Eye Diseases
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition that can damage the optic nerve. When left untreated, it can lead to blindness. It is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause blindness without symptoms. Regular eye exams help catch early signs and enable early treatment, creating better long-term outcomes.
Denver Vision offers comprehensive glaucoma care, from diagnosis to treatment. We use the latest technology to detect and monitor glaucoma, including digital imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing. Our doctors and specialists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss in the United States, affecting more than 20 million Americans age 40 and older. Common symptoms include blurred vision, double vision, halos around lights, difficulty seeing at night, and increased sensitivity to light. Cataracts can also lead to other eye problems, such as glaucoma.
Denver Vision is a leading provider of cataract treatment in Denver. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for cataracts, including surgery if necessary. Our team of skilled doctors will work with you to restore your vision and improve your quality of life.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, particularly age-related (AMD), is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 60. Macular degeneration affects the central part of your retina, which is responsible for your central vision, used when you’re reading, driving, or looking straight ahead. The good news is that early diagnosis and treatment can help preserve your vision.
Denver Vision can help diagnose and treat macular degeneration. We offer a full range of services to help improve your vision, including medical treatment, optical treatments, and low vision rehabilitation.
Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease is a condition that affects the eyes due to a lack of tears, which creates necessary lubrication that helps protect the eyes. Symptoms include:
- A feeling like something is in your eye
- Blurred vision
- Burning or stinging sensations in your eyes
- Increased sensitivity to light
Denver Vision can help diagnose and treat this condition with the latest treatments, including Lipo-Flow. This new treatment uses gentle pulses of heat to liquefy the oils blocking the meibomian glands from secreting oil. This treatment is comfortable and takes only minutes to complete.
Diabetes
Diabetes can impact vision in a few ways, the most common of which is diabetic retinopathy. This occurs when the effects of diabetes damage the blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to blindness.
Denver Vision offers comprehensive eye exams for people with diabetes and offers treatment for diabetic retinopathy if it is detected. Treatment may include laser surgery or injections into the eye to help preserve vision.
