Good ophthalmology goes far beyond laser eye surgery procedures like LASIK and PRK. At Acclaro Eye Care, we are committed not only to sharpening vision but to ensuring the health of our patients' eyes throughout their lives. As complex, delicate organs, the eyes are subject to a number of dangerous conditions that can seriously impair and even destroy a person's ability to see. With advanced care and a highly personalized approach, though, the professionals at our North Oaks ophthalmology practice can help you avoid major problems and treat them should they occur. Refractive lens exchange, glaucoma treatment, and cataract surgery are just a few of the services available at our Shoreview-area office.
Cataracts are among the most common and serious age-related eye problems that can occur. As many people age, their eye lenses begin to cloud up, obstructing their vision permanently and sometimes rendering them blind. While this process cannot be reversed, the damaged lenses can be replaced during cataract surgery with artificial substitutes that allow something like normal vision. Those who undergo the procedure at our ophthalmology practice enjoy significant visual improvement that lasts.
Cataract formation is not the only reason to undergo surgery and have your natural eye lenses replaced with man-made ones. Some people choose to undergo refractive lens exchange because of lifelong vision problems or the onset of presbyopia. In the latter case, refractive lens exchange can be used to produce monovision without the aid of lasers.
Having someone well-versed in the field of ophthalmology is crucial to the success of cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, of course, but the quality of the artificial lens that is put into the eye is hugely important as well. At Acclaro Eye Care, we ensure that our patients enjoy the best possible vision by making advanced Tecnis Multifocal™, ReZoom™, and Crystalens® intraocular lenses available to our patients.
We can treat a number of eye conditions at our ophthalmology practice. Among the refractive errors that frequently bring patients to our office are myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. People with these conditions often choose optional procedures, but treatment may be a necessity for people with more serious diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Whatever eye issues you are facing, we can help you become healthy and whole again.
As we get older, we must all be on the lookout for signs of glaucoma, which can cause permanent vision loss before we are even aware of it if we are not careful. Our ophthalmology experts can help you keep on top of the condition of your eyes and stop the progress of the disease if it does appear.
Another eye disease that often strikes people as they age is macular degeneration. This condition can result in blindness if not treated. We screen for vision threatening complications of macular degeneration.
People suffering from diabetes face many health challenges, and unfortunately diabetic retinopathy is one of them. In this disease, the effects of diabetes damage the blood vessels in the retina, causing new ones to grow in undesirable locations and leading to permanent retinal damage. With expert care at our ophthalmology clinic, though, these issues can be treated and your vision can be saved.
Whether you want vision enhancement or treatment for a serious eye disease, our North Oaks ophthalmology practice has expertise and facilities needed to get the job done. Combined with our dedication to personal care and attention, these resources make us the place to turn to for glaucoma treatment, cataract surgery, and more in the Shoreview area.
