Personalized Care for Every Stage of Eye Health
Eye Conditions Treated at Fox Ophthalmology
Fox Ophthalmology Associates (FOA) offers a wide range of eye treatments tailored to address various eye conditions.
Cataract Surgery
A cataract is the natural clouding of the eye’s lens, a normal part of aging. Cataracts gradually reduce vision clarity and make daily tasks more difficult.
Modern Surgical Solutions
Cataract surgery is one of the most effective and safest procedures in medicine, restoring vision with advanced lens technology.
- Small incision removal of clouded lens
- Replacement with a clear artificial lens (IOL)
- Lens options: monofocal, toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetes can affect the delicate blood vessels in the eye, leading to vision changes and complications over time. A yearly dilated eye exam is essential for early detection of diabetic retinopathy and other related conditions.
Why Regular Exams Matter
Early detection is key to preventing vision loss. Many diabetic eye conditions develop without obvious symptoms in the beginning, making routine eye care crucial.
- Dilated eye exam
- Monitoring for diabetic retinopathy
- Checking for macular swelling and bleeding
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause vision loss without noticeable symptoms. It results from increased pressure in the eye that damages the optic nerve over time.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options
Comprehensive testing and personalized treatments are used to protect your vision and slow disease progression.
- Diagnostic tests: OCT, HVF
- Treatments: eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, MIGS
- Specialist surgeries: trabeculectomy, glaucoma valves, cyclophotocoagulation
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of central vision loss in adults over 50. It occurs when the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision, becomes damaged.
Understanding AMD
There are two main forms—dry and wet AMD—both of which require early identification and ongoing care to preserve sight.
- Diagnostic signs: drusen, RPE changes, fluid or bleeding
- Testing: Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Treatments: eye vitamins, anti-VEGF injections
Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation and discomfort.
Comprehensive Relief Options
Depending on the cause, treatment can restore comfort and protect long-term eye health.
- Artificial tears & prescription drops
- Heat masks & lid therapy
- Punctal plugs for tear conservation
- Amniotic membranes & Prokera
- Advanced options: serum tears
Cornea
The cornea is the clear, front window of the eye. Damage or disease affecting the cornea can cause pain, blurred vision, or scarring.
Specialized Corneal Care
Advanced surgical and medical treatments can restore clarity and protect eye health in patients with corneal conditions.
- Corneal transplants: PKP, DMEK, DSEK
- Superficial keratectomy for EBMD and Salzmann’s Nodular Degeneration
- Pterygium excision
- EDTA chelation for band keratopathy
