Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need cataract surgery, and what should I expect during the procedure?
If you notice symptoms such as cloudy or blurry vision, colors appearing faded, increased sensitivity to light, or difficulty with night vision, you may need cataract surgery. Our experienced team at Niagara Eye Associates will assess your condition and guide you through the process with expertise and care. During the procedure, you can expect a quick and painless surgery that replaces the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens, ultimately improving your vision and quality of life.
What are the early signs and symptoms of glaucoma, and how can it be managed effectively?
Early signs of glaucoma include gradual loss of peripheral vision, blurred vision, eye pain, and seeing halos around lights. To manage glaucoma effectively, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical options. Regular eye exams are crucial to monitor your eye health and prevent progression.
I'm considering blepharoplasty. Can you explain the procedure and the expected recovery process?
If you are considering blepharoplasty, a procedure that addresses droopy eyelids or under-eye bags, our skilled professionals can provide you with detailed information. The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes. Recovery time varies, but our team will support you throughout the process, ensuring a safe and comfortable recovery.
What are the key indicators of diabetic eye disease, and how often should I have my eyes checked as a diabetic patient?
Key indicators of diabetic eye disease include fluctuating vision, floaters, and vision loss. As a diabetic patient, it is essential to have your eyes checked regularly, typically at least once a year. Early detection and management are crucial in preserving your vision. Our attentive care focuses on monitoring diabetic eye health closely, providing you with proactive interventions to maintain optimal eye health.
How can I best protect my vision from macular degeneration as I age, and what proactive steps can I take to maintain eye health?
To safeguard your vision from macular degeneration as you age, our team recommends a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, and routine eye exams. Additionally, avoiding smoking and protecting your eyes from UV exposure can help reduce the risk.
