Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management at Littleton Eye Care

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive condition that affects the central part of the retina, known as the macula. AMD is most common in those over 50 and is considered an incurable eye disease.

Without treatment, it can damage your central vision, which is used for reading, driving, and recognizing faces.

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye, blocking or impairing the passage of light into the retina.

Cataracts can cause blurred vision, glare, and decreased color perception. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of preventable blindness and are most common in people over 40 years old.

Cataract surgery is often necessary to correct this condition and restore sight.

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina.

This can lead to swelling, leaking, and blockage of the vessels. In advanced stages, diabetic retinopathy can cause vision loss and blindness if left untreated.

Optos retinal imaging is a noninvasive technology used to detect and monitor eye disease. 

It can take high-resolution images of the back of the eye, identifying the presence of eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration.

Visual field analysis can help detect vision issues by assessing how well an eye can see peripheral objects.

Visual field analysis is often used to detect glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.
