Conditions Treated

When you have an eye condition, it's important to have the optometrist diagnose and treat it quickly. At Athens Family Vision Clinic, we have provided residents of Athens, GA, with reliable eye care services for many years. Read on to learn more about some of the conditions we treat and how we do them.

Computer Vision

Computer vision is a growing eye problem that is caused by spending many hours looking at computer screens. There are treatments that you can get for this condition if it is affecting you. When you have eyes that are irritated, dry, and feeling tired, you might have computer vision.

Myopia

For patients with myopia, we offer myopia control methods. These are used to stop or slow down the progression of this eye condition so that it doesn't get as bad as it would without treatment. This can help your eyesight to be far better in the long run. 

Eye Irritation

Eye irritation is common and can be caused by several different conditions, including eye allergies, computer vision, dry eye, and more. If you have irritated eyes, don't just live with them. See the optometrist and find out what can be done to treat them for better comfort.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that affects diabetics, often when their blood sugar isn't under good control. The extra sugar in the blood can adversely affect the eyes and cause you to lose vision. We see many patients with this diabetic eye disease, and we can help. 

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is incredibly common, with most people having it to a small degree. When you have it to a larger degree, you need vision correction that is made just for patients with astigmatism. This may include toric lenses if you want to wear contacts to correct your vision. 

Glaucoma

This serious eye disease can cause a lot of problems with vision. The key to treatment is to catch this condition early and start treating it right away. You will be tested for glaucoma during your regular, yearly eye exam. If it's detected, quick treatment is highly important. 

Macular Degeneration

As people get older, they may start to experience macular degeneration. It's a very serious condition that can cause blindness over time. It's another eye condition that needs to be caught quickly once it begins.
