of your eye health and get started on a personalized treatment plan early to preserve your long-term vision.

The Different Forms of Eye Disease

Eye disease and conditions can come in many forms. Our team works with you to educate and prepare you for what to expect when dealing with these issues. Patient education and awareness are important aspects of our eye disease services.

Once we spot the early signs of eye disease or other eye conditions, our team will prepare a personalized treatment and management plan to mitigate the effects on your eye health and vision.

Cataract Co-Management

Cataracts are the clouding of your normally clear lens in your eye. They can cause symptoms like blurry vision, dim or yellowed colours, and difficulty seeing at night.

Cataracts begin when proteins in your eye clump together, partially obscuring light from reaching your retina, the thin layer of tissue that lines the back of your eye. They generally occur due to natural age-related changes in the eyes.

If left untreated, cataracts can cloud your vision, making even basic tasks like reading or driving a challenge. Fortunately, cataract surgery can restore clarity and improve your quality of life.

We provide pre-cataract surgery evaluation and post-op care.

Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, which is responsible for sending visual information to your brain.

There are different types of glaucoma, but most of them develop without noticeable symptoms and can lead to permanent vision loss if not caught and managed. High IOP is a risk factor for glaucoma, so we use tonometry to measure it during every eye exam.

We check for glaucoma in every single patient and offer tonometry, which is an eye test that can detect changes in eye pressure long before you may be aware of them.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetes can increase your risk of developing eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a primary vision-loss concern for those with diabetes.

Diabetic retinopathy causes damage to the blood vessels in the retina. While the condition can initially progress without symptoms, as it advances, it can cause:

Blurry vision

Loss of central vision

Trouble seeing at night

Black spots or holes in your vision

We use optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other technology during a diabetic eye exam to assist with the early detection of diabetic eye issues.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease caused by damage to your macula, affecting your detailed central vision. This damage can make daily activities like reading and driving much more difficult.

There are 2 main types of AMD:

Dry AMD is the most common form of the disease and occurs when the macula thins with age.

Wet AMD is less common and can cause faster and more severe vision loss. Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of the eye that can leak fluid.

We use optical coherence tomography testing to help detect and manage AMD.
