Glaucoma Diagnosis and Management
Accurate diagnosis is essential in the effective management of glaucoma, a complex and multifaceted disease that requires individualized attention and treatment. Early detection and intervention are critical in preventing vision loss and preserving quality of life.
| Diagnostic Test | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tonometry | Measures intraocular pressure |
| Ophthalmoscopy | Examines optic nerve and retina |
| Visual Field Test | Assesses peripheral vision |
| Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) | Evaluates retinal nerve fiber layer |
| Pachymetry | Measures corneal thickness |
At Dr. Abel's clinic, a thorough diagnostic evaluation is performed to identify the type and severity of glaucoma. This includes a detailed medical history, visual acuity test, and a series of diagnostic tests to assess the extent of optic nerve damage and visual field loss. Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include medication, laser therapy, or surgery. Our goal is to provide compassionate and effective care to help patients manage their glaucoma and maintain excellent vision.
Conjunctivitis Treatment Options
Conjunctivitis, a common and often contagious eye infection, requires prompt medical attention to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications, and various treatment options are available depending on the underlying cause and severity of the infection.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, as well as prevent complications.
In some cases, no treatment may be necessary, and the infection may resolve on its own. However, in other cases, treatment may involve:
Antibiotic ointments or eyedrops for bacterial conjunctivitis
Antiviral medication for viral conjunctivitis
Anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling and redness
Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
Good hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing, to prevent the spread of the infection
It is essential to consult an ophthalmologist, such as Dr. S. L. Abel, for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Delaying medical attention can lead to prolonged recovery, increased risk of complications, and even permanent vision loss.
