Ocular Disease Management
At Drs. Botts & Botts, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized care for patients with a wide range of ocular diseases. Our experienced optometrists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various conditions affecting the eyes, from common disorders to complex and rare diseases.
Whether you’re dealing with glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or other ocular health issues, we are here to help you preserve your vision and enhance your quality of life. Specialized Care for Common Conditions: Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, characterized by damage to the optic nerve.
Our optometrists are skilled in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, utilizing various treatment modalities such as medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and invasive surgical co-management to control eye pressure and preserve vision. Macular Degeneration: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative eye disease affecting the macula, leading to central vision loss.
We offer specialized care for AMD, including nutritional counseling, lifestyle recommendations, and manage referrals for advanced treatments such as anti-VEGF injections to slow disease progression and maintain visual function. Cataracts: Cataracts are a common age-related condition characterized by clouding of the eye’s natural lens. Our optometrists provide comprehensive cataract evaluations and co-manage cataract surgery with trusted ophthalmologists to restore clear vision and improve your quality of life.
Ocular Surface Disease: Ocular surface diseases such as dry eye syndrome and blepharitis can cause discomfort and visual disturbances. We offer advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans, including prescription medications, lid hygiene regimens, and in-office procedures like intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, to alleviate symptoms and improve ocular surface health. Eyelid Disease: Conditions affecting the eyelids, such as ptosis, blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction, can impact both the function and appearance of the eyes.
Our optometrists are skilled in the diagnosis and management of eyelid diseases, offering comprehensive evaluations and tailored treatment options to restore comfort and enhance aesthetics. Autoimmune Conditions: Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjögren’s syndrome can affect the eyes and lead to ocular complications. Some medications for these conditions can also cause toxicity to certain parts of the eye.
We work closely with rheumatologists and other specialists to provide integrated care for patients with autoimmune conditions, managing ocular manifestations and optimizing treatment outcomes. Ocular diseases often require ongoing management and monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term vision preservation.
We are committed to providing lifelong support for our patients, scheduling regular follow-up appointments, and adjusting treatment plans as needed to accommodate changes in your eye health or overall well-being. If you or a loved one are dealing with ocular diseases or have concerns about your eye health, don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a comprehensive evaluation. Our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way on your journey to better vision and ocular health.
