Common Eye Conditions

Understanding the various eye conditions is crucial in identifying potential concerns and seeking appropriate treatment. At David J Scholten, OD, PC, we specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of eye conditions, including:

• Myopia: Commonly known as nearsightedness, myopia is a refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry. Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the severity of myopia and develop personalized treatment plans.
• Hyperopia: Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is another type of refractive error that affects the ability to focus on nearby objects. We offer a range of vision correction options, such as glasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgeries, to address hyperopia.
• Astigmatism: Astigmatism is a condition characterized by an irregularly curved cornea or lens, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose and prescribe tailored treatments for astigmatism.
• Presbyopia: As we age, the eyes' ability to focus on close objects gradually diminishes. This condition is known as presbyopia and is typically corrected with reading glasses, multifocal contact lenses, or refractive surgeries.
• Cataracts: Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes clouded, leading to blurry vision and glare sensitivity. We offer comprehensive cataract evaluations, surgical interventions, and post-operative care to restore clear vision.
• Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of diseases characterized by damage to the optic nerve, usually due to increased intraocular pressure. Our team specializes in the early detection, treatment, and long-term management of glaucoma to prevent vision loss.
• Macular Degeneration: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye condition that affects the central part of the retina. We provide comprehensive evaluations, lifestyle recommendations, and advanced treatment options for AMD.
• Dry Eye Syndrome: Dry eye syndrome is a common condition caused by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Our team offers personalized treatment plans to alleviate discomfort, including artificial tears, prescription medications, and lifestyle changes.

• Specialty Contact Lenses: For patients with specific eye conditions, we offer specialty contact lenses, including scleral lenses, hybrid lenses, and rigid gas permeable lenses.
