Many diseases of the body can show early signs in the eye. Our team of Oakville optometrists is well-trained in the treatment of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes in the eye, cataracts, retinal detachments, inflammation of the eyes, and bacterial/viral infections.
Let us take care of your eyes and your health. If you need surgical care, our optometrists will ensure you are taken care of by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) in a timely manner. Our optometrists also co-manage eye pathologies with eye surgeons.
Diabetes can affect many parts of the body, with the eyes being particularly vulnerable. Diabetic eye disease, the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in Canada, often progresses silently and can cause permanent vision loss if not detected early. High blood sugar damages eye blood vessels, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection, enabling timely treatment to prevent further damage and preserve vision.
