Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management

Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management in Celina & Fort Recovery

Protecting Your Sight Starts Here

Your vision is more than just how clearly you see—it’s a window into your overall health. At Grand Lake Eyecare, we use comprehensive eye exams to look beyond glasses and contacts, checking for early signs of eye disease that could silently affect your sight over time.

Many common eye conditions progress without noticeable symptoms at first. That’s why early detection is key to preserving your vision. Our team proudly serves patients across Celina, Fort Recovery, and surrounding areas with proactive, personalized care.

Common Eye Diseases We Check For:

Diabetic Eye Disease

If you have diabetes, regular eye exams are essential. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in your retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema. These conditions can result in permanent vision loss if left untreated.

We perform diabetic eye exams to catch these issues early—even before you notice any changes in your sight. Managing your blood sugar, along with routine exams, can help protect your vision for the long haul

Glaucoma

Often referred to as “the silent thief of sight,” glaucoma typically develops with little to no warning signs. This group of eye diseases causes damage to the optic nerve, usually due to elevated pressure inside the eye.

Without regular monitoring, glaucoma can quietly steal your peripheral vision and progress toward blindness. We measure your eye pressure during every routine exam and look closely at the health of your optic nerve.

Types of Glaucoma we monitor include:

Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, often slow-moving and symptomless.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Less common but more sudden and painful.
Other Forms of Glaucoma: Including secondary and congenital types.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a natural part of aging for many people. Over time, the lens of your eye can become cloudy, leading to:

Blurry or hazy vision
Increased sensitivity to light
Trouble seeing at night
Faded or yellowed colors
Halos around lights

In early stages, cataracts may be managed with updated prescriptions. When they begin to affect your daily life, surgery is a safe and effective solution to restore clear vision.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD affects the macula—the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It’s a leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50.

There are two types of AMD:

Dry AMD: More common and progresses slowly over time
Wet AMD: Less common but more aggressive and serious

You may not notice AMD at first, but symptoms like wavy lines or blurring in your central vision signal it’s time for an exam.

When to Schedule an Eye Disease Evaluation

We recommend coming in for a comprehensive eye exam once a year, or more frequently if:

You have a family history of eye disease
You have diabetes or high blood pressure
You’re over the age of 60
You’re experiencing changes in vision
You’ve been diagnosed with an eye condition in the past
