Prompt treatment for urgent eye conditions by Dr. Miroya Monsour at Center for Sight.
Eye emergencies can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Early medical evaluation ensures the best chance of protecting your sight.
Common Emergency Eye Conditions We Treat
Early medical treatment for any sign of eye trauma is important. It is vital to the health of your eyes to check for any possible damage to the retina.
Diabetic Retinopathy
The leading cause of blindness for adults is diabetic retinopathy. Approximately 90% of diabetics are expected to experience this condition during their lifetime. The disease causes abnormalities to occur within the blood vessels that provide nourishment to the retina. These weakened vessels may leak and lead to a decrease in vision. Early detection and treatment are critical. It is absolutely vital that every diabetic patient receives a comprehensive annual eye exam.
It is reassuring to know that Center for Sight – Miroya Monsour, MD schedules time to help patients with emergency eye conditions. Regular examinations are critical to protecting and maintaining your eye health. Remember to visit your eye care professional for an examination at least once a year.
How We Treat These Conditions
● Dry EyesWe offer a variety of treatment options for patients suffering with pain, itching, redness, and decreased vision resulting from dry eyes.● Flashes and FloatersAge-related changes are a common cause of the worrisome flashes and floaters that many of our patients experience. Changes in vitreous gel and retinal shadows are the main causes for this phenomenon. The presence of these symptoms may be nothing to worry about or may indicate an issue with your retina. Contact us for a diagnostic exam if you are experiencing flashes or floaters.● Care and Treatment for Age-Related Eye ConditionsAs patients age, they can experience conditions that are treatable with the right care, such as:● GlaucomaGlaucoma tends to be caused by an increase in the production of the aqueous fluid of the eye or inadequate drainage. Glaucoma can lead to blindness if left untreated. Safe and effective treatment options for glaucoma are available at the Center for Vision.● Macular DegenerationWhen the cells of the retina become damaged, macular degeneration can occur and result in central vision blindness. Treatment options exist when the condition is diagnosed early.
