At Shreveport Eye Clinic, we provide complete diabetic retinopathy treatments, including assisting you in reducing the chances of developing diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is caused by having high blood sugar levels, which is a common occurrence among diabetics. Blood sugar levels that are elevated on a regular basis can cause serious damage to the blood vessels connecting the retina to the eyeball.

If this condition is diagnosed before it becomes advanced, we can administer treatment that can save a patient's vision. Glaucoma is a buildup of fluid inside the eye. This clear fluid, which is called the aqueous humor, is meant to provide nourishment for the cornea. The fluid also helps the eyeball maintain its shape and appropriate firmness.

If you experience these symptoms, schedule a comprehensive eye exam with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are developing cataracts. Several tests help an ophthalmologist diagnose the presence of cataracts and the extent of their development. Shreveport Eye Clinic uses lasers or a modern procedure known as "phacoemulsification", which employs ultrasound technology to break up the clouded eye lens.

read moreDuring a glaucoma exam, we will evaluate your visual acuity and check your internal eye pressure. If your doctor suspects that you may have glaucoma, a Visual Field Test may be performed. This test is used to determine if there is any optic nerve damage. Your doctor may also want to check your eye pressure at a different time of day to establish a pattern. These tests help determine if medical treatment is necessary. In some cases, the patient may be referred to a glaucoma specialist for further evaluation.

read moreWhile there is no prevention for cataracts, our ophthalmologists can typically help you have clearer vision with a brief outpatient procedure. If you have blurred or clouded vision and lens clouding, schedule an appointment with our ophthalmologists to discuss intraocular (IOL) and laser treatment options for cataracts. There are two methods of cataract surgery available at Shreveport Eye Clinic: phacoemulsification and laser-assisted phacoemulsification. Your eye specialist will discuss these options and help you determine which is right for you.
