Complete Eye Care, from Detection to Long-Term Management
Eye disease and different conditionscan affect your eye health and vision. However, these issues can be difficult to notice without a proper diagnosis from your optometrist. Identifying a problem as early as possible can help you get the treatment you need sooner.
From routine screenings to detailed evaluations, we help patients stay informed about their eye health and support long-term vision care. Our team works closely with you to explain each condition, its potential impact, and what steps can be taken to maintain your eyesight.
Visit Eye Sea Davis Optometry, and we can diagnose and manage eye disease. Many eye diseases require long-term management, and we’re here to provide it.
We’re Here to Help Manage Eye Disease
Many eye diseases or conditions can develop with little to no symptoms until they affect your vision, putting your eyesight at risk. While these symptoms can be challenging to identify on their own, we can diagnose these problems using our diagnostic technology. Identifying these problems as early as we can is crucial for protecting your eye health and vision.
We can recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific vision needs following a diagnosis. Our team is here to help manage eye disease.
Diagnostic Technology We Use
Our comprehensive approach to eye exams includes diagnostic tools to help identify eye disease and other conditions early:
- Optos Imaging: Ultra-widefield retinal imaging for early detection of retinal and macular disease.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): Cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve to detect subtle structural changes.
- iCare: Comfortable, accurate measurement of intraocular pressure to help monitor glaucoma risk.
- Visual Field Testing: Evaluates your side vision to detect early changes in optic nerve or neurological function.
- AdaptDx: Measures dark adaptation speed to identify early signs of age-related macular degeneration.
- Meibography: Provides detailed imaging of the meibomian glands to assess the cause of dry eye disease.
- Anterior Segment Camera: Captures high-resolution images of the front of the eye to document corneal, conjunctival, and eyelid conditions.
These tools can help us catch issues early, keep a close eye on your vision, and tailor each management strategy to fit your unique needs, so you always feel well looked after.
Common Eye Diseases & Conditions We Manage
While you can develop eye disease at any age, your risk increases with time. Regular eye exams are important as you age, helping identify changes in your vision caused by eye disease.
The earlier we diagnose a problem, the less chance there is of vision loss. We test for eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma during our eye exams.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects your central vision, which is essential for reading, recognizing faces, and driving. As we age, the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision, gradually loses cells, reducing visual clarity.
AMD can make everyday tasks more difficult and impact your independence. There are 2 main forms of AMD: dry AMD, which progresses slowly, and wet AMD, which can cause rapid vision changes.
Each form requires a different approach to treatment and monitoring. Early detection is key to preserving as much vision as possible.
Learn more about our approach to AMD testing and management.
A cataract occurs when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy, affecting the way light passes through to the retina. This clouding usually develops gradually with age as the proteins and fibers in the lens break down and clump together. Cataracts can cause blurred or dim vision, difficulty seeing at night, and increased glare from lights.
If left untreated, they can significantly reduce visual clarity.Cataract surgery is highly effective, often restoring sharp, clear vision and improving quality of life.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. High blood sugar levels can damage these vessels, causing them to swell, leak fluid, or bleed. Over time, this damage can lead to scar tissue and permanent vision loss if left untreated.
Regular eye exams are critical for early detection, as diabetic retinopathy may progress without noticeable symptoms. Timely treatment and proper diabetes management can significantly reduce the risk of vision complications.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. This damage can lead to progressive vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and potentially resulting in blindness if untreated. Early detection and consistent management are crucial for preserving vision.
There are several types of glaucoma, including:
- Primary open-angle glaucoma
- Acute angle-closure glaucoma
- Normal-tension glaucoma
Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes are not properly lubricated, either because your body does not produce enough tears or because your tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can cause a range of irritating symptoms, including burning, stinging, redness, and blurry vision.
Dry eye can develop for many reasons, including meibomian gland dysfunction, contact lens wear, screen time, and environmental factors. Although it is a chronic condition, effective management can bring lasting relief and protect the surface of your eyes from long-term damage.
At Eye Sea Davis Optometry, we identify the underlying cause of your dryness through detailed testing and provide a personalized treatment plan designed to restore comfort and support your eye health.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. It often develops in childhood and tends to worsen as the eyes continue to grow. High levels of myopia later in life can increase the risk of serious eye diseases, including glaucoma and retinal detachment.
Myopia control focuses on slowing this progression through specialized lenses and treatments that help protect long-term vision. Early intervention is key, which is why regular pediatric eye exams are so important.
Our team at Eye Sea Davis Optometry offers personalized myopia management strategies for children, including options like MiSight contact lenses and orthokeratology.

Douglas
Dr. Gaganjot Virk was incredibly kind and helpful! I received a thorough eye checkup and finally understood the actual issue with my eyes. After the first visit, I had a minor problem with my glasses, and she generously offered a free follow-up visit. Kudos to her assistant too; she was very courteous and dedicated to her work!
Shalk
Everything about my appointment was perfect: the staff was ready for me when I arrived. They helped me navigate the digital documents and expertly took me through all the testing even while orienting a new employee. Most importantly, Dr Virk was so pleasant & made me feel comfortable immediately. She listened to my concerns & collaborated with me to come up with an amazing remedy! I can see so well now.
Carol
I’ve been doing my post Lasik appointments here and they’ve been amazing! The doctor walked me through how to better take care of my lash extensions and answered a ton of other questions. And they always see me right away at my appointment time (which hasn’t been the case at any other eye doctors I’ve been to in the last decade). Would definitely recommend!
