Irritated Eyes
read moreDuring your exam, we will take a complete history which will help us determine a diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. Irritated eyes is typically caused by one of three conditions. If you wake up in the morning, and your vision is already blurry - this could be blepharitis, or an inflamed eyelid. Usually this is caused by blocked oil glands in your eyelid, or not enough of the right type of lubrication. Treatment can be as simple as applying hot compresses and using a lubricating eye drop.
Cataracts Cedar Rapids
read moreA cataract is the lens in your eye becoming cloudy. It blurs vision, like looking through a dirty windshield. Most cataracts are a normal part of aging and can take decades to develop. Some medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart problems, may speed up the development of cataracts. If your vision seems blurry or hazy, it may be an early sign of cataracts. Difficulty with nighttime vision is another. Cataracts can cause dramatic changes in your eyeglass prescriptions until eyeglasses alone don't improve your vision.
Glaucoma
read moreInitially, most people with the condition are totally unaware of the damage starting in their peripheral vision. Regular eye exams by your ophthalmologist are the best way to detect, treat and prevent blindness from glaucoma. Once diagnosed, we can control glaucoma to prevent further damage and eliminate the possibility of vision loss. The usual treatment is to lower the eye pressure with drops, laser treatment or surgery. At Iowa Eye Center, we have the latest treatments, including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) which can safely lower eye pressure without daily eye drops.
