Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management
in London, Ontario

Prevent, Detect, & Manage Eye Diseases

Eye health is a crucial part of your overall well-being, and just like any other aspect of health, regular care and early detection can make a big difference. Through our comprehensive eye exams, we can detect a range of eye diseases, even before you notice any symptoms. 

Our team is dedicated to providing you with a thorough evaluation of your eye health, so we can catch any conditions early and develop an individualized treatment or management plan that’s right for you. 

Whether experiencing vision changes or keeping up with routine care, we support your vision. With our experience and compassionate care, you can trust that your eyes are in good hands.

The Power of Early Detection: Protecting Your Vision

Regular eye exams are key to early detection of potential eye diseases. Many conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, can develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making it crucial to have consistent check-ups. 

Early detection allows us to provide more effective management in the future. By staying on top of your exams, you’re giving your eyes the best chance for long-term health and clear vision.

Understanding Common
Eye Diseases

At Old South Optometry, we’re here to support your eye health every step of the way. Conditions like AMD, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease can impact your vision, but with early detection and dedicated care, they can often be managed effectively. 

Regular eye exams allow us to provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

AMD affects the central part of your vision, making it harder to read or see details clearly. It’s a common condition as we age, but early detection during an eye exam can help manage its progression and protect your vision with personalized care.

Cataracts cause the lens of your eye to become cloudy, making your vision blurry. They develop gradually, but regular exams help monitor them, and we’ll guide you if surgery becomes the best solution for clear sight.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss if left untreated. It often has no symptoms, but our diagnostic tools can catch it early, allowing us to recommend treatments to protect your vision.

Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape, leading to blurry or distorted vision. We can identify it early and recommend treatments like specialty contact lenses to help you see comfortably.

High blood sugar can affect your eye health, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy. Regular diabetic eye exams are essential to catch early signs and prevent vision loss through proper management and care.

Other Eye Conditions
& Symptoms

Your eyes can experience a variety of symptoms and conditions beyond common diseases, like conjunctivitis, low vision, or flashes and floaters. 

These issues can affect your comfort and vision quality. With personalized care and guidance, we’re here to help you understand and address any concerns promptly.

Conjunctivitis, or “pink eye,” is an inflammation of the eye’s outer layer. It can make your eyes red, itchy, watery, and light-sensitive. Whether caused by allergies, a virus, or bacteria, we can help diagnose the type and recommend steps to relieve discomfort and prevent it from spreading.

Low vision refers to visual impairment that can’t be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It might make daily tasks like reading or recognizing faces challenging. If you’re noticing difficulties, we’re here to explore options like vision aids and tools to support your independence and quality of life.

Flashes resemble bursts of light, while floaters appear as tiny spots or shapes drifting across your vision. They’re often harmless but could indicate a serious issue like retinal detachment. If you notice sudden changes, reach out—early evaluation is key to protecting your sight.

Diagnostic Tools for
Your Eye Health

During your exam, we may use various diagnostic technologies to obtain a detailed, accurate picture of your eye health. These tools help us detect issues early, track changes over time, and provide the best treatment options tailored to your needs. 

With innovative equipment like MYAH, OCT scans, and more, we’re here to help give your eyes get the care they deserve.

MYAH provides detailed measurements of your eye’s shape and size, which is essential for understanding myopia progression or preparing for specialty lenses. It helps us create precise, personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.

The MAESTRO imaging tool takes detailed 3D scans of your retina and optic nerve, allowing us to detect and monitor conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration. It also captures the front part of your eye, aiding in diagnosing corneal issues.

The DAYTONA captures a full view of your retina in one image, helping us spot signs of eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy or retinal tears before symptoms arise. It’s quick, painless, and gives us a comprehensive look at your eye health.

SOLOS measures the power of your current glasses with precision. This helps us compare your prescription needs so that we can make a plan to correct your vision as accurately and comfortably as possible.

This tool tests the limits of your peripheral vision to check for blind spots or changes that can often be linked to glaucoma or neurological conditions. It’s a critical step in protecting your overall visual health.
