Eye Disease Management

At Chelmsford Optometric Associates, we specialize in comprehensive eye disease management to protect and preserve your vision. With state-of-the-art technology and personalized care, we are here to support you in managing your eye health through all stages of life. Below, explore how we address three critical areas: Diabetic Eye Exams, Macular Degeneration, and Glaucoma.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes can significantly impact your vision and eye health. At Chelmsford Optometric Associates, we provide thorough diabetic eye exams to detect and monitor complications such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and other diabetes-related conditions. Early detection and consistent monitoring are key to preventing vision loss.

What to Expect During Your Diabetic Eye Exam:

Detailed health history review
Comprehensive eye examination with dilation
Advanced imaging to assess retinal health
We work closely with your primary care physician and endocrinologist to ensure a coordinated approach to your health.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. At Chelmsford Optometric Associates, we offer early detection and management of both dry and wet forms of macular degeneration.

Our Approach Includes:

Routine screenings with advanced diagnostic tools
Nutritional counseling to slow progression
Monitoring for signs of wet macular degeneration and referral for treatment if necessary
Our goal is to help you maintain your independence and quality of life by preserving your central vision.

Glaucoma

Known as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms. This progressive condition can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. At Chelmsford Optometric Associates, we specialize in early detection and ongoing management of all forms of glaucoma.

Glaucoma Services Include:

Comprehensive eye pressure and optic nerve assessments
Visual field testing to detect peripheral vision loss
Personalized treatment plans, including medications, laser therapy, and surgical options as needed

By catching glaucoma early, we can help protect your vision for years to come.
