EYE DISEASE TREATMENT

The surprising truth about eye disease is that there are often no symptoms early on.

Only your eye doctor can detect eye diseases at an early stage when there is a better chance to develop an effective disease management plan.

Don’t delay — early detection is key. Schedule an appointment at Primary Eyecare Group today.

What are the most common ocular diseases?

There is a large range of eye diseases and conditions. But the most common include glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye disease resulting in increased pressure inside the eye. This increased pressure can lead to vision loss and impairment.

While glaucoma is considered a progressive eye disease, there are treatments that can slow the progression of the disease.

Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s internal lens structures. The cataract blocks light, making it difficult to see, and can get worse over time.

In the early stages, you may be able to improve your vision with corrective lenses. When your vision is seriously impaired, you may need to consider surgery.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes affects all of your bodily systems and organs, and including your eyes.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common type of diabetic eye disease. With diabetic retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina do not sense light as they normally would because they are constricted or damaged.

People who have diabetes are also more prone to cataracts and glaucoma.

Only your optometrist can detect eye diseases at an early stage when there is a better chance to develop an effective disease management plan.Schedule an appointment at Primary Eyecare Group today.

Patient Testimonials

Great friendly customer service-minded staff that never have a bad day. Management is excellent as are the doctors.

Queen A.

If you could give them ten stars, I would. Everyone there is friendly and personable. Dr. Engle is great at explaining everything so I can understand it. And he is actually fun, too! I feel like I am in great hands at Primary Eyecare. And it’s the best place to get great frames for your prescriptions or just for sunglasses. They have all the great brands! Go!

Suzy H.

This is an enjoyable place to visit even if you’re going to the doctor :-). The doctors are quite capable and enjoyable people. The people that help you pick out glass frames are good at what they do and the ladies behind the front desk are also top notch!

Bernice B.

Great overall experience! I simply dread eye exams. The pupil dilation, the touching my eyeball with instruments, and the puff of air are not pleasant in any way. However, today was the exception. I didn’t experience any of those things and I had the best and most thorough eye exam ever. Everyone was pleasant, informative, and helpful. I highly recommend!!!!!

Vicki S.

Today was my first visit to this office, and EVERYONE was professional, friendly, and very helpful. Dr. Young was very knowledgeable and listened patiently to my concerns and thoughts. From the front desk to the frame selection room, I was treated with respect and kindness. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Judith H.

This is probably the first doctor’s office of any kind I have visited where everyone had a welcoming attitude! I took my oldest daughter there for an exam this morning and ALL the staff we encountered at her visit were super nice and professional! The optometrist was thorough and engaged. I made an appointment for my other daughter and I before we left!

Andrea B.

This was my first exam with Dr.Pace and she is an excellent eye doctor. She was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. She even plucked a stray eyelash that was on a collision course with my cornea. The staff is also very helpful and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Tom W.

Staff were all professional and personable, making the whole experience a pleasant one. Really got the impression that people really knew their job and that the latest in eye care technology was in use. So glad we found this group.
