Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain. This damage is often caused by increased pressure in the optic nerve (intraocular pressure or IOP), but glaucoma can also occur even when eye pressure is within normal ranges.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Awareness Month, a time to focus on protecting your vision from one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults. ARMD affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision, making activities like reading and driving more difficult. While there is no cure for ARMD, early detection and lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk and preserve your vision for years to come.

Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss or blindness.

Dry eye syndrome is a common yet complex condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While the symptoms—irritation, redness, and a gritty sensation—are well-known, the root cause often lies beneath the surface. One significant contributor to dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where the glands responsible for producing oils that prevent tear evaporation become blocked or damaged. At Eldorado Vision & Optical, we use LipiScan to provide precise imaging of your meibomian glands, enabling targeted treatment for dry eye relief.

At Eldorado Vision & Optical, we strive to provide advanced eye care solutions that enhance the quality and precision of eye exams. One such revolutionary tool is the Optomap, an ultra-wide field imaging device that captures high-resolution images of your retina, offering a more comprehensive view than traditional methods.

Annual comprehensive eye exams are crucial for maintaining optimal eye health and detecting potential vision problems or underlying conditions. These routine checkups allow optometrists to thoroughly assess the overall health of your eyes, identify any changes or issues, and provide timely treatment or management strategies.
