Conditions Treated at Miles & Tisch Eyecare
Refractive Errors: Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism
Refractive errors are among the most common vision conditions. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, makes distant objects appear blurry. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, affects the ability to see objects up close. Astigmatism causes distorted or blurred vision due to an irregular corneal shape.
These conditions are typically diagnosed during a comprehensive eye exam. Vision can often be corrected with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. In some cases, additional options may be discussed, and treatment is tailored to each patient.
Dry Eye Syndrome and Ocular Surface Health
Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. Symptoms may include burning, redness, and a gritty sensation. Vision can also become intermittently blurred. This condition is common, especially in individuals who spend long hours on digital devices. Treatment may involve artificial tears, prescription medications, and lifestyle adjustments.
Glaucoma Detection and Management
Glaucoma is a serious condition that affects the optic nerve. It is often associated with increased intraocular pressure, although it may occur without elevated pressure. Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, and early detection is essential.
During an eye exam, the optic nerve is evaluated, and eye pressure is measured. If glaucoma is detected, treatment may include medicated eye drops or referral for specialized care. Monitoring is ongoing, and regular visits are necessary.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Infections
Eye infections can develop due to bacteria, viruses, or allergens. Common symptoms include redness, discharge, swelling, and discomfort. Conjunctivitis, often called pink eye, is one example of a common infection. Our optometrists will determine the cause of the infection and recommend appropriate treatment. Antibiotic or antiviral medications may be prescribed, and hygiene practices are often discussed.
