Eye Disease Management

Mother Father and Son, multicultural family. It's worth preventing vision loss with early diagnosis of eye disease.

Ocular Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

The latest sight-saving tools for early disease diagnosis and management are available at Eye Care Associates of Michiana.

We assess your eye health using the latest diagnostic tools that allow your doctor to detect eye disease at its earliest and most treatable stages. Some of our tools include digital retinal photography, ultrasound pachymetry, computerized corneal topography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and threshold visual field testing.

If you are diagnosed with an eye disorder, in many cases the specialized testing you will need is conveniently available at our practice so you can avoid traveling to the city or to an unfamiliar location for your disease management. Should you require an advanced eye disease specialist or surgeon, we will coordinate your care and refer you to a physician we have carefully selected and identified as “one of the best.”

Preserving the eyesight of our patients so they can get the most out of life is our greatest goal. Our Eye Care Clinic makes it a policy to ensure that all staff members are up-to-date on the latest technology and techniques to make your visit as comfortable and effective as possible. As optometric technology changes, it is even more important to visit an eye doctor who has all the right optometry qualifications and follows the latest developments in eye care.

Utilizing cutting edge technology, we diagnose and manage, with greater precision, diseases like Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Cataracts, and Diabetic Retinopathy. Earlier and more precise diagnosis means earlier treatment and better outcomes. We can take an aggressive approach to diseases that previously had few treatment options. Great advances have been made in the treatment of these diseases.

  • Cataracts are a common cause of vision loss after age 55. Learn more about recognizing cataract symptoms, protecting your eyes and understanding cataract surgery.
  • Diabetes and vision go hand in hand. If you have diabetes, you need to know that having this systemic disease puts you at greater risk for developing vision problems.
  • Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time, so nipping it in the bud will always be better for the person being tested.
  • The macula is the portion of the retina which provides sharp, central vision, and is involved in processing the fine details of the image. The breakdown of the macula is a disease called macular degeneration.
