It is vital to schedule annual eye exams with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Indigo Vision Center can help treat any eye conditions or concerns you may have. Diabetic eye exams can include dilating your eyes for a better view of the retina, ensuring the entire eye is healthy. Depending upon the severity of any diabetic-related eye problems, we may request to see you more than once a year.

Glaucoma is an eye condition causing optic nerve damage and worsens over time. This condition seems to run in families and often develops at a very early age. Early stages of glaucoma often show no symptoms, so your annual exam is extremely important. Other concerns could be: red eyes, eye irritation, vomiting, upset stomach, vision loss, & severe headaches. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you need to see an optometrist immediately for a professional assessment. We offer the testing and management that you need to prevent glaucoma from severely impacting your vision and overall health.

Cataracts are the clouding of the lens. Normally, light passes through the clear lenses and is focused onto the Retina. The Cataract or cloudy lens blocks the passage of light through the eye and causes distorted or blurred vision, glare or difficulty seeing in poor lighting conditions. While the development of cataracts is generally part of the natural aging process, it can be caused by: diabetes, trauma, certain medications, excessive sun exposure and even genetic predisposition.

Patients 40 and older, and 50 percent of people older than 65 have developed significant cataracts. Cataract surgery is the most common operation in the world. In the United States, more than 2.7 million procedures are performed annually. Here, at Indigo Vision Center we offer testing and to help discover and treat cataracts. We work closely with an ophthalmologist that will meet with you in our office for a consultation if surgery is needed. We will do all your post operative surgery care in our office.
